Dictionary.com Pro English for Positive User Reviews

✓ Mrs BenningVery reliable and helpful even when spelling is wrong I always get options.LarteleyVersion: 11.5.0

✓ PaulyI use this app all the time; both for its dictionary and thesaurus. Not necessarily to check spelling,I find it helpful with grammar and meanings also. I hope you find this review helpful;and enjoy the “Word of the Day” too. Cheers PaulyX..PaulygadVersion: 11.6.0

✓ EffectiveThis user friendly dictionary is very effective and you go to in any time that you need an assistance with your writing- listening or reading..4whysthVersion: 9.0.0

✓ Love this appWithout doubt one of my favourite apps. Easy and fun to use.NewearthgirlVersion: 7.4.4

✓ I love my dictionaryI use my dictionary every day when I read a book, or a magazine, or newspaper. I love the fact that my dictionary is always at my fingertips whenever I need it. I wish they had electronic dictionaries when I was growing up, because it would’ve made it so much easier to learn new words. I have had my dictionary now for about five years and I will still love it since the day I bought it. If you love learning new words, I recommend that you get an (app) electronic dictionary on your cell phone. You will love it!.ScmlnVersion: 8.13.1

✓ What have you done!What’s this new “Did you mean?” tab all about? But worst of all, when a search result is displayed, the outline favourites icon flashes briefly then disappears. Ergo, since your update I can’t add anything to my favourites list. Yes, I have deleted and reinstalled the app. You’ve just screwed up what was a brilliant app! Update: I’m used to being ignored when reporting buggy apps. Not these guys though. Within only two days they admitted the bugs, fixed them, and posted the update. All the while keeping me informed by email. Back up to five stars now but given the level of support I received, they most certainly deserve an extra star. Very impressive, and my favourite app of all time is working properly again..ProthalusVersion: 9.8.2

✓ One of my best appsDictionary maybe the first free app I downloaded after purchasing my first smartphone in 2010 and I’ve never stopped using it. It’s simple, reliable, inspiring, assuring and just the best little app to kill time if you’re not into app games. Yes, I check out new words, reconfirm rarely used ones, and I just love it for me professional and personal use. If I had to delete my apps, this one would have to remain..LakatanVersion: 11.4.0

✓ Love it 🤟It remains one of my favourites; I use it everyday and everywhere, at leisure, at work and sometimes just to kill time..CharlielovattVersion: 9.7.7

✓ Superb AppThis App is incredibly helpful and has improved my dialect substantially. Would highly recommend if you are looking for alternative diction..RschlongVersion: 11.6.0

✓ Incredible toolI've been writing and teaching writing for more than 50 years and regret that this powerhouse was not available sooner. This is not just a dictionary, it's a plunge into the heart of the language. I was delighted when it was just a dictionary but the add-ons make it much more useful. I seldom use the add-ons, but when I do, I find them incredibly useful. I am anxious to support these developers in their work. These latest improvements make it even more intuitive. I can get lost in the app like others playing Halo. Thanks for keeping the language fascinating and inviting..Father of Galactic NationsVersion: 11.6.0

✓ Love the thisLove this app and use it everyday for spelling and the thesaurus for inspiration in my writing. Quick and easy to use..Kerry EddieVersion: 7.4.5

✓ BrilliantBrilliant app, I love this app.RchipieVersion: 11.4.0

✓ DictionaryBest thing I have ever had. Takes few seconds to check word or spelling..Mansur SomaniVersion: 9.3.0

✓ Very UsefullEasy to use, spell correct and great explanation of the history of a word..Silence GoodnightVersion: 11.5.0

✓ Is it possible to just ‘flip through the dictionary’?It seems to be impossible to just flip through and find words. I open the app and only get access to “The Word of the Day” not exactly the only reason one needs to access a dictionary. The settings don’t seem to work either. My faulty memory seems to recall a better app than what I’ve seen over the past few months..Dinghao BunnyVersion: 7.5.10

✓ Swipe to go back and fav wordsI love the app. I would recommend two major updates: 1) swipe to go back. I would love it if we could swipe to go our previous page. Right now that arrow at the top left is hard to reach and not very intuitive to the iOS experience. 2) a more organized favourite words list. Perhaps creating a feature to have different folders to group words (legal, buzz words, Latin, Greek, etc).Canada029977Version: 9.4.0

✓ New version less usefulHad the pro version of this app for years. I loved it because with the offline dictionary I could use it for finding the proper spellings of words when there was no wifi or cell service. Unfortunately now the offline dictionary doesn't give suggestions as you type unless you have wifi or cell data, just get the annoying message saying “Oops something went wrong! Please try again in a moment.” With wifi or cell I can just use google. Don’t care what it looks like, just wish they would fix this issue! 1/20/‘21: Looks like my suggested word issue has been resolved. Thanks! I bumped it to 4 stars. It works, that’s good enough for me. BTY please don’t change the iPad version..Play r extrmVersion: 8.10.0

