Ratings and reviews

Top-tier thesaurus, and the app is totally worth the price tag. However, I believe the Dictionary app should most definitely be combined with this. I'd still not hesitate to pay the combined price tag, if the reason they remain separate is to not deter people from purchasing something that's marked higher, than the higher likelihood someone choosing to buy an app labeled half price. Hope there will be a future option to incorporate both, for the seamless experience this has potential to be

For years I've used this app on various devices, but for some while on a fairly old (by modern standards) Galaxy Note 4 (Android 6.0.1). Recently, it began to crash with the message "Unfortunately, Chambers Thesaurus has stopped." Eventually, today, I uninstalled the app from my phone and re-installed it from the Play Store. All seemed satisfactory. When I opened it the first time it ran fine. Phew. Good news. I closed it and a few minutes opened it to use again and once more that message. :-(

Perfect companion to the dictionary, with all the same pros: no ridiculous ongoing fee, offline, simple. and a brilliant thesaurus to boot. I'll echo someone else's comments re integration with the other apps in the suite. It would be ideal to have these merged into a single all, or a single click-through to each other. There is integration of some sort that the moment - searching for word x can be accessed with a few click in the dictionary, eg. But its a bit clunky. Still, excellent overall.
