I love it

Phenomenal!

This is a really good app and a pleasure to use. Highly recommended!

Makes you smart.

Read 10 different word subjects, learn 10x fold more information then how you learn watching Television.

My Favourite Dictionary

Comprehensive, inexpensive, feature rich and allows you to bookmark favourite words into different folders.... been using it for over 5 years. I love The Free Dictionary.

Very helpful!

One of the best dictionaries!!!

Great but…

I already bought the pro version in-app. It still has buttons to get the pro version, which is very confusing. Also, the search bar needs to be at the bottom. It is neither ergonomic nor practical to have it at the top unless you hold your phone in a very unconventional way. Other than that, I love the app. I have been using it for years now. But I noticed that I am using it less and less frequently as it is hard to type things with the bar being being on top.

Amazing tool for Spanish learners

I paid a few dollars to remove the ads and use the Spanish version everyday on y my iPad and iPhone. It is much more complete than the built-in dictionaries since it pulls its definitions from multiple sources, giving the definitions as they are used in different countries. One element that I appreciate is that it’s possible to select a word or a sentence in the dictionary app and copy it to a note in another application. That can’t be done in the built-in dictionaries provided by Apple.

What an improvement

This app is greatly improved because of its speed and simplicity.

Unreadable

Have the font slider maxed out. Still way too small.

Vida

It’s perfect thanks 🙏🏼😍