✓ Great app but disappointedI payed for this app and use it often, love it! Although I can’t give a 5 star rating because I was very disappointed when I opened it on my ipad it wanted me to PAY AGAIN! I have many paid apps that the full version works on both iphone and iPad WITHOUT AN EXTRA “DOUBLE” CHARGE! I just cant justify this greed. I paid a LOT for the FULL VERSION of this app and would expect to be able to use it on either of MY devices..Not1lostVersion: 7.5

✓ GoodGood.DschettlerVersion: 7.5.3

✓ Better than other well known publishersBought this after much frustration with the Oxford concise dictionary and thesaurus. This app does the job much better and left me wishing I’d purchased it in the first instance..Mj-HarrisVersion: 7.5.5

✓ DictionaryIt serves its purpose.DialamanVersion: 11.2.1

✓ What’s going on?I use this app constantly for university work and more generally which is why I paid for the pro version. Recently the app has only allowed me to do one word search, the second search freezes the app and I have to close and reopen it. This is very annoying when you have to get through a piece of writing. I’ve checked for an update but can’t see anything. Needs some bug fixing, so sort it out!.BibobubVersion: 7.5.29

✓ FixDictionary pro is my go to source if I’m looking at learning a new word/phrase.. it’s been excellent so far until the recent update. After updating, all the features that comes with it vanished into thin air.. can’t tell if it’s a glitch or it was intentional on the part of the developers.. I can’t find the idioms, example, learners encyclopedia and all the other functions that it came with.. would be glad if this could be fixed in the next update..ChristInMeTheHopeOfGloryVersion: 8.4.4

✓ ADs?!😵😱🤯I’ve used this dictionary app for years and found it to be useful and enjoyable. Unfortunately, I began seeing advertisements several times whenever I read an article, took a quiz, or viewed the words of the day. I thought I mistakenly downloaded the free version, as this is a new iPhone, but it was indeed the Pro version. I deleted the app and I’m purchasing it again- believe me, the app is worth the onetime small fee- and if I continue to see advertisements, I’ll contact customer service..Kelliedoll22Version: 7.5.10

✓ Great appThis is a great app for any person who wants to learn more English or does a lot of writing.John de FreitasVersion: 11.1.2

✓ Tweaking idea for great app.I find this app heads and shoulders over most dictionary apps, however, I’d like to see some major updates and improvements in the area of utility beyond the conventional word-search mode. For instance, it’d come in very handy if words saved by the user under favorites could pop up every once in a while - along with their definitions - at a user defined frequency. This will keep that section dynamic instead of “dead in the drawer” awaiting exploration via a very cumbersome scrolling process. I do so hope someone in the development team is listening. Thanks..Mistar RashidVersion: 7.5.3

✓ Should stick to definitions not opinionI have really enjoyed this app for the most part. I share the word of the day with a friend almost every morning and we really like it. She is an avid crossword player. What I find unacceptable is that the extra articles tend to lean on the trendy politically correct or just downright liberal end of the spectrum. Since I'm not one of the millennials it seems to target, I actually know a bit of historical context for many of these articles and it's not as they portray them. It's not "balanced" or objective. I would like to see these little tidbits of interest be just informative not simply opinionated, trendy and vapid. If your going to include these at all do a better job. Or maybe include one of those disclaimers that says this is just an opinion..Jaab1Version: 7.5

✓ Wonderful dictionary with room for improvementWould be great if you could export favourite word definitions to a file to be able to print/save a copy..SegravecVersion: 9.11.0

✓ Does not have some words that are in other dictionarysI was playing Scrabble only to discover my opponent found words in other dictionaries that was not in my Dictionary app. Disappointed.LorrvanaVersion: 11.1.0

✓ Good, aside from the accent.Would expect there to be an RP option for pronunciation to alleviate that irritating rhotic R the Americans insist upon..JoodarseVersion: 7.4.4

✓ I love the app — but why...There are so many apps on the iPad/Pro that present only in portrait view. When an app such this one opens when I have my iPad Pro in the keyboard, I have to remove it to view in portrait view. I have done it so often that I have weakened the plastic corner of the keyboard screen casing. Why can’t the app producers all address this small improvement..SweetTaffoVersion: 8.7.0

✓ Quick and easy to use...روبیVersion: 11.5.0

✓ Really helpful appI have to look up words I see or read that I’m not familiar with. It drives me crazy to not know what something means. I have a long list of words to look up and learn which at the time I heard them, I didn’t have time to stop and look up. I like that I can have the words in question voiced to me also. That’s a big help. And it keeps me from embarrassing myself by pronouncing words incorrectly. I rarely pay for a lot of apps that charge you to get rid of the ad’s, but this one was worth it. It’s very easy to navigate when you’re in the app. I just love having a Dictionary in hand whenever I need one. There isn’t a downside to having this..I dare you to show thisVersion: 7.5.1

✓ Unfailing useful.When not sure about word context this app helps tremendously. I expect that its’ data is supported by web sources and therefore is contemporary in its results. No faults found on any searches. If this review appears unexciting that’s only because of how well the app works..KevBaildVersion: 7.5.27

