    Pronunciation? Check. Etymology? Check. Usage? Check. Thesaurus? Check. Thorough definitions? Check. What this one has that the other popular dictionary apps don’t (I’ve tried the top three) is a subscription price that’s so incredibly reasonable I actually consider paying it!
  • Great Job for providing knowledge

    It helps me with all of my spelling definitions that I need to do and it gives you a full sentence of what it means and honestly, I really like it I have 25 words to do and honestly before I just use a regular dictionary or actually another dictionary on my phone and it took me at least an hour cause I had to keep asking you what the word means and stuff But now I don’t even have to do anything anymore like you can just press the mic button and then you can say it by yourself or you can type it out and it gives you the word what it means so I recommend for you guys to use a dictionary, but if not, totally up to you but honestly, this helps with my words so yeah to all the pants that have kids out there and like in third grade or fourth grade or fifth grade and they need to do definitions. I honestly recommend this for them so yeah I hope you guys can choose this one.
  • Questionable date efficiency

    The dates for the “word of the day” is not entirely accurate… or should I say, INCREDIBLY off schedule. It would be of great help if you could get someone to fix this, for it bugs me to no end…
  • Synonyms, antonyms, pronunciation

    Can’t think of a word or correctly pronouncing it? It’s all I. Your finger tip! And examples how to use the word. I use it everyday!
  • Almost perfect

    By drmcaines
    Merriam-Webster’s app is nearly perfect. The only problem is that it lacks functionality when trying to learn new words. Yes, you’re able to save words. However, you can’t really study your saved words on the app. They should add a flashcards feature turning your saved words into a study tool.
  • Satisfactory!
