WordReference Dictionary for Negative User Reviews

✓ Some adjustmentsCan you please make so when you open the program it stays on the last dictionary used? Too many steps to look for a a translation: Select favourites Select dictionary Start typing. I made a backup of my phone and restored it but I lost all my favs. Can you please make them stored on iCloud??.Sergey.vVersion: 5.0.3

✓ Best French Dictionary App But …It crashes often. Sad..GlkopsVersion: 5.0.59

✓ This app is confusing and awfulIt doesn’t help it’s hard to use and it’s glitchy i do not recommend..2928192829182Version: 5.0.59

✓ Dark mode, please.White background was only ever made to simulate what it would look like printed on to paper but we’re not going to be printing any of this so there’s no need to blast our eyes out with unnecessary light..Vindictive vagabondVersion: 5.0.28

✓ Has potentialI’m confused why each translation of a word doesn’t provide an example sentence and translation. Many times it only shows the example sentence in English. How is this supposed to help me if I can’t to see the word in context in the other language? Sometimes there’s no example sentence at all. It also doesn’t have pronunciation options for my target language, only for English. Why not add pronunciation for every language? The design is also not the most user friendly, and it’s buggy and crashes somewhat frequently. I would love to see some updates, or if someone could explain if I’m missing something about why there aren’t always example sentence translations..Aly1256Version: 5.0.27

✓ Broken, Compared to the Website...The favourite dictionary section is a welcome addition, but the app now only allows lookup of single words, NOT phrases. For example, I was looking for a translation of the phrase 'tenir tête à qn'. The website would list the definitions for 'tenir', 'tête', etc. Then, at the bottom, you would get 'Forum Entries Containing 'tenir tête à'. If you enter the phrase, this app only lists the entry for the first word in the phrase, 'tenir' and only forum entries for 'tenir', resulting in a severe downgrading of this app's useability. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible, since this app is now useless for looking up expressions in colloquial French..Tim DanaherVersion: 5.0.0

✓ Bad updateThis update did not fix anything that was wrong with the earlier version because NOTHING WAS WRONG with it! This new version presents the same home screen every time it opens and then requires at least two selections before one can begin a search. Never mind that you previously designated your language as a favorite, you still need to go from home to favorites and reselect it every time you open the app. Kind of defeated the ease of what used to be a quick and streamlined way to find a great translation solution. I strongly recommend against installing the new version..RobbstnVersion: 5.0.1

✓ No longer worksI loved this app and used it for years. But it has stopped working. Very disappointed..MoongoggleVersion: 5.0.28

✓ Best dictionary; a few defectsBest dictionary on the web for English - Spanish! notable defects: (1) - it’s extremely difficult to copy text (to paste in another app). You can select the text, but it’s almost impossible to see which text you’ve highlighted. This is because the highlighting is almost invisible/ fully transparent (not shaded like in every other app). So when you click “copy,” you may or may not be copying what you hope to copy. (2) - it’s difficult to make a definition a “favorite” so you can look it up later. You can add a yellow star, but it’s almost impossible to distinguish the faint yellow of the star with the white background, so you won’t really know if you’ve starred it unless you have amazing vision. Also, if you click on a link within a definition (eg to see another definition), the app will take you quickly to that other definition, but you won’t be able to add a star to it. To add a star, you have to manually re-type the word again to look it up again, and only then will you be able to add the star (which is almost invisible anyway - see above). (3) you can’t export your favorites, assuming you succeed in making them (see above)..333M333Version: 5.0.38

✓ I do not know how to useI do not know haw to use.PopolopiolkioVersion: 5.0.48

✓ MehIt was good but always ask me if I’m a robot and makes me do the little click the squares with this but it’s unclear and takes forever.JustsomeoneyoullneverknowVersion: 5.0.19

✓ Too slow to depend upon.Not sure what has changed. This app was once reliable but now it is totally defunct ... won’t respond. When I type in a word ... niente!.ItaliancrapVersion: 5.0.28

✓ SlowIt takes so long to fine words and it is not good if you need it fast.APOLLO1234567898Version: 5.0.28

✓ Website is greatThis app needs some serious work. stalls when opening and entering a few characters, have to force quit. no night mode. color palette doesn’t work well with nightshift. highlighting text is invisible. the verb part of an entry often does not load properly or at all, just a blank area with scroll bars. favorites/stars are not shared on the main site. search is not intelligent at all and often phrases have to be exactly the same with [qch] or [qqn] in the write infinitive form to return results for idioms/phrases.Zephyr707Version: 5.0.34

