SCRABBLE Dictionary for Negative User Reviews

Frustrating!!!!Valid game words but not found in this dictionary!!!! Needs improvement!.Version: 2.0.5

App Fix Suggestions1) Change keyboard to QWERTY! 2) Add a clear or reset button after you click “Find Words” so you don’t have to click edit each time! The. THIS WOULD MAKE IT 5 STARS!!!.Version: 2.0.7

See review titled "CHANGE"Fix the annoying coverup of the space where you enter a word. It is a simple problem since in the older app it was not happening. Send out the bug fix or I will not buy or recommend this app to anyone..Version: 2.0.5

Why no update?The paperback is updated regularly. Why isnt this since 2018? 2014? Works fine otherwise..Version: 2.0.7

Just wrongI just bought this app, and tried to look up two unusual words played by the computer in the Scrabble app. In the playable word list in the game. Not found in the dictionary app. Looked them up *on the free Merriam-Webster web site,* and there they were! Not archaic. Not foreign. Not in the app. Legal. "Official" dictionary?!? I want my money back..Version: 2.0.5

Lack of definitionsThis dictionary has the words but is horrible at providing the meaning. For example, for kicks, I typed the word “pet”. All I found was that this is a verb, and I meant “to caress with the hand”. So is “pet” not an animal kept as a companion? I abhor this dictionary. What a rip-off!!!.Version: 2.0.7

Update this app!Lots of functional problems. It has not been updated in nearly 21/2 years!.Version: 2.0.5

FraudulentDoes not include all words without a ~$20/year third party subscription, unless you already are a professional scrabble player with a tournament membership. Useless app, I want a refund..Version: 2.0.7

DissapointingVery disappointed in this dictionary. For $5 I thought it would have everything but it has limited definitions, I mean how do you learn a word if it doesn't tell you what it means? I typed in "fanga" and it gave me "noun - fanega", that's it, and you then have to type in "fanega" to find out what that means. It's only after you buy this that it tells you in its description it isn't a "full dictionary". So essentially they slap the word "Scrabble" on it and charge you a premium price. Their cheaper dictionary seems to have everything this one is missing..Version: 1.0.2

Where is 'AA'?A rough, cindery lava..Version: 1.1

Update Needed!It doesn’t keep what I’ve entered when I return from Scrabble Game as it had before. It’s now continually malfunctioning. I’m no longer a fan until they fix that with an update. I’ll cross my fingers that that’ll happen soon. Thank you..Version: 2.0.7

Form uniteWish I hadn't bought it. Waste of money. Don't like the noise. Although not necessary for Scrabble, it's always nice to know what words mean. It helps to remember them so disappointed meanings not included..Version: 1.1

AnnoyedStill lots of bugs in this app. Sometimes it asks me over and over to log in when I've just logged in! Very frustrating!!! Some words are French yet some English words are not accepted. Makes me want to delete app and play a different game!.Version: 1.1

Good to have the Scrabble Dic on phoneBut the app didn't take opportunity to fix the flaws in the book version: if you look up a word you don't know, the definition given is often another single word you don't know. WITH NO LINK TO THE NEW WORD! Why!?.Version: 2.0.5

Would have given it 4 more stars butIt has not been updated for IOS 11, and will simply stop working. The company seems to have abandonned us..Version: 2.0.5

Official Scrabble Players dictionaryApp no longer loads or is usable after the iOS 11 software update..Version: 2.0.5

Ending in ????Dictionary is missing section, words that end in?????.Version: 1.1

My feedbackI really only use this when I am not on line to use the scrabble word finder there the biggest issue is only 8 letters in word finder I would not recommend this app.Version: 1.1

Very poor dictionary componentThis is more like a list of words without accurate or complete definitions. For $5 this was a rip-off. One would expect more from Miriam-Webster, so I am especially disillusioned. These folks have the information, so why not include thoughtful definitions of the words covered? The first two words I looked up had no definitions at all. Really unexpected and disappointing..Version: 2.0.5

App is not well maintainedI have been receiving messages from iOS for months about this app's incompatibility with the newer iOS and that it may cause problems with battery life, etc. No update available... Today I was prompted that the developers must update the app as it will be incompatible with future iOS versions. I assume that means it will not run at all. Glad I paid money for something I will not be able to use..Version: 2.0.5

So, so disappointed...I thought this was a whole dictionary of scrabble words that I could look at and study but it’s more of a cheat. Wasted money..Version: 2.0.7

Play with friends hangs on attempt to loginI'm constantly losing the games I play with my mother (friend) because scrabble UA doesn't understand "login" to Facebook. There is no login on ipad - facebook opens in another app automatically. So the scrabble program attempting to parse a login protocol doesn't work. Totally frustrating. Don't you test your protocols????.Version: 2.0.5

UI/UX mistakes, lacking featuresAs a former tournament player and current club player, I have had a lot of experience with different dictionary and study apps. There are a number of notable user interface and/or user experience mistakes in this app. The biggest being the use of an alpha-ordered soft keyboard instead of the far more common and, now, far more natural QWERTY layout. At times, "back" goes a step, or more, further back than you'd expect. Missing features list is too long to totally list, but a few things: pattern search, common word lists, study features, and on and on....Version: 2.0.5

Not up to date!The latest Scrabble Dictionary book edition is #6. This app is #5, so it is not current. Some words in the Scrabble Dictionary book are not found in the app..Version: 2.0.7

