It only gets three. It doesn't give the list of derivative words; something which gives me pleasure and a better repertoire of smoken hot vocabulary words to impiously press (impress) any readers I might have. If you add all the features that are on you web page, you got me. I'll give you a years subscription.

I enjoy the app. Ive used the website for years and finally just downloaded the app a couple months ago. The only thing I'd like to see change is when I highlight a word I'd like to easily press define for the non-english words the same way I could from the website. However It's only a few seconds to just switch to the web and search it. I still give 5 stars anyway :)

I love this app. It makes my inner logophile happy. I particularly like that it doesn't just say "from old french" like many other etymology sites. The etymology will be taken back as far as possible (often to proto-indo-european for most English words). The app is functional, the ads are relatively unobtrusive (for a free app), and I have not yet found the limits of its database. If I had one wish it would be to be able to click on root words to get audio pronunciations.
