    I love the MWD+ app! It’s absurdly useful.

    No match found for words that show up in the online version. Fix your app.
  • False Advertising

    Why did I pay for an app that says ad free, only to have ads? That’s 10 bucks I wasted, thanks!

    Even after 57 years I come across words I am totally unfamiliar with, so the Merriam-Webster Dictionary+ allows me to find their meaning, hear the pronunciation & tag it for later reference with a few quick taps. I guess that old cliché is wrong, you can teach an old dog new barks!?
  • Good everyday dictionary

    Great UI, concise definitions (definitely not as thorough as OED). The ability to save words is a great feature.
  • Word not found on the app shows on its web version

    I searched the word “archnemesis” on the app I just purchased but it says “no match” found.” How come the word shows up on the web version of Merriam-Webster Dictionary? Can I get my money back?
  • Great reference, bad games

    By Erin MJ
    As a dictionary app, it’s great! The accompanying games are poorly designed and frustrating (and I am a word game aficionado). I am unreasonably annoyed by this, and it affects my feelings about the app and the institution.

    I love this dictionary's multifactorial character. It has an all-encompassing dictionary, thesaurus, and pronunciation option.
