  • ADS are out of hand!

    I’m deleting this app because just about every word I look up I have to see an ad first. Even if I let the ad play, the X that appears in the top right is not even clickable. So I have to close out the app and start all over again, which means another ad. Vicious cycle.Not doing it anymore.

    I downloaded the Merriam-Webster app several years ago and still turn to it after every encounter with a new word or even a familiar word that I want to understand. This app has been handy and most importantly, reliable. It’s almost like a sidekick who doesn’t ask for anything but offers so much.

    It’s a great way to look up words to understand the full meaning of the word
  • Great way to learn meanings & origins of words

    Free version has ads between searches but imo less annoying than using a web search! Don’t google it unless you want a robot telling you answers to questions it could never ask.
  • Very Educational

    I enjoy this app because not like other apps, I learn by engaging my brain while building cognition.
