    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.
  • Finally pulled the trigger on the paid version

    I have been debating on whether or not to buy the pay version of this app for years! I finally got tired of the ads and pulled the trigger. Great decision! It is a small one time cost that will save you many many moments of frustration in the future.
  • The best online dictionary period.

    I want to cancel purchase. No etymology. But otherwise ok.

    I love this app (and have been using it for quite a while after switching from the dictionary.com app). It’s simple and straightforward to use, and I enjoy the little games and quizzes. I use it quite often when solving crossword puzzles. The only thing I would like to see implemented — in addition to the current “word of the day“ home screen widget — is a widget with search functionality to minimize the steps to get to the search field.
  • True Bargain

    You will never find a good, thorough dictionary at this price. Highly recommend its purchase.
  • Best ever and getting better
