Webster Dictionary & Thesaurus for Negative User Reviews

✓ Please redesign HomepageFor such a renown publication it’s disappointing . Main screen ALWAYS! asking you to invite friends also to rate the app. Plus, space taken up by “Word of the day”, randomly generated & more miss than hit. Today it was “Barbara”, apparently a girls name 🙄. This is also saved for your convenience. 🤪.M. BonaparteVersion: 10.0.12

✓ Word of the dayI thought I would enjoy this but the words are too simple. Words repeat often and ‘cheetah’ comes up at least once a week..Jescap4Version: 10.0.3

✓ Good appGood app. A little hard to control the rolling up and down page on iPhone. 3 stars until it's fixed..Dung Ha 1234Version: 7.4.1

✓ GlitchThe newest iteration cannot be opened, please fix it..Like 7123Version: 10.0.12

✓ Websters should be embarrassedI'm completely embarrassed that I bought this app before reading the reviews. My free Dictionary.com app is FAR superior than this unusable app. And the ridiculous price they're asking!! Webster(if he was a real person) would be rolling over in his grave! I'd give this 0 stars if it would let me!.Mind Nutrition BodyVersion: 7.4.1

✓ Room for improvementIt isn't very user-friendly, and I can't play hangman on my iPad. It could do with a more modern look, especially for the iPhone version. Not worth the cost if you're fussy about interface & games..SireneismoVersion: 5.2.28

✓ Endless naggingReally annoying and repeated reminders to review their product - however the product itself is good.LimboRecoveryVersion: 10.0.3

✓ Comprehensive but simple to useA very good app. Great as a standard dictionary but, it's also a fine thesaurus. Has a neat feature that enables you to tag your favourite words. Update 3 months into using the app... it loses all your favourite words. I must have had 50 - all disappeared. Rating consequently downgraded from 5 to 2.Totius of the SouthVersion: 10.0.12

✓ Word AddictI agree with (except I paid $25 for the App), with Disgruntled Gnostic's, accurate description of this newly revised May 2015, corrupted updated version, as I was also tricked into updating this newly corrupted version. I had previously searched the App Store for all the available dictionaries and chose this one because it appeared far superior to the other dictionaries. I was very happy with my new App, until the new May 2015 update. In the old version I was able to rearrange my saved favorite words, which made it very easy to go back and review those words in an orderly way. That option has now been removed. Previously, there were front and back (left & right) arrows, which made it real easy to navigate back and forth, with the words that I had consecutively searched. That very helpful teaching-tool option (back & forth arrows) has also been removed. The prior version also broke down the definition of words into syllables, in many cases, contain 2 or more bridged-words, which I could "touch",and it would take me to that word. The prior version of this App, also described the word's original (archaic) meaning, its use in present and prior vernacular, and from which language (e.g. Greek,Latin, Old English,German,etc), that word had originated, and the actual word in that foreign language. That also taught me the relationship of the English and to that foreign word, so I learned 2 languages at the same time. I encourage others to write more reviews about this App on this "Reviews" page to encourage the App Co., to bring back the "prior version" (prior to May 2015) and to properly inform the purchasers of this App that it is an "updated & restored version" with an explanation so that we are not again tricked into getting a more "corrupted version" in the future. It is a shame that now we are beginning to trust the internet, they are removing access to the meaning of everything, by getting us to trust previous truthful dictionaries such as this one ( before the May 2015 update), and now "forcing" us to accept the meaning of words which "they" want us to accept as truth, by omission of a word's original meaning and origin..NoreenFiveVersion: 7.4.1

✓ A bit clunkyStill not updated for screen sizes of phones that have been out for more than a year now. The interface is a bit clunky, too. Decreasing the rating, as the app regularly nags for a review, interrupting the train of thought. I did not pay for a dictionary to have it interrupt me rudely..JrychterVersion: 10.0.12

✓ Not good for the latest social media termsAnnoying because keeps asking for a rating. For this reason, I deliberately lower the number of stars to punish Webster.Fair-minded EvaluatorVersion: 10.0.12

✓ Poor productThis dictionary is too simplistic. No audio, poor examples, etc. I was already charged for the trial period! I have requested a refund..LadySails Chesapeake Bay!Version: 10.0.12

✓ Don't buy this dictionary. It is a rip offToday is 6/5/15. I have written this company 7 times after they refused to give me back their pre-May, 2015 version, after I had updated to their current May 2015 version, and they still refuse to deal with my clearly stated issues. I feel cheated by this company to have paid $24.99 for what "was" before, this fabulous previous dictionary. This Company should be prosecuted for bait and switch, and be sued for literary fraud. This current version is a 1984 nightmare in progress of perverting the English language. This most recent updated version changes the meaning of so many words. They have changed all the original meanings that they had under their previous uncorrupted version dictionary. It seems clear from the new meanings of words and their new version, that they are merging all of their cheap and inexpensive garbage dictionaries, into this most expensive previously accurate dictionary (prior to May, 2015), which had contained the true meanings of words since their inception. It appears clear that their intention forward, is to corrupt the English language. This is a conspiracy fact! I speak for all the owners of the previous (prior to May 2015) version to update all of us, which update should give us the dictionary back that we had bargained for and that can truly help us to learn the English language as it was originally intended from its inception..Disgruntled GnosticVersion: 7.4.1

✓ Older version has a better user interfaceThe older version has a better user interface.OneManTwoWomenVersion: 10.0.12

✓ FrustratedHow can I get this app to stop pestering me to provide a five-star rating? After being deluged with requests for reviews, I gave the app a three-star rating, which is what I thought appropriate. But it is back jonesing for the five-star rating. Does anyone know how to make this abomination be quiet and satisfied with what it has been given?.GdunkleyVersion: 8.5.4