✓ Great dictionaryThank you for the great job you do to create this dictionary and let anyone using it for free!.DotzevVersion: 11.6.0

✓ DictionaryA great reference to combat momentary memory lapses on spelling and definitions..Tcm.drVersion: 9.13.2

✓ Used for many yearsUpdate: The software glitch has been fixed and I am able to use app. Pleased that developer took time to email an updated version was available. Paid for upgraded version and have been using since 2012 and have always loved until today. Cannot use due to pop up saying “We need your support” to allow tracking ads..LL2WVersion: 9.10.1

✓ My WordOne of the most useful and 'muchly' (my word) appreciated apps I use daily. Kudos! I use the up-dated premium app even more..MyWord!!!Version: 10.0.0

✓ WordsLoads and loads of diction to behold, every word and definition you will ever need. I’d recommend it to anybody who struggles with the English language..Rckstrmac75Version: 7.5.21

✓ GreatGreat convenience.MotherisxVersion: 9.9.1

✓ One touch definition and reverse button wishedThis app has saved much time in conversation over the years. Adding a feature which enables ... 1) touching a word 2) proceeding to ask whether or not to open a new window(screen) for that diction 3) once opening that diction, offering an option to return to original screen via reverse button on top left ... Would help greatly. Keep doing the daily word..ImsohighicanfliVersion: 7.5.18

✓ DictionaryVery useful on my mobile phone, finding it Very educational and enlightening with frequently new words and meanings explained! Also finding daily words quizzes Very entertaining and gives lots of self confidence and satisfaction when able to solve the meanings by guessing the word from its pronunciations !.Paddy VishaniVersion: 11.4.0

✓ Dictionary Offers Historical ContextDictionary offers linguistically, historical context in word origin for words you are looking up. While this can simply be just a fun little tidbit of information, often times I find it provides better clarity in how I’m conveying my own ideas. In other words, sometimes, when I see how a word originated in meaning & perhaps historically changed over time, I’ll look up other words to see if they offer better, more direct clarity for concepts & ideas I wish to covey..@ScottMD72 Scott DavenportVersion: 10.0.0

✓ Pretty brilliant however……sadly the app crashes now and then; not a huge issue and I am, after all, on a ye-olden iPhone 6s. I keep the phone and all my apps updated (and check daily). The only reason I’m not giving this 5 stars is that sometimes only American English (vs English English, usually contains a ‘z’ for the former where we’d use an ‘s’ in the latter😁) spellings appear. It’s important to me to always write correctly and it’s a wee bit frustrating to not always have this pointed out when UK English spellings *do* exist. It’s actually really hard to find clarified in app descriptions (if at all) which variation is used. However, I’ve paid for this one and I love it. I’m just a bloody pedant 🤣.Angell1617Version: 9.7.2

✓ Great tool!It is always very helpful and reliable..GslivinskiVersion: 7.5.1

✓ Heavy userI’ve relied on this app for several years, big fan. A minor but constant annoyance would be that the far right side of the search bar doesn’t “listen” to taps... I am someone who is inclined to use my right thumb, and every time I want to search for a word I end up stabbing hopelessly before remembering that I have to reach or use my left thumb. MINOR flaw, I know.. but just making a note....Chris.lyonsVersion: 7.5.13

✓ Alternate ViewI love this App and have used it for years. The only frustration with it is that it doesn’t work in landscape. If you are creating a document or email and need to look up a word, you have to detach the keyboard and rotate the iPad. It would be wonderful to have the app auto-rotate like most other Apps. I would be happy to pay for it too..PhilBobMacVersion: 7.5.27

✓ Great app.Great app I have it on both devices. It helps me with spelling n meanings. Then teaches me some new words n fun games..Fuk u n ur horseVersion: 7.5.27

✓ Please fix some problems after updateGreat app! It had became painfully slow when I decided to check whether there was an update, and I was glad I did. There are some problems after the update though. I can no longer add words to favorites. The star icon beside each word is gone. Also, every time I search for a word, even a simple word like “restaurant”, it jumps to “DID YOU MEAN” after I click search whiling showing “no results found”, when it should just directly show the meaning of the word. Then I have to click “DEFINITION” to get the definition. My final complaint is that the app did not remind me to update, or simply update itself automatically. My app had become painfully slow, and I had to search for “Dictionary.com pro” to see if there was an update, and trust me it was not easy, because it is not among the first few results and I have to scroll all the way down to find it..GaaaayejdbdVersion: 9.8.0

✓ Word huntingThis is useful for checking words quickly and better than searching through a conventional dictionary. It’s rather US based for a Brit, but still good value..Capella 13Version: 9.11.0

