## Merriam Reviews in Japan

### ***** "Now the design includes accessibility with VoiceOver"
With everything correctly labeled and easy to locate, the app is so useful and it is really enjoyable for me to use it. Thank you very much, and keep up the great work!
-- Gorpher, 2021-08-16

### ***** "Thanks"
This dictionary is so helpful, I’m learning many new words. Thank you so much for your great dictionary.

I found this dictionary is very useful and easy to use.
I have a hard copy of this dictionary, however, the digital form of this dictionary makes more conveyance for using it everywhere.
I sincerely  appreciate your hard work.
Thank you so much

### *---- "Poor support for iPad Pro Magic Keyboard"
Why do I need to tap the search field with my finger before typing words with Magic Keyboard? This app may have a way to focus on the search field with keyboard shortcut.
-- 百折不撓的米斯特菜, 2020-09-24

### *---- "Still A Real Scam!"
To people who are thinking of purchasing this dictionary. be warned and  learn from my experience. You pay ¥480 for it. They will, however, announce soon enough that it will no longer be supported. Then they will want you to fork out another ¥480 for the newer version. This was what happened to me. This is most unethical, not to mention a fraudulent act!

Complaining about this fraudulent act to App Store will not help at all. Those people will not side with you.

Not recommended at all! Go  for Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary instead. It costs more but then you get pronunciation offline. These people at MW are very dishonest and have absolutely no integrity. Don’t let them fleece you out of your money!

Not recommended at all!
-- pewa2000, 2019-10-14

### ***-- "a good app, but"
it will not pronounce.
-- SkepticAnimal, 2019-06-06

### ***** "Worth Paying For"
I get use out of this app on my iPad and iPhone practically daily, and its combination of ease of use with extensive information and ready access makes it a winner for me. I consider the money I paid for it to be well-spent.
-- orguss, 2018-07-14

### *---- "Still internet-dependent for pronunciation! Shame!"
Strange that tons of unnecessary photos can be included but the necessary pronunciation file has to be downloaded for every single use of 📣 pronunciation click. No internet, no sound! What the lame excuse not to have the pronunciation an integral part of the dictionary.  Wild search (e.g., ???ton or ?lig* not possible.) How anyone can justify buying your product when the free apps deliver these!  Still, copy-to-lookup is not possible. Well, darn shame!
-- Junkappwatcher, 2018-02-18

### ***-- "Unabridged"
I bought unabridged edition app.
Please update it.
-- ドライ, 2018-01-26

### ***** "Very good app."
Many sentences, words of origin and anonymous are containd.Good app.
-- Eradi, 2018-01-26

### ***** "Does the job"
Haven't found much to dislike.
-- kev-in-tokyo, 2017-06-25

### ***** "Excellent resource for American English"
Merriam-Webster is the definitive reference for American English.
-- Archer 射手, 2017-04-03

### ***** "One for all"
Great simple and easy
-- スパーマリオ, 2017-02-24

### ***** "Good"
Good to use.
-- Rikuinnnn, 2017-02-23

### ***** "Great app"
Frequent updates and easy to use
-- sean_oki, 2017-02-03

### ***** "Please support with picture"
Please deliver picture every words
-- Murataly, 2017-01-13

### ***** "Easy To Underatand"
It Is Easy To Understand.
-- 丹波焼, 2016-12-20

### ****- "Good dictionary"
It is easy to use with good explanation. Some words are explained with drawings and they help me understanding. I like OXFORD's dictionary too. The Merryam-webster is as good as it.
-- Tarinai ergo, 2016-12-04

### ***** "音声が聞ける"
音声が聞けるのが良い．シソーラスとの切り替えも簡単．語彙数もlearner'sより多い．
-- Ahonen, 2016-11-17

### ***** "Very nice"
解释简介大方，还有很多例句和用法。搜索方便词库大。很值得
-- イロハ青, 2016-10-30

### ***** "Good apps"
It is a very comprehensive dictionary. I love the way to learn new words in this app.