✓ My eyesAdd a dark mode pls my eyes are being sizzled like eggs on a hot pan....The_Bot_2Version: 5.0.27

✓ So annoying!When i ask for a word, i have to search for a billion years to find it in those long examples! If the app showed you the word on the top with big letters , it would have been better. My teacher forces me to use it for French 😭.Kami la laVersion: 5.0.27

✓ Doesn’t allow me to see definitionsThe app doesn’t allow me to see the definitions of words that I type into the search bar. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app multiple times, but it still doesn’t show word definitions. Please fix this bug!.Adahope15Version: 5.0.59

✓ Long time web user disappointedWordReference has had an excellent website for years. I'd gladly pay for an app that even reflected the approach used in that web design and content. While I realize an app can't do everything a desktop can, we have come a long way. Some things about this are just not even intuitive. Like if I want to translate the English of "where" to the Russian of the word, I can see it... But the listen function plays the audio of how to pronounce only the English. Users are going back and forth presumably to gain knowledge of another language so there should be an easy way to link to the one you are looking up and hear it. I need this and can't make it work. Hopefully that's just me being inept. I really loved the website for years and would like a more robust and functionally suitable app. I'd pay for it..EMarieNYCVersion: 5.0.6

✓ Excellent app but...Absolutely excellent using a laptop. Sadly this is not a great transfer to mobile. Text is small and cramped and right up to the screen edge. Landscape is better but then you are stuck with a horizontal scroll to see everything. Seems like a straight html transfer just hiding some components. It is worh more than this and I would happily pay more for a decent and proper mobile version..Yellow SwordfishVersion: 5.0.27

✓ Still having internet connectivity issuesI love this app in general.. Love the new start page with all the languages provided.. Still a great layout.. However each time I type a letter, it continually says that internet connectivity is needed for this app and I have to keep hitting the retry button after entering each letter. It would also be helpful if the back button was reverted back to its old use.. To clear out the entire search snd start a new one. Instead, now it is used as a backspace button, which i can see the benefits to.. But I just simply think it was better as it was before. Overall a great app, however my connectivity issues have not been resolved..TieworthVersion: 5.0.2

✓ Love WR, hate the updateWR is one of my favorite websites. I use it multiple times a day. While I'm glad WR got a release of their new apps bug free so that it is functioning again, it still isn't a good update. Previous versions, I could open up the app and go back to the dictionaries I used last. Now every time I open it, it comes to "All Dictionaries" then I have to click on "favorites" and then choose one for example "English to French", before I can start my search. So the app just made 3 unnecessary steps to seek a word, where I used to just open it and start typing my query. It's almost easier to just keep a browser tab open to their mobile site. Hopefully this will get fixed soon..J BeauVersion: 5.0.1

✓ Horrible new update killed the appYour new update has removed the ability to search the forums and threads... What gives ? That is one of the most useful features of wordreference and now I am obligated to open up the original website on my browser and use that instead. the app is now simply a very limited dictionary app, which I may not even both to open since I already have an excellent dictionary downloaded on my phone. There are additional annoyances appearing with this update, and the worst is the inability to tap any word on the screen to go to that word's definition page. Again, why would you remove the very features that made that had made this a powerful, intuitive, intelligent, and robust tool? LAME and for language learners who have lived and sworn by this app... TRAGIC..CookiedotVersion: 5.0.0

✓ AdsPlease lose the ads - they get in the way.InksplotchVersion: 5.0.18

✓ Needs dark modeWould be better with dark mode capabilities.Chloe.723Version: 5.0.28

✓ App crash on iPhoneVery good vocabulary but Unfortunately the app crash often with iPhone and you just need to resent it. Very annoying..Mario 22.01.16Version: 5.0.28

✓ Fantastic but...No pay option to remove annoying ad banner??.MenioMercinaVersion: 5.0.24

✓ Obliterated by adsI have been using this app for several years and have recommended it to dozens of people in our language classes. It is still the best dual language dictionary, but for several months now it is plagued by an insistent banner ad that covers the top part of the definition. The ad cannot be removed without going through several steps, supplying a reaction ("inappropriate", "already bought it", etc.) and then waiting for it to fade slowly into the background. The system does not learn from user feed back. I bought the ad-free version a few years back and enjoyed it. That version was cancelled, and now we're back to a cluttered interface that is so greedy to interrupt one's experience that it ruins an otherwise great program. I'm now recommending other good programs to our students..CJGSacCAVersion: 5.0.4

