LookUp Dictionary: Learn Daily for Negative User Reviews

Subscription required for features I already paid forThis app was great for looking up words on the go, adding them to my word collections, and translating them to different languages. I also enjoyed the learn tab that helped me build my vocabulary through interactive quizzes. However, the recent update 9.5 ruined everything by requiring a subscription to access these features. This is unfair because I already paid for the app and I should be able to use all the features without paying more. I want my money back or my features restored..Version: 9.5

Good design but worthless dictionaryThe design and UX is first class. But the content is mediocre at best. It’s better to use the built in dictionary via spotlight. For a reference app, worthless content makes a worthless dictionary..Version: 6.2

Subpar. DO NOT BUY.Word of the day pronunciation is wrong! Completely inacceptable for a dictionary. Don’t waste your money and buy Miriam Webster’s or OED..Version: 4.0.2

Great graphics, ok appThe pictures are great but the app always struggles to load and the words reset at odd times of the day. Honestly, it’s worth half of what they charge which isn’t a lot but it’s a glitchy app. It does let you save your favorites and you can look at past words (whenever it eventually loads). All in all, it’s a pretty fair app for people who love words, they just need to work out some kinks..Version: 4.0.4

Good content but very irritating wait time for resultThe app’s content is great but I need to wait for an average for 4 to 5 seconds every time I need to search a word. It might seem small, but wait until you start using it….Version: 9.2.5

Weak AttemptLet me start by saying that I have no problem paying for a dictionary app; new words fascinate me and Lookup looked like a ‘fun’ dictionary. And the reality is that this application is actually very pretty- the night mode is stylish and word of the day drawings actually motivate me to open it frequently, which is something a dictionary app has never compeled me to do. But it’s greatly deterred by the fact that so many of the real, English words I’ve looked up are hit with a ‘no results’ find. In fact, it seemed that any word beyond a high school-level vocabulary could not be found. The reality is that a dictionary app is primarily used to define words we may find in our day-to-day lives and just aren’t familiar with, and there are plenty of free dictionary apps with things such as built-in thesauruses or far more information/uses behind the word that you are searching than this app can offer. The only true thing that Lookup has going for it are it’s looks, and that unfortunately doesn’t justify its price tag..Version: 4.0.4

Drag & Drop Feature Is a PainGreat app, but it’s just extremely hard to do Drag & Drop. Sometimes it’s not even working. The app would me nicer if it allowed me to just double tap a word for definition instead of the unnecessary pain of the pointless Drag & Drop function..Version: 5.1.1

Love the app, BUT…I recently upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro and I noticed my battery was draining rather quickly. So I went into the settings and saw that over the last 24 hours a whopping 27% of battery usage was from the LookUp app. Under where it says LookUp app it lists “audio” as the activity that is causing the battery drain. I really do love this app…I even have the widget on my home screen. I’m a bit of a vocabulary nerd so this app really filled that niche. But if this battery drain isn’t resolved, I don’t see how I can keep it on my phone. I will upgrade my rating if the battery issue is fixed..Version: 10.0.2

Tries to upswell to subscriptionBought this a few months ago as a paid for app. Quite fun but a bit janky (kept sending me the same word of the day on my watch). Now it has a subscription service which has quite an intrusive upsell on the app. No longer an enjoyable experience, especially given that I bought it and the service has changed. Not recommended..Version: 9.6

Beautiful with cool features but the dictionary is lackingHands down the most beautiful dictionary app in the AppStore and I really like the idea of organizing words in to collections. Having said that, the actual dictionary is sub par. A relatively simple (to readers) and common word like “haughtily” doesn’t have an entry. I can only imagine what else is missing. Also, not really a complaint but their choice for word of the day seems relatively simple compared to other dictionary apps..Version: 5.1

GREEDY (deleting this app!!!)It’s fine to make this app a subscription based model but some basic features should be freemium like hearing the pronunciation of words..Version: 10.0.2

Impressive but pronunciations are offJust downloaded it and think it’s really impressive so far. However, as a native English speaker, the pronunciation of a number of words are far too American when compared to the standard Google pronunciation (which is a lot more accurate). For example, advertisement or aesthete - and this is even the case with the British English Dictionary setting enabled in the app!.Version: 6.2.1

I second the 'all looks, less content'Inefficient. That's it. I shut the app up coz I'm tired of waiting those few seconds for the app to even 'show up'. And the widget is terrible! Shows mostly just the word. But sometimes, just by chance, ends up showing the definition too. Clearly shows that the app was built in a very mediocre manner..Version: 4.0.2