DisappointedI need to know words that end with a letter and no place for that. Why not?.Version: 2.0.7

Scrabble dictionary app.Ok at best. Voice recognition poor, answers in word search should be in capitals as scrabble tiles are, would be nice if it had a 7 letter anagram feature instead of all words as an option..Version: 1.0.1

Word list is out of dateReally? How hard is it to update the word list?.Version: 2.0.7

DisappointedI'm a little triggered by this app. I thought I was getting an ebook of sorts, of the scrabble dictionary, one I could peruse to learn new words. But you can only search for words, which is a little annoying. For a few dollars more I could have bought the scrabble dictionary for my kindle app. I wish I had done that..Version: 2.0.5

Letters disappearI like the app. Easy to use. But now, every time I switch from this app to another, all the letters inout in are lost! I have to continuously re-enter. Very irritating and not worth the time any more..Version: 2.0.7

Useless and frustratingNon intuitive. No way to get help with login. Tournament mode exposes all words. No option to check just played word..Version: 2.0.5

No maintenanceBeen getting messages since iOS 9 that the app can slow down my phone and needed updating. The publisher has done nothing. As of iOS 10 I removed it from my iPhone. I would hope that at some point, Apple will take this down to protect future buyers..Version: 2.0.5

Not very usefulThere are better free apps than this for scrabble. It only allows to put 8 tiles which is not sufficient most of the times while you are looking for a solution for your scrabble game..Version: 1.1

Needs to be updated for XS ModelsThis is a nice app but definitely needs to be updated for larger screen iPhones. App content looks unusually large like scaled up iPhone apps on an iPad..Version: 2.0.7

FlawedInefficient to use. Also, words often have no definition or information..Version: 2.0.5

Bad displayCannot use it with the bad display. Very uncomfortable. Deleted it already and I don’t know why I cannot have my refund. It’s waste of money, don’t recommend it..Version: 2.0.6

Missing all functionality of paper copy.This app blows. $4.99 and you can’t even browse the dictionary! I was expecting to be able to read through the list of words like the paper copy of Scrabble dictionary and learn new words and their definitions. Also, it is missing the section of two letter words. You can only look up words with the search function..Version: 2.0.7

Could use an update for usabilityEvery single word in this dictionary should be visible on the app... Bit of a cop out to give us a link to the dictionary website for the more uncommon words- i paid for this! I'd love an "acceptable"/"unacceptable" feature to searched words a la word checker. Think about how this app can be used best during a challenge, and please design it to match that need!.Version: 2.0.5

Future updates??I use this AP all the time playing Scrabble at home. However, I am concerned about messages I keep receiving from Apple regarding the impending IOS 11 update. This 32 bit APP will need to be updated to run on the new platform. Any word yet on an update???.Version: 2.0.5

Poor Definitions; no updated vocabulary/data ctionaryBesides winning at Scrabble, I would like to improve my vocabulary. However, words are often defined by the same word you are asking about. This is particularly true when the word is a variation on another word and the original definition is never given. This is frustrating. Other times, definitions are simplistic and inane. Overall, I wish the “official” scrabble dictionary was a bit more comprehensive/sophisticated. I cannot load an updated Scrabble app on my iPad mini. I have three of them in n right now. The one I had lost the “best word” Character. I deleted that after four years and cannot reload it. No game has current word list. No viable help from EA. I’m sick about this software!.Version: 2.0.7

Family SharingI recently got a Scrabble Dictionary app on my iPhone but not able to share it to my wife’s iPhone. That’s one reason I bought it. I read that there’s a Family Sharing, so why I am not able to do so? I emailed you but I was told I am not recognized. Trying to reach you seemed complicated..Version: 2.0.7

Update neededDecember 2015 - new words accepted by game not included in Scrabble dictionary!.Version: 2.0.5

Needs pronunciation and use in a sentenceI like the "word finder" ability, but for the obscure (2 letter) words wish you could hear pronunciation and see it used in a sentence. Also interesting to see which slang or colloquial words were included/ excluded.Version: 2.0.5

Love this app - Please update for 64bit iOSI use it regularly with my Scrabble meetup and would like continue to use it when iOS 11 is available. Please update to 64 bit if for no other reason than to make the warning go away..Version: 2.0.5

Needs updatingThere are number of words that you can use in Scrabble that are not showing up on the word finder. Very frustrating!.Version: 2.0.5

Absolute garbage, total ripoffFor starters, the first time that I opened the app, a message appeared telling me that the developer must update it to prevent it from slowing down the entire iPhone. Then I went to use it. There are many many "words" that have absolutely no definitions whatever. As these are words that I had never heard before, I went to other dictionaries to find out what they mean - I couldn't locate them anywhere!.Version: 2.0.5

DisappointedI wanted the equivalent of the paper version, which I can browse. The description says there is a scrolling index that lets you do that, but I can’t find it. Also, this is out of date, so it is a rip-off. Where is the sixth edition? I think I should get a free upgrade when it comes out..Version: 2.0.7

Can it really be this bad?I assumed other reviewers were just being picky. Wrong. Poorly designed, non-intuitive -- a total waste of money. Even common words are missing. Would definitely like my money back, but I guess that's not going to happen..Version: 2.0.5

ChangeToday while playing I would search for a word then when I wanted to erase the word and search for another it covered up where I normally push the X to erase the word then enter the new word I'm checking. VERY FRUSTRATING!.Version: 2.0.5
