Upgraded review
Apparently, the use of my VPN would dissociate and disconnect my login with Dictionary Pro through IP address re-assignment. This gave the appearance that my bookmarks and saved vocabulary lists were non-existent. The VPN, by design, changes your ISP's default IP address and drops logon status with the Farlex Dictionary Pro iOS v13.1 app. I have submitted an inquiry to Farlex if they associate IP address with an account profile. I'm certain this explains all.
And ... Still My First Choice in Dictionaries
Re-rate every update is getting tiresome... Yet it keeps getting better! So I guess re-rating is the price we pay for excellence. I have 5 dictionaries loaded, this, through trial and error, has risen to the top, it consistently returns more information than others... Plus I like the word games 😊
4 and a 1/2 stars just to be safe
Yep! Everything works. I wish there was more room on the backside of the flashcards.
Appreciated it for many years
Understandable definitions, synonyms, some word games, make it my first choice. Thanks
Finds obscure and Archaic
Interestingly, a word search yielded usable informative result not located on Wiktionary and another ‘big name’ dictionary. Additionally, this ‘slang’ term was not seen on their Slang Dictionary. This is a monster-machine ready to dig out the goods when queried. Pay them for this app. =Peace=
¡Fantástica!
Le doy cinco estrellas porque me ha sido muy útil y he aprendido mucho consultándolo cuando tengo dudas acerca de una palabra o es nueva para mí, recomiendo la app 100%.
Exceptional
I’m elated to an app like this, I even paid for the pro version; however, the option to ‘favorite’ words would be appreciated.
Exasperating at best
When are points taken away? Are there different points awarded depending on the category? How many ‘neurons’ are need to feed a child?
I can’t find a simple rule book. How many NEURONS do we need to see this?
Exactly right. Full. Fast. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Used for years, daily. True writer’s companion. Thesaurus, etymology helpful. Catches alternative spellings when possible. May link to alternative dictionaries and other sources. (I especially like the thesaurus operation.)
