    I’m enjoying the premium version. I am a native English speaker, and still love to grow my vocabulary, this app helps as there are word games to make it fun.
  • Good but could have more features

    You can’t view a list words without looking them up first. I wish I could view words the way you could in a physical dictionary. The search function only works if you spell the word correctly so it can be hard to find a word you can’t quite spell exactly. It does have a thesaurus feature which is nice. And it has weekly word games included. Overall worth a purchase if you use a dictionary often while traveling.
  • Excellent resource

    Great resource with easy to use info and often excellent documentation on etymologies.
  • Great for pronunciation.

    Really helpful for looking up words and being able to pronounce them right because you can actually listen to the words rather than struggle with the pronunciation table. A great way to learn new words because you can play a game and practice and improve your vocabulary. So overall, a great tool to increase your vocabulary.

    My go-to dictionary has been Merriam -Webster Dictionary for several years. In addition to definitions, each entry offers synonyms, antonyms, and a pronunciation.

    DON’T BUY. I purchased the app and registered it….it only gave me the free version. You can’t get the app to reflect the purchase. No human support only a lame letter they are real busy and useless articles to help. No where to get a refund or at least fix the problem!
  • Better than an subscription

    Nice app. My only gripe, with the new iOS 26 Liquid Glass update the widget looks horrendous and washed out. Needs to be updated for iOS 26.