✓ GjrfiwhfiwebfiwbfThis is bad.EwgfwgfwVersion: 5.0.22

✓ RaninleighI'm finding this version confusing. Where are the verb conjugations? Originally they were at the bottom of the page. Maybe I am missing something.....very confusing when you are studying..RaninleighVersion: 4.0.5

✓ THIS APP SUCKS AND ITS AMAZINGTHIS APP IS AMAZING DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT IT IS BAD BAD ABD BAD SO GOOD NOT GLICHY AT ALL.Mkbyeeee🥲✌️🧡Version: 5.0.59

✓ What have you done???Your app was fantastic and you ruined it! And this since you added the paid ads to it. Have you run any tests before releasing it? Internet connectivity error. And now the search doesn't go anywhere. This is ridiculous. Your hunger for money destroyed your business..ZaguedVersion: 5.0.2

✓ IncompleteCan you imagine this. The app does not give you the conjugation of être!! Pretty important word to neglect. UPDATE: It does, if you can figure out how to get to it. For MOST verbs, if you look up the French verb and see the English definitions, you are looking at the top-left tab: French-English. If you click the top-right tab: French Verbs, you get the full conjugation. But not for être. While viewing the English definitions, if you scroll to very near the bottom of the page, you find a link, in French, that gets you to the conjugation. I know the app is free, but really. It isn’t what I would want as an example of the quality of my work..Frank FazzioVersion: 5.0.21

✓ Bad updateThe app was otherwise perfect before this latest update. I use the app pretty much everyday, so it has really come to be an inconvenience. Now the app opens to a list of all available language options which is silly since it's rather unnecessary. I would imagine most would be using the app for one or two preferred languages, so the current system adds a needless step to the mix. Most annoyingly, however, the search engine no longer allows me to research more than one word which is just simply ridiculous. I most often use the app to do a quick search for phrases and expressions (for which WR is an excellent source especially with its forums) but now I am forced to go online to search for anything more than just one word. They would do well to resolve these issues since at the moment using the web is actually less of a hassle..LeVieuxChagrinVersion: 5.0.1

✓ Used to be goodJust freezes up all the time now on my ipad, shame because it was my favourite language app, pointless having it now.Charlieboy5678Version: 5.0.59

✓ DeadWorst app so glitchy never using it dont download..Just.GioVersion: 5.0.59

✓ EvolutionMore of more.NinjaXYX27Version: 5.0.22

✓ Do NOT updateI love WR & I use it on a daily basis. The latest update is COMPLETELY non-functioning. Not just slow or inconvenient (although even it worked, that would still be true). I mean it literally is broken. I typed in a word & hit search & timed it with a stop watch. After 45 seconds of doing nothing, it finally pulled up the search suggestions, and it didn’t even take me to the definition until I clicked on the word in the suggestions. It’s a radical redesign from the previous version, it has a new layout that is more app-ish. I’m sure (at least, I hope) they’re still working on it will be drastically improved with future updates. But all the same, what were you thinking, app designers? This thing isn’t ready for the app store. It’s not even ready for beta testing. This isn’t just a few glitches here and there, it LITERALLY DOESN’T WORK. I’m very disappointed..WhicheryVersion: 5.0.0

✓ Helpful. But ugly and inefficientIt’s very helpful. Yet it’s inn efficient to type out when you have google translate. App layout is also ugly. 3 🌟 is good for this app..@Shitty_NHLVersion: 5.0.22

✓ Connectivity issuesYes internet connectivity request still comes up. Even with the latest version :(.DovirgoVersion: 5.0.2

✓ UPDATE ! Content good but crashes/freezesI use this app as my main dictionary (Italian/English): it’s great for looking up words, finding example sentences, conjugations, etc. And all for free! Unfortunately, it isn’t working as it was anymore. It is in serious need of an update!! It usually freezes and crashes straight away. Opening it a second time works better but it’s very annoying..ManjadeVersion: 5.0.28

✓ The app became too slow to use!I can't believe they changed this useful app to a really slow one! Before the app was really simple and fast, now you have to select and click a lot of things before to find the space where you can write the word that you are looking for! I've been using this app and I'm thinking to remove it, just I'm waiting a bit hoping that they will change it again to the old version or simply one!! Please do it!! Thanks!!.GghgdbjVersion: 5.0.2