✓ So Appreciated!I so appreciate the features of this dictionary, it's huge vocabulary of new words, Latin maxims, and words and phrases from medicine and law. I also appreciate being able to hear the correct pronunciation of every word. This app comes in handy so often I placed it in a cluster called Reference which I put in the fixed row at the bottom so my fav search / reference tools are readily available from any screen. This app is so appreciated I which you could license it to Apple to make it standard equipment on every iPhone..TonyXavierVersion: 11.6.0

✓ DoctorBest app on my smartphone. Great information with etymology. Only if once you find a favourite word, you didn’t, once reading its meaning, you didn’t end back at the start and search the same words. Infinite source of information on word meanings and importantly their origins. Word of the day, l never miss it. I only wish l had this appetite for knowledge when younger. Love the app. Grizzly Bear. I still enjoy and value the app. But, my word of the day doesn’t refresh every day and takes up to a week to catch up. I need to turn my phone on and off to refresh. I have to go to my emails to retrieve word of the day. And now I can’t do W O T D quiz on email. Still use the app frequently though l love it otherwise..Forget the nickname. 5 triesVersion: 11.4.0

✓ Always there as a great tool for the Lifelong LearnerBeyond the passive, standardized ‘spellcheck’ apps’, ~ that can be as misleading as your ordinary ‘GPS’ is, while driving the backroads ~ this Dictionary application is great. As an avid writer and poet , it’s been an indispensable tool since I first downloaded it. The thesaurus is very handy as well, as are myriad other tools included in this particular digital Dictionary!!! I use it regularly and it was free, (-and I’m really grateful. ) “ ***** “5 ~ star’s, easily.....!!!..TJG IIIVersion: 11.5.0

✓ Good but slowGreat app but slower than the previous version which I still have (and prefer to use) on my iPad..JohnPatrick9Version: 8.13.1

✓ Great help in referencing spelling- and meaning.Everyday business letters need to be correct and Dictionary is a great help being on the same screen, not having to move across to a printed version..GarageistVersion: 9.7.7

✓ US English onlySurprised to find this app is only an “American English” dictionary. This means spelling and pronunciation variation is all but ignored so this app is quite misleading and hopeless if you’re hoping to learn something that’s not US English..Gkuyf6378207Version: 7.5.7

✓ Network ManagerGood product. It works great for looking up definitions, which is the primary purpose of any dictionary. This app promises an additional feature, Word of the Day, to help improve your vocabulary and educate. Every time I try to look at the word of the day, I'm presented with the word from the past (apparently the last time I looked at it). Refreshing it to the current date is extremely difficult and often not worth the time and effort. There is room for improvement here..Smitty83647Version: 7.5

✓ I use this for everythingGreat app, always provides multiple well-labled definitions and I love the word of the day feature..ClaireceVersion: 7.4.4

✓ Widget suggestionApp is great, would be even better if the widget allowed you to enter a word right in the widget, on the home screen, and it would display the definition right there instead of having to go into the app.SJFBVersion: 10.0.0

✓ Use of the Dictionary appPeople say engineers can’t spell. I submit; but I use the Dictionary App very often. And, my Ap is loaded: example sentences, etc. I love it. Now I can spell and write..Pickuphockeygame.comVersion: 11.2.0

✓ Handy.A handy app that I’ve been using for quite a few years..RyehillsVersion: 7.5.1

✓ Dictionary ReviewI like to be certain I choose the right words when I converse with friends - written or verbally. Since I am aging I use the dictionary daily. When reading a book, so easy to check the meaning of a word. The new format works for me..Apple GalaVersion: 8.13.1

✓ Copious concisenessI use this app every day. The app and its database is simple to use and uncluttered in its presentation. The word origins are clear and uncomplicated. There are also very useful audio examples of pronunciation. I am British and this dictionary is oriented towards American English, but in that way it provides a broad universality for the way the English language is used worldwide. Highly recommend..AntipholousVersion: 10.0.0

✓ Doesn’t function independent of the internetHello, Your dictionary is generally very helpful, but only when used under the umbrella of the internet. I’m certain I have a paid version, and it was my understanding that it would also function as a stand-alone app, not dependent upon the internet. I am frequently working at remote locations, and am unable to use it in those situations. As I recall, I “downloaded” the dictionary in the past, but to no avail. When the internet is available, I can throw any word I want out there for spelling and definition just by doing a random internet search. However, I’d like something that is readily available when the internet is not. I don’t mind upgrading or paying extra for such a feature, but I abhor the idea of needing a quick confirmation of (what is typically) a simple word or idiom only to be told an internet connection is required. Please advise..DocmannVersion: 7.5.11

✓ Best dictionary created forI highly recommend this app to everyone and anyone who is looking for a "good" dictionary. Features of this dictionary has got me captivated, if it can't get in the first 5 minutes you've really lost me but this particular app has it all: translator, it pronounces the words, examples of how it can be used and it's all there when you search a word! Also, it's got a variety of things to look at which is interesting. I say it's better than a dictionary you buy in store!! I'm doing nursing, so I search a lot of medical terms and this dictionary has catered for it; it has upgrades which is suitable for many. Everyday this app has a word of the day, my challenge is to try and use it once throughout my day. It is efficient and it's there if you are ever stuck..LoccodelucaVersion: 5.2.1

