    I love that this app gives me a simple, straightforward way to quickly look up a new word when I’m reading, browse through synonyms when I’m writing, or get a quick etymology when I’m curious about a word’s roots. And it’s all in one app!

    One of the best App purchases I’ve made! A great reference tool to look up word definitions and proper use, and to hear the word pronunciation. An invaluable tool. Well worth purchasing the ad-free version, too!
  • Love it!

    I’m a huge researcher of everything and frequently come across words that I don’t know or I’m not sure of the meaning. This handles all my phone needs. Some aspects I don’t care for or want so I ignore them. Would prefer settings to remove them from sight.

    Absolutely helpful and well written.
  • Widget Large White Border

    By PLGLSE
    The widget displays a large white border in version 5.7.2 of the app on iPhone (iOS 17.7) and iPad (iPadOS 17.7). This makes the content of the widget smaller and harder to read. Deleting and adding the widget does not fix the issue.
