    Best dictionary ever made
  • Useful Dictionary

    Very useful on a daily basis. You must have an approximate idea on how to spell the first several letters in the word to find the word and its definition.
  • FREQUENT ads in a dictionary

    Truly a dystopian hellscape when you get ads for "Royal Clash" and "Temu" when searching "disdain" Bitter irony? As a physical product, I am happy to pay the commensurate sum for acquisition. This app BARELY replaces a basic internet query. As such, it has been deleted and I have taken all of my vernacular questions back to google. Thanks for reminding me how bleak our future really is.

    Awesome
  • Offensive ads

    A young elementary school student was looking up a definition for school that he could not find in his student dictionary, while an extremely offensive Google ad popped on the bottom bar. Access to words without exposure to filth should not come at a cost! Historically, placing that kind of filth in front of children would have been illegal. The community is obligated to protect a child’s innocence. Merriam-Webster has an obligation to collaborate with advertisers to ensure children are protected.

    Easy to use digital dictionary and thesaurus. Underrated tools in today’s world of over-reliance on auto-correct and text prediction tools. Be more deliberate about the words you use people. Thank you Webster.

    The app is easy to navigate, allows you to save Serrano words, and is free with short adds in-between searches. The history option has proven useful as well.
