Ratings and reviews

EVERYONE NEEDS THIS!!! As an artist with a B.F.A. in English Literature, I love love love this app! In this age of predictive text, spell-check, and text abbreviations; This dictionary should be required not only for students, but anyone who calls themselves educated. **I especially love the tip of the day- I get to relearn things from The Elements of Style that I thought I'd never forget while in college! 20 stars (if I could!)

Is give this app 0 stars I never even opened this app after downloading, wanted it only to check my grammar and punctuation. I just opened it this morning and it says trial version ended. NOT GOOD! And the optional questions are this, yes, I wouldn't know since I didn't get to use it at all, again I don't know haven't even seen that choice!.

The app used to work fine. Today, it tells me that it requires permission to save photos to my phone in order to operate. If you deny the app permission, it won't even function.