✓ AWFUL UPDATE!!I live in a foreign country and used to use word reference on a daily basis to help me with simple translations. But ever since this last update I haven't been able to use the application at all! First of all, the new user interface is awful and absolutely not convenient at all. It used to open up automatically in the language I needed and now it no longer does that. But what's most annoying is that it constantly keeps telling me I need internet access to use the application even though I am always connected to wifi!! So even if I did get over the annoying new user interface, the app is literally impossible to use. Such a disappointment!.Jte1024Version: 5.0.1

✓ Another bugA while back it was working perfectly, but now there's another issue with favorite terms ... apparently the older ones go away as you add more. Each person should be allowed to add as many favorite terms as they like. There shouldn't be any limits. Other than that it's useful. I had to use iExplorer and iMazing on my laptop to recover the missing terms from previous backups. Please fix this bug..Big Picture PersonVersion: 5.0.14

✓ Best Dictionary - but too glitchyThis is by far the best international language dictionary out there. I use it for English - Italian and find the word choices and translations very clear and useful to identify the right word. However…every so often the app just stops working. I am using iPhone 10 and the latest version of the app. The app opens, but then nothing, no response - I can’t even type into the search bar. So great dictionary - bad app..GrowserVersion: 5.0.57

✓ Half starIt bad like super bad like worse than apple and google trnslate is beter.Didmsomeonetak.Version: 5.0.22

✓ Is there a paid version?I like this for helping with my French course but the little ad at the bottom of the screen is ANNOYING. It can’t be removed even if I dutifully go to the ad site which happens if I try to click the tiny ‘x’ to remove it. It also frequently freezes my screen so I can’t scroll down. Please tell me if I can buy an ad-free version!.JJ£&€Version: 5.0.20

✓ LimitationsThis is useful but has limitations, especially with examples of words in sentences. More attention should be paid in these to demonstrating dependent prepositions, for example. And I have trouble from time to time with the screen locking, or going grey, with no response. Frustrating!.Appassionata1Version: 5.0.27

✓ Needs developmentThis seems to be the full website rather than an app being made suitable for tablets and phones. A lot of advertising, and whilst I realise this is how they make a profit, unfortunately it has a detrimental effect on the user's experience, and is far from subtle. The large adverts make the app difficult to use, as the user is frequently accidentally pressing these adverts instead of whatever they wish to select. Freezes frequently. Does not fit the screen correctly, so the user either has a partial view of the window; or alternatively all of the window whereby the text is then far too small to read clearly. In summary Word Reference is still a useful tool for translators and linguists, however the app could be greatly improved by overcoming a few formatting and presentation difficulties..GinaG.785Version: 3.0.2

✓ App No Longer WorksI have been using word reference for years since I am a university level language student. Up until the past month I haven't been able to use it due to the "app requires internet connectivity" message that appears when I open the app and when I type a letter, I have deleted and redownloaded the app and updated it and still the bug has not been fixed so I consequently discourage people from using this faulty app.BarnaclebeansVersion: 5.0.2

✓ It used to be one of my most used apps...Until this last update. The addition of adds is annoying, but I can handle that. What I don't like is the new schematic that takes longer to navigate (as opposed to originally to the dictionary search right away, one has to now search for the dictionary they want to use each time). Also, ever since the update, the app has been crashing more and just randomly freezing up when I search, which diminishes the usefulness of the app. It was one of my favorite apps, but now I may need to look elsewhere if it keeps being freezing up this..Pepper manVersion: 5.0.0

✓ Miss old oneThe last version was perfect. The one has errors and won't let me search variations of words..Aggie.szVersion: 5.0.3

✓ Doesn't Work After UpdateBefore I updated the app, it was perfect. It let me do what I needed to do, translate words. But now after updating to the "new design", it keeps telling me that I need to be connected to the internet to use the app. I've tried using multiple different networks, which includes my LTE, but it still keeps telling me the same thing. When I hit retry, it goes away until I type just one letter into the search bar, then it just pops up again telling me to get on a network. Again, it does this for every. Single. Letter. And it gets so annoying. I can see the app working since it gives me results after each letter I type behind the alert, but it's making things so unnecessarily slow. I'd really appreciate it if this problem were fixed..Gabriella BarnesVersion: 5.0.0

✓ Forum questionsGood app, though I’m recently having problems with opening threads of forum answers at the bottom of a page. I’m not sure if this is a bug. Also suggest that the app add a function that allows new postings to the forum..Neige*.Version: 5.0.25

