Ratings and reviews

I used to love this app and have used it for years as I like to learn new words. I even purchased all of the extra content. Recently the app has become either unusable (unable to get definitions - seems to be resolved) or annoying. I have some issues with the UX, but at least I can get definitions again. Download the offline dictionary if you have the space.

Having used the website for years on years, having this app on my phone was an obvious no-brainer. Familiar, comprehensive, dependable. SIKE! This app is the ultimate bait and switch. Just a few days ago marked 1 YEAR since an update has been released. Not weeks. Not month(s). YEAR. Probably why it's so glitchy. It's crawling with bugs that have been neglected to infestation. I guess I expected more due to brand-loyalty bias or sth idk

The App no longer saves my favorite words. I tried all the remedies of which I can think to no avail. I cleared the cache, but that didn't work. I even deleted and reinstalled the app - it didn't work. Even worse, when reinstalled the app, I paid $3 to remove the adds and to get full access. I was duped. (When I first reinstalled the App, the words saved; however, when I logged into my amount, the words no longer saved.) Please fix it!