Got for the widget but getting on my nerves...Not sure why, but on the widget, sometimes the picture updates not the text, and then sometimes the text updates and not the pic... Doesn't make any sense why they wouldn't just change together?! Nice artwork - 5* if fixed!.Version: 7.0.4

New paywall for basic featureThis app was a staple widget on my phone for years for a daily word but they have since made what was a free feature now paid. I understand the developers need to fund development of the app, but the point of the freemium model is to make paid features compelling enough to make it worthwhile, not to change the basic feature set to a subscription..Version: 10.0.1

No longer works.This app use to work great, everyday it would give me a new word of the day, but once I switched over to an iPhone 13 Pro the app no longer gives me a new word. It’s been stuck on the same home page with the same words for weeks. When I uninstall and reinstall it finally gives me a new word but now it’s stuck on that new word and it’s been a week with no change. I receive no new word and the home page doesn’t update with any new recommended words..Version: 8.1.1

Pretty but slowIt’s got a good interface and looks, but content is shallow and brief. M-W or Webster dictionaries provide more info. Also definitions are pulled from internet and not stored locally, so in places with slow or no internet it does not work. It’s not for word study, it will only give you very brief definitions without examples or much of etymology. I recommend paid version of merrian webster if you really want a functional dictionary. I don’t know why apple is promoting this app. Like I said, it’s all about the looks, not brains..Version: 6.0.2

Needs bi-direction searchHi Developers I really love the app. I hope you can implement bi-direction search in the future. Right now I can only search words in English and they will be translated into my language, but not the other way around..Version: 6.2.4

DisappointedExpected a lot more for the price..Version: 2.0.2

Greetings from under the busI purchased this app in late November last year but now the functionality I paid for is no longer working, with the developer's recent switch to a subscription model. While I appreciate nothing lasts, I would expect a paid-for app to work for more than a few months without the developer issuing an update which removes the most useful functions. It's a shame because Lookup is actually pretty good, but throwing existing customers under the bus to chase a payout, that's cold, real cold..Version: 9.6

Not Worth itI purchased this app for the Word of the Day option. There is no way to set a specific time for notifications. The notifications are hit or miss. Sometimes I get one but most of the times I don’t. Also the Word of the Day has been the same word for two day. I don’t know why Apple features these apps that clearly don’t work properly and are not worth it..Version: 5.2.3

Worldly chaosThe app displays one word on the corner Apple Watch complication but when you click the app displays a totally different one and there’s no way to see the one from the complication. While on iPhone widget there’s another word and if you click it’s a totally random 4th word inside the app. At least on iPhone you can check previous words. This bug is never fixed..Version: 8.1.1

Was a great appEver since they introduced lookup plus this app has become unusable. Why would I pay a subscription service for a dictionary app that I already payed for? It’s honestly pathetic and unless they revert the changes or at least let anyone who bought the app prior to have a free subscription, the devs aren’t getting anymore of my money..Version: 9.6.2

Collections are getting deleted after 24 HoursEverything is great with respect to the range of words that are available and UI are concerned. But there is a problem with the Collections. We i create a collection to save words they get deleted after 24 hours. Not sure whether it’s a bug or a feature. It will be very helpful is they don’t get removed..Version: 8.1.1

Horrible optimizationUseful app. However, the App is horrendously crafted and countless visual caveats. Please pay someone to do your design properly. I can't believe they actually featured your app despite the obvious UI problems..Version: 3.2.1

Update deleted all my collectionsI thought the idea behind this app was creative and I used very often. I wasted my time to curate all the interesting words into collections that I created. I've just opened the app today and all my collections are gone. I would not waste my time to recreate them because it would take a long time; and even if I wanted to, that would be impossible because the list of last shown words now just goes back to the last five words. Deleting....Version: 7.5.1

Fix this glitchIf you have the app set to stay open in the background, the word of the day will never refresh. There is still a glitch where the quiz never refreshes, and I haven't been able to fix that.Version: 8.1.1

Not suggest you to get thisHow do you want me to discover new word? For instance if I decide to learn new words everyday accessing to your flash cards I have to scroll down every single time in order to see? Useless thing. I want my money back.Version: 6.0.5

Offline useI would love it if you could implement offline use for all applications..Version: 8

