  • Weak definitions

    I really messed up purchasing this. Merriam-Webster is pretty surface level compared to the OED. But beyond the shallow definitions, the app doesn’t seem formatted for the larger iPhones and the UI is surprisingly sparse (not in a good way). Also, there’s no search history or an ability to download anything. These are basic features I’ve seen in nearly every other dictionary app. I feel like a sucker having paid $10 for this. Sigh.

    Perhaps the oldest American dictionary. Still great in electronic form.
  • Just Says Error Now. Please Fix

    I cannot search anything in this dictionary anymore. Every time I enter any word into the search field, I simply get the message “Error.” I’m putting in established and accepted words. Very odd. I’m using this application on an iPhone 13 Pro Max if that helps to diagnose the issue at all for the developer. I hope the developer will please look into this problem with the program and please release an update that hopefully fixes the issue. Thank you if so, thank you for the hard work and time no doubt put into this app and God bless.

  • Great dictionary app

    The app is great and easy to use. I also enjoy the different types of vocab games that come with the app. One recommendation would be to unable the user to change the text sizes (and preferably the margins as well). Some of the texts are too big or lines are too spaced out which make it hard to capture in one look.

    Trying to use app when at work to try And find out how to spell something by saying the word using the microphone feature in noisy area or even in mild noisy area microphone can not pick up what I am saying. I can use normal txt feature using microphone iPhone picks up just fine. Same microphone on the phone. App needs little better microphone software added to it.
