Ratings and reviews

Be warned, the computer or phone version of this dictionary (for PC/Mac, Android, etc.) is just a poor quality scan of the dictionary pages, and the search results do not show the definition first, but simply show everywhere that the word occurs in any definition. You can get hundreds of search results for a word and have to look through all of them just to find the actual definition entry. Far below Merriam-Webster's usual product quality. Fortunately, you can preview to see how poor it is before paying anything.

color coded the verb as green, yellow as adjective, reddest blue as nouns that form like traffic lights that many can easy relate because everyone in this country look at the traffic light.. black and white text beside I can look at the internet the definition. too much old passion . not for dummy like me that is lazy to read instead I look at same colors if match what I am reading.this is book not keeping up with style with color coded and easy to read and know right away.

Simply put, this dictionary purchase is a money grab. All they have done is scanned the pages of the dictionary you likely already own. It will take a long time to load, you will not be able to perform word searches or any other function that can save time and promote ease of use. Not a good purchase at all.
