Good app

kerry quinn

Would be a 5 star app if everything but the dictionary definition and thesaurus didn't cost a bunch of money. Even to have the word used in a sentence is $2 just for that function. I do like the word of the day, but definitely looking for an app that includes all the features without paying monthly for every little feature. I'd be more understanding if you paid the 2.99 and got all the features instead of having to pay for them independently. They should also give a free trial period just to see how often you'd use it. Right now I only use it for the word of the day cause it uses it in a sentence and the origin of the word. Could have that for every word but the origin and used in a sentence cost separately.

I normally get some pretty good use out of this app. As I am on it several times in a day, at best. But after the recent update, it doesn't seem to be working properly. My selected favourites aren't being saved, the WOTD is not refreshing in the app as it is in my email, my Mplus points aren't showing up anymore, just keeps loading, and loading. Also, it crashes when I click the speaker box option for the correct pronounceation. Bottom line- please fix this or give me back the old version. Please&thank you.

Stole money from me! Was going to download the upgrade for the entire app, but accidentally clicked on the button right below it selling the smaller individual upgrades for the same price of the entire app. It charged my account and I can't get the money back! No option for refund. What's weird is that it doesn't even show up in my purchase history, so googleplay can't refund it.

Dictionary AND thesaurus? Not much else I can ask for. That it also works offline is great for quick lookups while reading an e-book while commuting. Haven't used its other features though, but it works well for me.

Valerie Meyer

Why do they make up words for the word of the day? There are so many real words to learn. Case in point- today's word: harrumph. Seriously?? Are they trying to be silly? This isn't the only ridiculous word. Just the straw that is making me delete the app!

I really like the content and I learn so much! I wish you could navigate a little better and I wish you could click on any word and see the definition. Or maybe I could ha e an option to search Google for a word or person or what have you.

July 16, 2017

Intrusive full-screen popup ads with audio auto playing every few taps. Not impressed. Can't use it any longer.

Warwick McLean July 13, 2017

Paid to have ads removed. Still get asked to buy full version when launching app, really annoying. I would have bought the complete app however it's not available in my country. Please remove purchase full version nag if I've paid for ads removed! It's an Ad!

July 12, 2017

When it acts as a Dictionary/Thesaurus app, Dictionary is a fine resource The problems began when Dictionary decided to engage in social commentary/justice. If (and they do) engage in this behavior on their Twitter account - fine - free country and all that. But when it started infesting the app, most notably their piece on the importance of Net Neutrality in both the Slideshow and Blog that one must be exposed to when opening the options tab, they have crossed a line. Now I have to question that a group with such a profound bias isn't allowing that bias to start coloring their definitions.

Shane Fritz July 14, 2017

OMG MPOINTS messed up my account and lost over 60,000 points and they claim they can't give them back! Big waste of time to go through all that work for nothing.

It's fast,.alot interesting side bars. Things that will open up a whole new world to learn, not only limited to word search.

Arun Joshi July 17, 2017

Amazing. The voice feature has near 100 per cent accuracy. And you can dictate spelling for confusing words.

Rajan kumar roy July 15, 2017

its awesome.spcly its way, in a very simply n brevity. but there r some feature which u cant download free of cost like sentence formation which is very necessary.

Rambabu Mekala July 20, 2017

Please provide an option for auto rotation, having a bit difficulty in using it in landscape mode. Thanks in advance.

Peter Bargh July 11, 2017

It is one the most useful dictionaries when it comes to writing. Choosing the right word works pretty well together with the synonyms tab.

Prateek Goyal July 8, 2017

One think is Missing if u r reading a book and suddenly u want to know the meaning of that particular word and u copied and search on dictionary app instead searching when u copied a word then it shows the meaning automatically below the page.

Julie Lawson July 8, 2017

Not as good as it used to be. It no longer shows synonyms which was always useful

July 9, 2017

Really useful. I like the Word of the day. The word origins, thesaurus and Grammar tips is very helpful, especially when recording info about a new word I learnt.

Mary Jo Fields July 8, 2017

Hate that mPOINTS are held hostage! Are mPoints even an incentive anymore?

Nathan Garza July 8, 2017

It's great to have a book with all words you cannot understand right away....lol 😊

Kankesh Kavish July 19, 2017

I wish that if there would be any zero star as this app have only some few words and information of maximum words are not there I suggest to every one to not download thise app

Mike S July 8, 2017

I would like to have the ability to create an account so I can access my favorites from other devices

Chetan Goyal July 15, 2017

A new word in notifications everyday and some good blogs other than serving its real purpose makes it one hell of an app. Advertising though is the reason for 4 stars rather than 5. Overall I really liked it.

wei han July 11, 2017

Too much ads! Once I used on web to listen the pronunciation, suddenly the loud commercial ads starts to talk. I am afraid to use it in office.

Chandramani Sridhar July 11, 2017

Its a superb ready ref , updated version. Useful for all who are on the go but need to check a word or a phrase .

Johnnie July 11, 2017

Varied and interesting way to learn new vocabulary through word of the day. Everything here for your language needs. It would be nice to have a copy button for the stored favourite words, to save them elsewhere, like a word document.

Krupali Joshi July 10, 2017

Daily a new word sent as notification helps me learn a new word everyday...and increases my vocabulary.. happy to have it installed!

WT Carter July 9, 2017

Great for phones. Terrible for tablets. Do something about it!

Luck Chhetri July 11, 2017

I don't like this because it use more space for offline working..

Tony Hermecz July 8, 2017

Great app, even though I'm am English speaker provides heaps of new information

Tiffanie Ainley July 9, 2017

I love it even tho I only have the basic version at the moment! Helps me with more than just learning what the meaning of a word is but helps me spell words correctly

July 16, 2017

Too many popups, can't disable annoying word of the day notification.

A Google User July 18, 2017

I heart this app so much! I use it several times a week. I highly recommend you download it.

jurassic world maniacs July 14, 2017

Its a dictionary of coarse I hate it its not a good game

Nadira Hameduddin July 10, 2017

I love this app. It provides a comprehensive information about any word history and lot of very interesting stuff.

Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Sanie July 18, 2017

I've tried a number of dictionaries, but this one is, by far, the best of them all. It should be a companion for all researchers and college students both graduates and undergraduates & professionals.

Jim Me July 11, 2017

FIX YOUR BARCODE SCANNER PLEASE!! IT SETS MY CAMERA TO SUPER ZOOM MODE ONLY AND CANT SCAN ENTIRE BARCODES! USING SAMSUNG GALAXY S6

July 13, 2017

The last dictionary I had you had to spell the word perfectly to get anything. This is so much better with more definitions too. Better word usage examples.
