    Beyond terrible. Littered with ads that sometimes obscure even the Search button. Deleted.

    Very good app, would be great if it had a notification option. For the word of the day.

    What an odd sounding and dressed-down combination those four letter characters make. But, boy, oh boy—they sure elevate the meaning and understanding of life. I do not appreciate near enough the rich resources entombed within a dictionary. I have and do utilize my Merriam-Webster dictionary when I’m at home (but—not near enough). The digital version will encourage me to look up more words more often because of the digital formats ease of use. I can take it in my pocket wherever I go. The audio feature will ensure that I am pronouncing my words correctly. The audio feature is why I am making the purchase.

    I don’t like that I have to go back just to see the “games”(true or false, and, word of the day.) there should be a feature that allows us to go to the start without clicking the back arrow a lot

  • Good dictionary, but lots of ads

    There are a lot of ads or ad breaks with the app, I usually get to search two words before a popup.
  • Helpful and resourceful but annoying pop up ads

    The app comes in handy when I need to quickly look up definitions or meaning of words or phrases. However one thing I find annoying is the pop-up ads. If there are ads at the side like on the website it would be understandable considering this is free. However the ads pop up whenever im about to click something. This slows me down as sometimes i just want to quickly look up a word. The button to exit the ad is difficult to find too
