The app in my opinion is okay like I bought this app is a quick and easy app that I can look up words But in my opinion it was not good enough for the price I have to pay I am not going to comment saying it bad without proves For one in some English words like lead there are two ways of saying it but this app provided one way And sometimes when I look at how it define a certain words it s hard for me to understand Like the app is pretty easy to use I can give it credit for that but it need to improve to be better                 There is some problems Esbrie

UPDATE THE APP FREZES AFTER CHANGING THE WEB LINKS PLEASE FIX Did not want Google as 2nd web link so I copied and pasted the URLs then it froze up Suggestion please provide a way of re ordering the URL links copying pasting back spacing is a nuisance REVIEW Well designed excellent dictionary This is based upon the highly regarded Princeton Word Net lexical database but with etymologies added in Spiffy It also includes the aforementioned web links giving users quick access to online dictionaries Wikipedia and Google Great feature that expands the power immensely I ve used this app for years on the iPhone and it is indeed superb I thought it would be a good idea to reward the developers by purchasing the version for the iPad Plus I wanted to have better looking text crisp not grainy designed for the iPad screen However the XL version for the iPad while quite good overall was in its first incarnation something of a step backwards There were several usability problems that needed fixing They have addressed some of these and I ve raised the rating In what follows I describe the issues the updates and offer suggestions for improvement 1 MUCH BETTER NOW For those who have aging eyes or hold the iPad at a reading distance the largest text still could be larger Many of us do not hold the iPad or the iPhone right next to our eyeballs Note I m getting more comfortable with it but still sometimes wish of a larger size Th larger sizes seem better now too 2 One problem is that the etymology of the words is in a smaller font size and in a grey text that is harder to read In fact ironically the iPhone version in its 2x mode is much easier to read and deal with on the iPad This remains an issue why not make them colored crisp and in the same size just spaced farther below 3 Another major problem is that the background is a glaring white For most words the definitions do not take up much space on the screen Consequently the screen remains largely white and hard to look at That s blinding especially at night I would urge the developers to give users the ability to change the color of the background paper screen as well as that of the text much the way ebook apps do In addition there could be a Night Mode Now one s night adaptation and vision and their partner s sleep are blinded by the glaring white screen Very unpleasant 4 Please put a button on the bottom toolbar that would take us directly to our bookmarked words That s the way it works on the iPhone version and it s much more convenient Now it s a multi step process and if it s been a while since one s used the app it s a guessing game where that control is 5 Finally some suggestions It would be nice to have a two column mode in portrait orientation The two column arrangement with search on the left and words definitions on the right would work well with both showing at the same time It could be an option for the user 6 THERE IS NOW A SOLUTION By the way is there any way of importing bookmarked and favorite words from the iPhone app into the iPad one That would be particularly useful and help us continue to expand our vocabularies and word knowledge Ah There is You have to email yourself the entries and then can import them Thanks Few other dictionary apps provide this so this is helpful In any event thanks for making such a great dictionary and app             Fantastic dictionary and app well designed and worth the Yet AstroPaul
This is my favorite dictionary straight forward and easy to use Very comprehensive and update regularly It was packed with many unique and useful features take notes bookmark puzzle solver and the real voice recorded for every word is a plus I love it                     My go to dictionary CooperHara
I ve had this app a long time and use it awkwardly to keep saved words Could be five start but 1 As designed it is simply easier to search definitions with a browser and developers make no attempt to address this For example a huge improvement in reading in iBooks for example or any other such app to be able to save to wordbook 2 Search should have ability to produce suggestions when spelling is incorrect Five stars with these changes 2 without and that is generous as without it I don t really use it         Just use Google 444tiger
I am a writer and continuously need a good dictionary and thesaurus I believe I tried almost all of them at one point until I found this one This absolutely the best dictionary I ve ever used electronic or conventional printing                     Best Dictionary App Rule13.1

As another reviewer already noted the icon reminds me so much of Bank of America that I get these two apps confused all the time It would be great if they changed the icon design to something that is more clearly that of a dictionary app Trivial it may be but it bugs me That being said the app is perfect in every other way I love that it has corresponding Mac and iPhone apps and that they all sync with one another Wikipedia integration is extremely handy as well I have no issues other than the annoying icon on my homescreen              Love the app but the icon is heinous
Latest update doesnt work at all     Please fix puzzle solver

I use this app often Easy to use and informative                 Great App
Although the definitions are not entirely complete the etymologies are well above average for a small dictionary and at the asking price this is an outstanding value Extras such as the anagram and word finder aids and a good if basic thesaurus only make it better              Excellent value
This is a solid dictionary with very well designed interface great content etymology several pronunciations including the real voice not the computer generated voice as many other dictionaries available in the store IPAIts worth more than the asking price                 A must have
My go to dictionary and yet not good at helping me with my bad spelling              Good
Easy to use and very accurate I find myself using it a few times a week                 Great
I used lots of these books but this is the only one that I can say the word in the mice and their it is This book is great for a bad speller such as me                 Greatest
