Terminology Dictionary for Negative User Reviews

✓ In-app ad shakedownApp was a paid ad-free app, developer updated to include in-app advertising that is distasteful and intrusive. Requires in-app purchase to remove advertising. Effecting a shakedown of existing purchasers of their old app in order to force a paid upgrade to a new version is a 🍆 move (Tried to use Terminology to find an appropriately descriptive word here but couldn't bear using it after fourth full screen ad). I'm looking for an alternative paid-app where the developer treats customers better..DhebxhxushVersion: 4.0.6

✓ Maybe start adding words ..Some words are not in the app, such as inbreathing. I had to go to the internet to look it up, which defeats the purpose of having the app..NurseChapel119Version: 4.4.4

✓ Not what I expectedI was hoping for a nice minimalist, highly powerful dictionary, but all I got was an over simplified word search engine. I guess if you're someone who likes to store certain words to view later, this app makes sense. But as a dictionary, it doesn't offer great definitions or thesaurus options..MedwechukVersion: 3.0.3

✓ Redundant, full of adsJust pull down from the home screen and type your word in the search bar. Apple’s result from the system Dictionary never has ads..DotHTMVersion: 4.1.4

✓ DodgyAdded advertising to the paid app with an update, and charges paid users to remove adds. Very, very dodgy..Martindk72Version: 4.0.9

✓ Be careful. Buy pro and he’s likely to switch to subscription modelBe careful. Buy pro and he’s likely to switch to subscription model and you’ll lose your investment..G77777777777777777!Version: 4.2.0

✓ Universal, but Caveat EmptorThis is all you need for word research. However, if you bought it originally like me, you now have it as Free with ads. This is just rotten behavior. Loyal customers screwed. Won't be buying again from this team..StukeVersion: 4.3.1

✓ Can’t adjust volume iPhone XRCan’t adjust volume in the app to actually hear the pronunciation of a word. My phone’s ringer is the only thing that adjusts when the app is open. Please fix this!.11Sage11Version: 4.4.4

✓ Ads in paid version……I don't think so!!! I paid for this app to remove ads, and now they're back, unless I pay again. Appalling treatment, disgraceful behaviour. Deleting, I'd rather use a paper dictionary than support this kind of app!.Peterw42Version: 4.0.5

✓ Adverts, when I’ve already paid in fullI bought this at full price. It was clean and worked well. But now it has adverts and you have to pay for a pro upgrade. How is this not a bait and switch ? When other devs do this they have the courtesy of grand fathering in the early, paying customers. It’s actually not even about the money - it’s the principal..Ec1vVersion: 4.1.4

✓ Not Accurate {read: dishonest?}The definitions are not sourced from a sober reliable source like Merriam-Webster or Oxford. They come from Princeton University’s WordNet Lexical database. The words in this database are written by WordNet’s lexicographers—BIASED lexicographers perhaps. If you read definitions for words like “progressive” or “conservative” and then compare those definitions and synonyms to said sober sources, you will notice quite a difference. Dictionaries are supposed to be objective reference books and not a setting for individuals to weight the focus of a definition toward ones personal world view. That’s dishonest. Now Agile Tortoise might be basically honest programmers who, focused on the machinery of making an elegant app, did not consider the purity of their source. But as any programmer knows, garbage in, garbage out. This tool is passing through some garbage from WorldNet, which has some of ITS source from a common lexicon from New York University called COMLEX. So it is unclear where the pollution entered the system. It could have been a dishonest NYU student who put a personal touch in while working on the project, who knows. But you can see how disinformation slips in in large complicated systems where people are too busy to proctor the details. Just be forewarned to take some of these definitions with a grain of salt. This is no “American Heritage” dictionary..TeenalsVersion: 4.2.0

✓ Pop up adsI used to love this app until they went buck wild on the pop up ads.Rachel endedVersion: 4.1.4

✓ Now FreeI downloaded this app. I paid for it. And all the sudden it's free?.Xander4356Version: 4.1.4

✓ Bought this before? Pay again or get ad-tracked!I'm really sick of authors taking their customers for a ride this way. I didn't pay for an app with advertising. Now an update has given me no choice. There are better ways to go about this, agile tortoise. Launch a free version with the in- app purchase, and keep the full app for those who have already paid, or prefer buying software not loaded with advertising and trackers. This model, I hate to say, is a quick way to alienate your early adopters and fans. Tortoise has done this twice to apps I have paid for. I like their apps, but I'm done; no more am I going to support this treatment of existing customers. I'd happily tip jar, but this is a dismal way to thank your supporters..StopHasslingMeVersion: 4.0.1

✓ Too easy to click linksI’m just trying to scroll through the definitions for the word and I keep inadvertently clicking synonyms. This is a major usability issue. Makes it very frustrating for me to use. Hope it gets fixed soon..MilicanVersion: 4.4.1

✓ Awfully CrashingThis application is awful, how on earth an application paid for crashes like this. I will have to report this app to the apple apps store for its removal if something is not done as soon as possible..ToyeHVersion: 4.3.0

✓ Paid for an app with advertisementsShame on the developer. Bought the app and now ads have been added.. 👎🏻.Bazula 22Version: 4.0.9

✓ I didn’t ask for an updateIf you are going to charge for an update, release a new app. Don’t put ads into an app that I have already paid for..PykVersion: 4.1.4

✓ Have to uninstallI bought this when it was a paid app. Not going to upgrade. Ads are poison. Different app? Naw screw customers. Shame I couldn’t just have the app I paid for. Didn’t need updates. No need for developer response..FunkofagesVersion: 4.1.4

✓ Will charge you twice if you update.I purchased the pro version of Terminology a few updates back - around their second version. After the update, features were revoked and I was seeing ads again. The Pro option doesn’t carry over. This is very stupid..NateNordquistVersion: 4.1.4

✓ UnresponsiveHave to type the word you’re looking for multiple times. According to this app the word “updated” does not exist. Really?.SAV1003Version: 4.1.4