✓ Best dictionary out thereBasic or detailed it’s all here. The best words book I’ve seen. When each update gets better, what’s the point at looking further..GsDalsinVersion: 10.0.0

✓ Organize Favorites?So far I really like this app! But to take this to the next level I recommend having a way to organize favorites somehow. When learning vocabulary it has been proven that we learn more effectively by organizing words by ‘meaning’. Why not allow users to custom make a folder or place holder? Additionally syncing to iCloud in this respect would be ideal. Developers please take note and consider this tweak for your paid supporters. Would be worth 10 stars if they could add this feature... I hope I don’t get asked again during my session(s) to rate your app, especially since I denied notifications at the root level..GtrInLAVersion: 7.5

✓ AwesomeGreat app for clarifying the meaning of words that I don’t know and for alternative words for use instead. I would not use my phone ow iPad without it!.DocMom10Version: 7.5.7

✓ Outstanding resource, well designedEven the most erudite writer will occasionally need to verify spelling, or confirm the meaning of words or phrases. The Dictionary app is as close to perfection as you can get. It has a gargantuan number of words. The synonyms are a life saver when your memory has drawn a blank. It won't teach you grammar or polish your shoes, but it will keep you out of trouble at least 99 percent of the time. Do you know a better way to spend a few bucks? I don't..UmeshMVersion: 7.5.1

✓ Pretty goodVery useful app indeed.Aliche54Version: 7.5.13

✓ Little Accessibility/Disability AccommodationThe accessibility for this app for people who have low vision is remarkably bad. For an app that requires reading, the text options must be fixed. For example, if the text size reflects that of the iOS user, the thesaurus words all become unreadable and only show maybe 1 letter each. Similarly, the definition word will reflect the iOS settings and be enlarged (which is pointless because I already know the word I’m searching…); however, the text in parts of the app that actually require reading (i.e., the definitions, learners, examples, etc.) do not enlarge…I am further confused because the non-pro version of this app you are able to pinch zoom to read (great!), yet the pro version does not allow this feature?? So, if I want to be able to pinch zoom to read better, I have to use the non-pro version and re-purchase the upgrades, which I have already purchased with the pro version. The failure of the developers to fix these issues is borderline discriminatory. It is a simple fix that is well overdue..Mini_zOmbrieVersion: 9.7.2

✓ Still learningI had a fabulous English teacher in high school who introduced me to the love of learning new words, their origins and use. It wasn't always fun at the time because I was a kid. Still, the year long have to turned into a lifetime of want to. This website is just awesome. I love everything about it and enjoy the quizzes too. I love being able to hear a new word or look up a word using the microphone when I'm uncertain about the spelling. I'm old but still learning. 👍👍❤️.MarilynMimiVersion: 11.1.3

✓ More than a dictionaryIt’s a dictionary. And a thesaurus. And it does both jobs well. But it’s also an educational toy, featuring a daily ‘word of the day’ with examples of use and the etymology. It’s a great memory building tool and an excellent insight to the origins of the English language. There’s some entertaining word and grammar quizzes; all in all a versatile and practical app..Burlington BertyVersion: 8.13.1

✓ New logo better without pro labelFour updates later pro label was finally removed. Thanks. On another note, app looked classier in the past, there was no need to adopt the “cheap Urban Dictionary” look. Maybe update that as well? Duuudes, why?? I know I have the pro version, no need to remind me every time I look at my Home Screen, plus, it makes the app look like the cheap or free ones... at least add the option to turn it off. Two updates later, label is still there. Horrible. Moving app to a folder where I don’t have to look at your UGLY pro label every day....ManuelslgVersion: 8.11.2

✓ Good But Needs Badges!My home screen shows all alert info including "Dictionary" word of the day. However my first impulse when I log into my iPhone is to clear all badges then review their associated information. Because there are no Alert badges with dictionary it is often missed and subsequently forgotten. Now my go to dictionary for those words you “think you know the meanings of but just want to be certain”. For example: Are we experiencing inflation or conflation? We’ll both are true do to the myriad of reasons given for why the inflation is occurring in the first place!.HCrap3Version: 10.0.6

✓ Helps one’s memoryThe dictionary helps us in so many ways. Makes memory much sharper, stimulates vocabulary and increases vocabulary. It helps one recall of words..Bella BundaVersion: 9.11.0

✓ Enjoying to use and comprehensiveI love using this app. This app is not a one trick pony and does it all in a user-friendly environment. To further improve the usability of the app, I think all sections (e.g. definitions, thesaurus, learners) which are divided by tabs can be put together on one swipeable “General” tab. In that case, you don’t have to press 12 tabs one by one for a thorough investigation of a term considering the fact that many of them are irrelevant or without entry. Tabs can remain there as anchors for faster access to a specific part of the General tab..TygerJonesVersion: 7.5.1

