  • Horrible ads

    I expect more from a renown name like Miriam Webster who allows ads that simulate a virus taking over your phone. They either need to drop their subscription offer or take a second look at what ads they’re allowing. Use google to look up words if you can.
  • Daily Word is Worthless

    By Graceman Jim
    I wanted to expand my vocabulary using the daily word, but the daily word, words are nothing that I hear used in conversations, teachings, or lectures. Because that was the expressed reason for downloading the app, I am in installing it!
  • Everyone should download

  • Merriam-Webster, please be more selective with the ads you allow.

    I have no problems with ads on a free app; I know very well ads are the reason I am able to enjoy it for free. What I do have a problem with are obviously scam ads designed to trick vulnerable people into clicking on them. “Add.g.double click.net” claimed I had viruses on my phone and wanted to access my settings—clearly fake, but it’s very disappointing that such an ad is allowed on an app by Merriam-Webster.
  • Excellent learning tool

    I deleted even though I don’t mind the small ads, their ads was very obtrusive, taking up my full screen

    This dictionary app is very helpful. Whenever I need to understand a word I don’t know and the context in a paragraph, I go to this app to clear things up for me. I recommend it if you want to expand your vocabulary.

    I’m only a kid but I still came out here to write this review because it’s a really good app. It’s helpful, there’s “words of the day” to expand my vocabulary, it’s really easy to use, and it even works on my Apple Watch - just say a word and it gives you the definition. W app really you should all get this