✓ Cool appThis app is cool.Aleeza…..jilaniVersion: 5.0.22

✓ Awful. Too hard to use and too complicatedToo hard to use. Too complicated.Bek1234Version: 5.0.14

✓ New version has problems!I've been using the WordReference as my go-to dictionary as I've been learning Spanish. The most recent update changed the design of the app, which usually doesn't bother me, except for the fact that the app no longer remembers my last dictionary used if I close the app. I have to reopen the Spanish-English dictionary every time. It adds about 10 seconds to every search, when before I could search for a term in 2-3. I wish it would default to the last-used or even most-used dictionary. Also, any search that uses and accent (á, é, í, ó, ú) doesn't work. It won't even search for the term, even though it appears in the recommended searches when you fill in a couple letters. Also, adds are more noticeable and obtrusive on this version, which is probably why it isn't as fast. You can remove them for 4.99 EACH YEAR. I used to love this app. I hope some changes are made or I'll have to find something else. I don't recommend using this right now..IwstraderVersion: 5.0.0

✓ Doesn’t properly switch between translation and verbsSuper frustrating when I try to switch to look at verbs the screen doesn’t change and that’s the whole reason I got this app 😡 please fix.Peanutbutter1388!Version: 5.0.28

✓ DisappearedThe app icon disappeared and I have to open through App Store. Why?.LMR765Version: 5.0.28

✓ DownloadingIt’s a great app if your on wifi, but you should be able to download your favourite dictionaries in the app, even if you have to watch an add.I want downloadingVersion: 5.0.22

✓ WordRefrence Itself Gets 7 StarsThe dictionary—the way it is always in progress and professionally moderated—the large and hungry board community, make it almost the only tool you need for learning. It is missing an aspect however, as it provides no way for us to take what it showed us and put it in long-term memory. They main website at least has the lists area, even though it still provides no way to drill those words other than clicking through the list. They could enable exporting to .xml which you can import to Quizlet and Anki. It’s up to them to figure out how people can choose the definitions that they want to study. I am also giving them a lower score for their design that hasn’t been updated since the 90s. It would be cool if they let the community vote on it..Another Language TeacherVersion: 5.0.20

✓ The information is excellent. The app is frustratingI used this for Spanish and it has been extremely useful in figuring out the little nuances in word choice, where the same word can be wildly different things in the various Latin American countries and Spain. I Literally it helps even to navigate discussion about emotions in a cross-cultural relationship where not every feeling translates 1:1. I just wish the app was better. It crashes, if I click on one word from the definition I can't just swipe back to the last page, I have to start the search all over again each time. And, there is no option to download sections for offline use. This would be really helpful when you're traveling abroad and data is spotty. For this, I recommend Linguee. Also, if you're looking for more examples of the word in a sentence, that Linguee app basically pulls the context for J le a word gets used in real articles online..Lydie43Version: 5.0.34

✓ TrashDo not download this app I think google translate is wayyyy better and with this app you can only fondle out what one word at a time means it’s just to much I don’t like it it’s a wast of my storage on my phone I it just takes so long to find what the word means complete trash I used this for French and it took me so long to complete. Bro I’m telling you know don’t get this use google translate.HavenkynevaehVersion: 5.0.28

✓ AdsIt doesn't need the ads on the bottom and I find them annoying especially when your trying to do homework..CDplayer97Version: 2.0.2

✓ Not FunctioningAs a language teacher, I’ve recommended WordReference to my students throughout the years as the best option for translation. This is still true for the website, but the app is simply broken. After entering a word to be translated, nothing shows up. Before writing this review I tried to report a the problem through the link in the app and it didn’t function. Please fix this great app’.Tiger_LiliumVersion: 5.0.59

✓ It stopped working on iPhone 8This is my favourite dictionary. I use it regularly on desktop and it was very handy and quick to have it on my iPhone 8. Then it stopped working. It lets me write in the search bar but it doesn’t show any suggestion or anything else, even after pressing enter. Just a white page. For any dictionary available. I tried to reinstall the app several times and always hope a new update will fix the problem. It didn’t so far..Penn[a]sferaVersion: 5.0.28

✓ SlowThe dictionary itself is beyond reproach. It is an amazing resource. But why is the app sooooo slow?! The website is always fast and it can't be loading more than a few bytes of data per search. It's extremely frustrating!!.ChamullarVersion: 5.0.9

