Some themes to choose from as well as font size. These changes were added based on users' suggestions. All the cosmetic changes with the same beloved words and definitions underlining a simple, yet eloquent interface.

Ratings and reviews

Useful app for studying older texts, the dictionary itself is of higher quality than any modern dictionary I've ever used, explaining most words in significant depth, with some of Webster's own personal thoughts and opinions thrown in every so often. App is easy to use, clean, and doesn't contain obtrusive ads. Would recommend.

Used to be good. The new themes do not work well. The default theme mode does not respect system default and enable dark mode automatically and the setting's menu is always in light mode; why would you add a white gradient to dark mode!? Also, why in the world do I want you tracking what I look up? Please remove this or allow disabling history. I don't care if the stats stay local only, I don't appreciate tracking of my history.

I don't like it at all. It is not simplified. One has to spend a lot of unnecessary time searching for definitions of a word when it seems to me that if the application had a search bar where all that you would have to do is begin to type the words and as you are typing in the letters words would begin to appear in anticipation of the word/ words and either type in the rest of the letters to the word and then once the word appears tap on the word for d the definition/'s.
