## Merriam Reviews in United States

### ***** "Lime"
Green
-- Lily Urrutia, 2025-01-25

### ****- "Widget Large White Border Fixed"
Thanks for having fixed the widget white border issue in the latest release!
-- PLGLSE, 2025-01-20

### ****- "Fix app immediately"
This was a great app until I experienced frequent crashes. Can this issue be resolved quickly?
-- Almighty A.B., 2025-01-08

### ***** "AWESOME"
FANTASTIC DICTIONARY
-- Bud-Kathleen, 2025-01-02

### ***** "Best"
Best online dictionary. Easy to navigate. Word of Day, Word Games, and Saved Words all excellent.
-- Wboz555, 2024-12-29

### ***** "Worth every penny"
This app is top notch. It works well and has Merriam-Webster’s high-quality content along with great features like recorded pronunciations. You pay once and download it for offline access. There are no ads or distractions. The app design is great. I can’t recommend this app highly enough.
-- Rowena Columbia, 2024-12-19

### ***** "Quick Access dictionary + thesaurus, and… games !!"
The Merriam-Webster dictionary is a must have.  It’s on my primary home page for quick access.  

Great UI… dictionary and thesaurus as well have relied on for so long from Merriam-Webster.

And they have fun and exciting vocabulary games.

Also check them out on YouTube, for videos explaining our wonderful language.

Thank you, Merriam-Webster team!
-- Mike VV., 2024-12-14

### ***** "Love the Merriam-Webster App"
Failure to grow your vocabulary is quite a shame! This app is an amazing and fun tool to replace writing unknown words on an index card tucked into my book. The games are also great!
-- Kevattagh, 2024-12-14

### *---- "Sad"
They’ve gone WOKE. Sad
-- not monticello, 2024-12-13

### ****- "Convenient"
It’ll tell you the meaning of “IMO” but chokes at “exeat”. As common with dictionaries, it has the bad habit of also defining words using that word or word root in its definition. For instance, if exeat was actually in the vocabulary, it would define “exeats” as “plural form of ‘exeat. ‘“
-- Etxxx, 2024-12-11

### ***** "Love this dictionary"
I really like having a dictionary at my fingertips. Also, so enjoyable to have Siri prompt me to go to the word of the day. The microphone allows you to speak the word if you’re stumped on the spelling. I have been on occasion.
-- jimsdebbie, 2024-12-06

### **--- "I need macOS version of this Merriam-Webster’s dictionary."
I like this dictionary app, but I need macOS version of this Merriam-Webster’s dictionary app.

Let’s make it, Merriam-Webster’s developer.
-- Gl.st. Sp., 2024-11-25

### ***** "This app be good."
I be loving this app. Third review: The word game referred to what is the name of a holy government Hagirachy (sp?) but it was not in dictionary. Great app. Glad there you are out there
-- Fredlit, 2024-11-16

### ***** "Pleasant and easy to use"
I really like how responsive the search is.
-- Mike in Arlington heights, 2024-11-11

### ***** "MB DICTIONARY"
EXCELLENTLY EDUCATIVE
-- Kmlst, 2024-10-20

### ***** "Simple, trustworthy, and I love the etymologies!"
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!
-- KevinGandolf, 2024-10-15

### ***** "Fabulous App"
Mind expanding!
-- iLikeMyTouch, 2024-10-15

### ***** "Premium Ad-free"
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!
-- dElllen22, 2024-10-11

### ***** "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.
-- nickel & diming me, 2024-10-06

### ***** "If I catch my kid with an Oxford I’m grabbing the belt!"
This is a Webster house!
-- myles0718, 2024-10-03