✓ Why the update?This app used to work brilliantly and was 5/5 stars. Then someone decided it needed an update and now it doesn't work..WrighaVersion: 5.0.0

✓ Love WR, But App Glitches Often…I love Word Reference and have used it for a long time, but am finally about to find a new foreign language dictionary app…. Often upon opening it, it won’t let me type in the search bar and and I have to open and close it multiple times before it works. Sometimes I can type a few letters before it freezes. It’s really frustrating when living in a foreign country or traveling and just wanting to quickly look a word up.Chilaquiles111Version: 5.0.48

✓ This app is now broken after last update.When the app first came out it was not much use, and only the website allowed access to all the great features ofWR. Then the app was improved and I used it almost daily. However, with the latest update it is completely broken and simply crashes before any search can be completed. So it's back to the website if I want to use WR. Can you please either fix the app or revert to the older version, which seemed to work fine! Very disappointing!.JrtdickVersion: 5.0.3

✓ ABSOLUTLEY HATE THE NEW UPGRADEThis upgrade is AWFUL!! I'm studying Spanish and French and university so this app used to be a life saver I used it all the way through A LEVEL but now it seems to not be able to connect to the Internet when I am connected and every other app has no problem with my internet connection!! Why was the need to upgrade it, it looks awful as well!! Bring back the old app!! I'm so annoyed now I have to go onto the actual webpage till you guys do something about this! It was working fine until this upgrade - I'm so annoyed, I'm in the middle of doing work as well!.Baby#1 TiaVersion: 5.0.0

✓ Not Working ProperlyThis app translates English to Chinese, but refuses to translate Chinese to English. Furthermore, it only lets you listen to the English word which you input, but will not play the translated word in Chinese, which is a main reason for wanting to use the app. Another big deficiency is that the app can only handle single words, and no short phrases, such as 'electric motor' 'this evening' or 'light blue'. These shortcomings make the app essentially useless for my needs. Google is far more capable, in almost every way. Even a pocket dictionary performs better than this app, because a book can translate to and from Chinese, and has short phrases. So, as it stands, 1 star for giving Chinese printed translation, and no stars for anything else. Deleted, pending major improvements in the app..G0mrbVersion: 5.0.28

✓ Used to be great - Doesn't work now!So, the new design looks great, but it doesn't work! Every time you type a single letter into the search bar it tells you that you need connection to Internet, press retry and you can type another letter before it comes up again. Renders the app unusable. Such a shame from a previously amazing app, that now has an even better design. Fix this!!!!.Señor12727227166252527181Version: 5.0.0

✓ Autocomplete list is a blank black rectangle!Please fix!.TOEFL TeacherVersion: 5.0.23

✓ TerribleThis app used to be excellent, as an interpreter I found it quite useful, I was able to look for words even compounds or expressions and the translation would come up, even if it was from the forum. This doesn't happen anymore, when you type in more than a word, the app is unable to return a result. Also it is not able to recognise which language you typed and whenever you open it you have to go through the list of languages which is extremely annoying. Please revert it to the previous version. Update: now it crashes every time I try to use it. Please fix it..Blanche DownVersion: 5.0.3

✓ Conjugation troublesI tried to see all the different conjugations for verbs, but it wouldn’t let me see them because it is “restricted” I tried to delete the app and try again, but that didn’t work either. I tried online too and still nothing. In the past it worked perfectly fine, and this app has helped me a lot in the past. I hope that this can be fixed because I love the app so much!.No more?!Version: 5.0.22

✓ Hangs constantlyGreat content, but hangs constantly. Very irritating. Surely it can be fixed..AndrewM1996Version: 5.0.28

✓ Update worseI just updated to the latest version today, and the drop down menu that appears when one starts typing in a word (in the previous version a list of possible words would appear in the drop down) is blacked out, and all one can see is a black section on a white background, instead of a list of possible words/definitions.

✓ Worst version yetGood grief what have you done? You've taken half of the screen real estate and wasted it completely. I'm on an iPhone 5 - I imagine anyone still stuck with a 4S can't even see the actual dictionary any more.. And the expanding header when scrolling is jarring. Worst UX ever done on this otherwise incredibly useful app. Please reconsider or at least let us pay to remove that forsaken ad banner!!!.Matt082Version: 5.0.2

✓ Login option for those of us who pay for itShame there's no login option for those who are registered and pay a yearly fee to support word reference and want to use it as free.SonicthebadgerVersion: 5.0.16
