    As a writer I keep this app on the front page of my iPhone and iPad, and utilize it regularly. I find the thesaurus especially helpful.

    I use the M-W Dictionary on a daily basis. I love learning something new and I love to challenge myself with the various games available. I’ve had no issues with crashes or glitches. I highly recommend it!

    The quality of life improvements are welcome, as the user experience has improved in almost every conceivable way in recent years. M-W’s form and function remain first in class, but many users would still like to see suggestions listed for misspellings, all too common on cramped virtual keyboards. Having to use fine scrolling or backspacing to the erroneous character has always felt tedious, even onerous. Another long-standing request: LANDSCAPE SUPPORT. Many users are sick of being torn from landscape to portrait mode when multitasking. Minus two stars initially, then three, which feels generous because the devs are not listening. Minus another star for literally constant crashes that prevent me from even launching the app.

    This app is top notch. It works well and has Merriam-Webster’s high-quality content along with great features like recorded pronunciations. You pay once and download it for offline access. There are no ads or distractions. The app design is great. I can’t recommend this app highly enough.
