Ratings and Reviews
Suddenly stopped working
I love the dictionary app and had been using it for more than 5 years now. Recently it started giving issues on apple phone. I am using the paid version and when ever I try to search up a word it says “No results found for ….”
The app has become totally unusable for me as things stand. I have reinstalled the app restarted phone no help at all. Not sure if any one else faced this issue.
P.S I am still rating the app high as the app is amazing barring current issue ! may be a recent glitch either with new upgrade or some dormant bug which got triggered.
Favourite words update please?
Great dictionary but I remember in an earlier version you could swipe through your favourite words one after the other rather then clicking on it and reading it, then having to go back and click on favourite words again and scroll through all your words to look at the next word. I preferred the old style as I could scroll through favourites and learn them better ... it’s quite irritating have to exit and scroll through Alphabetical to your next word. Could we have an update to change this please?
A valuable and easy to use resource
I’ve been using this dictionary everyday for many years but then I’m a word lover. Is there a word for that? Let’s look it up. Ah yes of course a “logophile” or to be more vernacular a “word nerd”. Seriously though having this app running on your device gives you immediate access to a myriad of words that is a great help when you come across something you’ve never seen or heard before. It’s a must for everyone, it’s free (if you can put up with the ads) and is so easy to use. It even remembers which words you’ve looked up previously so you can go back and review your entire history o lookups. Very useful.
Developer Response ,
We know a lot of words and can recognize kind ones when we see them! Thanks so much for posting yours and for being such a fan of our app, David.