✓ DictionaryGreat app I use it frequently, very handy!.BaineeVersion: 7.5.10

✓ GoldA versatile and comprehensive resource! Satisfies my word fetish perfectly : ).Jellycat19Version: 7.4.4

✓ Nice to haveBut, few words still missing eg: ‘eejit’. Now a days I am not getting audio pronunciation..Prasad HassanVersion: 7.5.18

✓ Good definitions, often terrible examplesI cannot give this app five stars because the examples often seem to have been picked randomly by some algorithm with no understanding of the context. For example, when I looked up “meme” today the example given was in French, and the only relationship with the definition given was the occurrence of the four letters MEME. Needless to say, that four-letter word in French has a completely different meaning. This is an extreme example, but English instances are quite common..Mark W in HouTXVersion: 7.5.1

✓ The best app I’ve ever known.It’s the best. It’s educational. It’s fun to use and user friendly. However, I’d of loved to see it synchronise with a computer (so have an account on it). I would of loved it to have some export capabilities so one could export words saved to another platform. Thanks.Fabiano NiyonkuruVersion: 7.5.29

✓ HeadleyWhat has happened to the ‘Origin’ source in the dictionary. For many of us, etymology is the most interesting and informative material..Proton47Version: 7.5.19

✓ Nice appI like using this dictionary app.O. FedVersion: 7.5.1

✓ Great app, use it oftenWorks well and stays on my home screen because I use it all the time. I love all the features and extra dictionaries and thesaurus..CherryskinVersion: 7.4.5

✓ Great app. Vocabulary builder?I use the app often. One thing I could use within the app is a vocabulary builder type function (flash cards come to mind)..ScroggsolaVersion: 7.5.13

✓ Transformational!I use it daily!! Love it! It expends my mind!.Sabrina ArmaniVersion: 8.13.1

✓ AccessLove it! Accessing via my iPad when reading text is an essential tool!.Jt@tdVersion: 10.0.6

✓ FabulousI am content knowing that I got my moneys worth purchasing the full edition. Offline use and the learners edition are convenient features of this application as they allow you to expand your vocabulary anytime and anywhere. Highly recommended for purchase of the full edition..Amber.Lee99Version: 7.5.1

✓ Dictionary applicationDictionary application is user-friendly and it provides multiples of services. The design of the app is also user-friendly. I enjoy using the app at least 20 to 30 times a day either for looking up the definitions of words, for exploring how the word is use in sentence and looking at the thesaurus. I would recommend anyone to use this application whether it be for school or for personal use..Dr.DannaVersion: 10.0.0

✓ Handy, helpful and funHandy off-line dictionary. I use it all the time!.JazzibelleVersion: 9.9.3

✓ IconLove the app and have used it for years but please get rid of the “Pro” banner in the bottom left corner of the new icon. It looks so ugly and cheap. Meh..CowsOfOurPlanetVersion: 8.9.7

✓ Last update broke it! FixFWB, 2020: Do people never test out their updates on actual devices. Can’t understand it. There is a message about privacy or something but the screen is frozen and can’t go past this. Infuriating. I hate being annoyed by constant reminders to upgrade especially after I have already paid for the application. One reminder is more than enough!.JoehvVersion: 7.5.27

✓ Very good AppVery good App I have been using past few years now and it's helpful for my spelling ..Arvind chotaliaVersion: 8.6.3

✓ Has my approvalI’ve been using this app since I can remember having my first iPhone. (2010) I mostly use the thesaurus. It use to be to write my college term papers, as a teacher my students were required to have it, as a mom with a brilliant minded child w Autism it is used to provide a tangible/visible way for him to understand when one word can have two different meanings. I enjoy learning a new word a day. I love that feature. This app also allows you hear how words are pronounced. This feature is incredibly helpful for people who may have learning disabilities, learning a new language - for me it helps because reading aloud is not my strongest attribute..SundaeloveVersion: 11.6.0

✓ Better than the othersThis app is definitly the easiest to use. Being able to switch quickly from dictionary to thesaurus and being able to quickly jump from one entry to another from the lists makes it seamless to look up a few words very quickly. great for writers, english langauge learners, or rememerbing that word that was on the tip of your tongue! no phone is complete without it!.Ripjc55Version: 7.5.29

✓ Good with some annoying issuesI really want to give it a 5 star but there are problems prevent me from giving a satisfied review. The dictionary itself is great but the app is terrible. It got frozen and crash every now and then. I can never download offline dictionary, it gives an error message every time I tried saying there is an error when communicating with server. I emailed the support team but never got response. Fix the problem! The problem is solved I got offline dictionary now..BeninaxVersion: 7.5.16

✓ Valuable tool for people labeled as learning disabledI am 64 years old and process dominantly with my long term memory and very little with short term memory. As such spelling for me has always been an issue that frequently leaves, friends, family, and work positions I interact confused, requiring them to confront if I am “learning disabled”. The use of this app with the voice activation provides those of us sidelined by others, who require “social normality” a more comfortable way to interact - it’s greatly appreciated. In my professional occupation I am an Architect and Builder of Custom Projects, with my spelling people will categorize people like myself as incompetent, artistic, or genius. Using your app. I am provided the opportunity of being perceived as “Normal” when and if I choose to be seen as “Normal” and not seen an individual. Thank you. Mark.Mark TelshawVersion: 11.1.3