PointlessInitially, it appears to hold potential, but ultimately, it falls short. The initial excitement of accessing the "Word of the Day" transforms into yet another request for a monthly subscription fee. I could obtain a thesaurus for a similar monthly cost and leisurely explore a page each day, which I'm inclined to do. Beyond the word itself and accompanying graphics, there isn't much offered, and if you desire pronunciation, it's more practical to utilize Google Translate for that purpose. In summary, it failed to remain on my Mac for more than three days. Do not recommend..Version: 10

Can't rate. Won't launchCan't really rate this. I can't get it to get past the loading screen..Version: 1.0.1

Stop prompting for a reviewStop prompting for a review.Version: 6.0.1

Suggestions1. Add French translation please 2. Support play pronunciation on the widget. 3. No machine pronunciation, we need real humans voice! 5. Your widget has a big issue. It keeps refreshing every few minutes, which is really annoying seeing it says loading and I had to remove it! To me the widget is pretty much the only useful thing from this app. I hope you can fix it and make my money worth it!.Version: 6.0.1

Missing a basic notification settingYou can't set a time for the daily word of the day notification. This is absolutely ridiculous. Look Up sends me the notification in the middle of the night, meaning it gets buried with all the other notifications that I get overnight. Allow me to choose a time and I'll reconsider this app. It might be a fun app to browse words in every once-in-a-while, but currently isn't very useful as a daily vocabulary builder..Version: 6.0.1

Terrible "iOS 10" DesignI reinstalled seeing the update but it didn't help, uninstalled again. Seems Watch and iMessage apps come first though. Terribly awful iOS 10 inspired design that doesn't work, slow, with no dark theme like prior. Big bold flashy is jarring to deal with. Keep it simple. Before it was subtle and nice. Lost that..Version: 3.1.1

Good all-purpose Dictionary AppIt’s pretty good, for the words it includes. Thanks for allowing me to restore purchase from previous iPad. Unfortunately, it will not allow me to sync favorite words from my other device. Not a huge word base, but I like the UI and the amount of information included..Version: 10.0.2

Word of the day complication not refreshingThis is an amazing app save for the fact that despite the app showing the current word of the day, the watch face complication will refuse to refresh unless I restart the whole watch. The word of the day also doesn’t change at the start of each day; it changes in the middle, at least for me. It would be amazing if there was an option for the word of the day to only change in the morning, so that there is actually a new word at the start of every day (even if it means I’m technically not caught up to what the current word is; like, my word of the day would lag behind the “real” one so that it switches in the morning of my time zone). I would gladly pay a subscription if that’s what it would take for these features to be implemented. Either way, thanks..Version: 7.5.2

Might as well charge to download the appThis app is horrible. You get the app, it gives you two words for two days. And then asks you to pay $30 a year to get more. The primary purpose of this app is to give you fun word of the days but then instantly locks it behind a pay wall. What is the point of that! There’s plenty of other features of the app that are locked behind a pay wall… why not keep it at that and let us have the BARE MINIMUM advertised in the app! Horrible decision in my opinion to advertise an app as free but to then make it absolutely useless unless you join their subscription model. Stay away from this junk of an app..Version: 10.0.2

CanadaNice app but the etymology of Canada is not Portuguese as app says. OMG. It is from the Huron-Iroquois word kanata meaning village or settlement..Version: 3.2

Not impressed with the bait and switchI bought this app when it first came out. I was impressed. It’s very good. However now that I’ve purchased it they’re asking me to purchase it again through a subscription. Unimpressive business model. Frustrated. Won’t be subscribing..Version: 9.6.3

Pity it won’t openI downloaded this as it was App of the Day. Searched a couple of words with no problem. I’m quite loquacious so always enjoy increasing my vocabulary. Thought the word cards were cute, then it crashed. I switched it off & back on again etc etc. I tap the app button, the home screen disappears for a second then reappears. The app won’t work now..Version: 4.0.2

Lock UpEnjoyed the app for years. Now after an update there are locks everywhere. This completely destroys the feel. As only an occasionally user, this lock up of the App has been ruined. The version in early days was an excellent, simply beautiful creation..Version: 9.6.2

Cool idea, meh executionI love expanding my vocabulary and learning new things. The app (but not apt) description says that drawings and examples help you retain the words, except for how they don’t at all. Only about a third of the definitions show the words used in a sentence. In some cases, the artist seems to have chosen the least common meaning of a word to illustrate. The Wikipedia links are sometimes irrelevant, like the word ‘evanescence’ linking to a page about the musical group and not the word..Version: 4.0.3

American AccentsNeat app so far but it would perfect if we could have the option to change the pronunciation voice to an American accent. Certain words are a bit tough to fully take in because of the British accents. Thank you..Version: 9.6.3
