User reviews
The only thing that lets this app down is the very laggy keyboard input. You think you have entered a word for checking, and then you look at the input panel, and only the last couple of letters are there. It is as if The app is asleep and suddenly realises that you are typing!
when do you ever get the choice to have no adds for free, I've kept them on as their only at the bottom and I do use it a lot, and it's only fair for the Dev
Worryingly American The vocabluary is based on Collins dictionary, unfortunately far too many Americanisms also allows trademark names and words like Ebaying. Worse atill are the pluralsbwhich are allowed and the attrocious spelling options. It would be good to have a proper Oxford English version. Instead of including South Afican, Afircaans and Australian slang as well .