✓ AudibleI love the fact it pronounces the word. Now, not only can I spell the word, find it’s meaning, check similar words but I know that when I use the word, I am using correct pronunciation. Love it!.Nanna DarlingVersion: 9.3.0

✓ Love this app! 👍🏻I feel more confident when I write or spell something, because I can take my dictionary with me wherever I go. A very handy tool to have at your finger tips!.😊 joyVersion: 11.4.0

✓ PamdrewOne of the best apps on my phone.BfsyjmfrVersion: 7.5.16

✓ Life saverHey creators of this app. This app is great thanks for making it. I’m in a season of lots of study which involves lots writing. Why only four stars? Well because after updating it the full version so I loose the ads which is great the app no longer expands into a full page on my IPad which I use A LOT and also does not turn with the screen - if I need to type. This may be due to the app getting made for IPhones only. But if you makes these subtle changes I will rate again with 5 STARS and be forever grateful. Thanks.Heylil90Version: 7.5.13

✓ What's in a word?Another problem cropped up. Now the App keeps telling me no network connection, yet when I check the connection in WiFi it shows I have an excellent connection! This only happens in this app, which I use all the time! Update: I am not happy with this latest Ext update!!! Why do I know how to go back to switch a button so I can view the thesaurus? The whole app was much easier to use before. Why change what users are happy with?! My first review: Use this paid version on my iPhone & iPad all the time. Most complete dictionary & thesaurus out there. No glitches. Can hear proper pronunciations. Luv this and word of the day and slideshows! FYI I have the Pro version. I’ve disliked the changes made, I think a couple years ago, including the new logo. The pre updated look and app were much more user friendly and had zero glitches! Ever since then I’ve had problems.777SpazVersion: 9.11.0

✓ So handy to useAs an avid reader I encounter words whose meaning escapes me on a daily basis. Although I am not glued to it like some, My iPhone is always handy. (I still like reading “old fashioned” books!) I use this app almost as much as the HP calculator app and its so convenient not to have the physical dictionary and calculator on a table wherever I am reading. My phone is always in my pocket. My only wish is that the contents were downloadable so when out of range of the internet it was still usable. My phone has oodles of unused memory so that should not be an issue..Hotub1Version: 11.2.1

✓ Love it*Update Review Sept 2022* I am enjoying the look and user friendliness of the app, keep on improving, I love the thesaurus too which give your vocabulary different looks ————————————————————————- I Really like this app, especially with the example sentences & the thesaurus. The addition of the pronunciation button that you can press if the word of the day is an obscure word really helps too..Jaye's22Version: 11.1.1

✓ My Go-To Dictionary...I can’t fault this app in any way. It’s more than a dictionary: word games/quizzes, videos about things like their “Word of the Year”, also, the Word of the Day (which most of these have, tbh) is actually very educational. Love it!.Hello Time BombVersion: 7.5.1

✓ Not that greatI’ve been using the free version for years but decided to upgrade when I couldn’t find the word kae (a jackdaw or jay). So, it turns out that the first word I entered wasn’t in the dictionary. Also, bident is not in the dictionary. A two-pronged implement like pitchfork. A weapon associated with Hades the ruler of the underworld..Tony in BronteVersion: 7.5.29

✓ Excellent AppI have tried a few dictionaries and found this app to be amongst the best. Mainly due to the search tool and it's availability off line. Often I know a word but cannot spell it correctly. The app offers up many "sounds like" results and more often than not I will find the word that I am looking for..IrthlingVersion: 7.4.5

✓ Great, but 2 gripesGreat app. But, I have two issues: 1. It bugs me that I pay for the app and the app icon is uglier than the free version! 2. It would be better if you used native UI elements not your custom UI which is slower and harder to use. General speed improvements would be good too. Thanks..AquillyneVersion: 7.5.1

✓ What if???This app is amazing and I use it all the time. It provides so much more than a regular dictionary. Now, the question is what if??? I recently began learning Spanish and my question is what if they were to make it possible where the word (in 2nd language of choice, such as if you were learning Spanish) can be presented with the word you were looking up and if selected be pronounced??? This could be a huge breakthrough if this were to happen and there could be a small fee paid for this monthly or yearly for being an additional service. It would only make this app so much better and far more popular!!! I hope they read this..FKTHISNICKNAMEVersion: 7.5.15

✓ Tired of politically correct & liberal agendaI agree w/ the about the ads being ridiculously pc & always pushing the liberal agenda. The truth is no longer spoken or taught & democracy is out the door. These articles are so skewed to the left it is sickening. Unfortunately, in this new far left era there is no room for thought, consideration, or fairness for all. The rhetoric, like our rights & lives, are no longer equal. Equality should be for all people, all voices & all opinions. This should be seen in the information, entertainment, media, & on line venues as well. The new left equality is only for the left & truth, honesty, & fairness are being ‘left’ out. Try equality, the founders of this country found it to be worth fighting for as we all should..Jojo.HMVersion: 7.5.1

✓ Improve use & enjoyment of language, with this perfect blend of conciseness & thoroughnessI use this app all the time, and it’s right at the top of my list of favs (surpassed perhaps only by Blue Letter Bible’s app). I have always loved words, and a mentor once gave me a sage admonition never to use a word I couldn’t define. He insisted it was arrogant. I’ve found his challenge has helped me be more precise in my thinking, humble in my attitude, and appreciative of others’ wordsmithing skills. And it makes learning from others more fun. Well, this program just facilitates all these. In the world of language, it allows for real-time, “point of care” use and learning. I’ve looked up things while in hospital meetings (I’m a physician), while waiting in line, writing emails or other documents, and writing reviews for iPhone apps. I love the etymology tool, as it helps make definitions and nuances easier for me to remember, and the words themselves more vivid & enriching. I suggested the app to my son recently, as I’ve found that regardless of what kind of work we do, communication that shows attention to word usage (as well as grammar) captures people’s attention — and rightly so. If you want to improve your use, understanding and enjoyment of language, I think you’ll find this program very valuable. Strongly recommended!.Flinstone09Version: 7.5.7

✓ The Best!Suggestion: need a copy button to copy the correct spelling of a word so I can paste it in my email or wherever For example, I dictated the word “Hallelujah “ because I did not know how to spell it. It immediately came up with the correct spelling, however I was not able to copy the spelling in order to paste it where desired. Please give us a copy button. Thank you. Love it! Always has my needed answer. I upgraded--well worth it. Efficient. Thorough. Superior app. So handy. Easy to use! Handy dependable..Sharon P.Version: 11.5.0

✓ Good but not ExceptionalI have always loved the origin of words. I always liked my dictionary nearby to look up meanings while reading. Since I purchased my first iPhone, I downloaded “Dictionary” on the recommendation of a magazine article, and like a lot of your reviewers, the dictionary and thesaurus did not disappoint. However, like many of your reviewers, I find that the examples of partisan politics in many of your articles disturbing. Those of us who enjoy using your app are bright enough to understand that arguments and examples from both sides of the “aisle” can be brought to bear in many of your otherwise informative articles. Bringing politics into a subject where it has no specific role is cheap, gratuitous, and beneath the purveyors of such a wonderful app..LJ AkaarVersion: 7.5.20

✓ Works again on iPhoneUpdate: issue described below appears to be fixed now. Very useful app. —— The search is bugged making the app useless. Input a word in the search field, it appears in the list. Click on the word in the list to view the definition and it brings up an entirely different word. No way around it..SITM NSVersion: 8.4.2

✓ Superb & easyNever feel lost for words again as this app doesn’t just cover spelling but gives meaning, used the word in a sentence, for context, plus it has a thesaurus in it too. Of all the apps i own this is the most used and practical. Thank you.Jools50Version: 7.5.1

✓ Absolutely a great aidI use the app with all options since I am an avid reader, and if if I don't understand a word, I can't get the full benefit of what I'm trying to understand!!! Wish I had such a great resource when involved in my high school and college days instead of having to find a book dictionary! Great app!!!! The options thesaurus, encyclopedia, etc. are a great help for "deeper learning". And so convenient!.Norm LVersion: 10.0.6

✓ Fantabulous!!The app is fit for purpose. I am just loving it to use. Pronunciations can be made country specific i.e. US, UK, AUS, IND etc..Pankajsingh.1Version: 7.5.7

✓ Useful AppThis is a great app for brain f:,£, when you can’t get that word out that’s on the tip of your tongue the Thesaurus is greatly needed..Musical Mole DevVersion: 8.5

✓ Amazing app!This app is like having a small dictionary in your back pocket and more! English is not my first language, and having severe dyslexic doesn't help me with my everyday written Communication. This app has been a life changing to me. It would be even better if it helps to correct my punctuation and grammar as well 😜..Quango77Version: 11.4.0

✓ Search not workingSearch shows a list of words matching what’s typed. On selecting desired result, definition for a completely different word is shown. Typing full Word and pressing Search button on keyboard works. As does Voice search. BUT, it’s frustrating to be shown the wrong word when selecting from the results list. Had any reports of this? What’s going on? (Updated to iOS 14 recently). iPhone 8. *** UPDATE. Thanks. All ok following later app. updates. ***.WashingMachineVersion: 8.8.1

✓ The OneThis is the one. Was displeased that paid for the no-ads upgrade on iPad, and iPod/iPhone is a different version where the purchase doesn’t carry over. Found there were two different ones that work here - one with ads you can’t get rid of, and this one that has no ads. Perfect. Thus, this is the one. 😎.SivanteVersion: 11.6.0
