Roget's II: New Thesaurus

Where are the antonyms? What kind of thesaurus only lists synonyms? Give me my money back!

it would be very helpful to me if the list of synonyms was sorted by parts of speech… separating nouns, verbs, adj, etc. now i must search a list of 200 words (of all types) to find one of perhaps 40 nouns i’ve quit using roget because of this

I’m not a fan of the UI. It’s not clean or modern, but if the app works, I can live with clunky UI. The problem is that I need the thesaurus to be useful. Roget’s II lists a hodgepodge of obscure words as synonyms. Look up “wet”. Asinine, brainless, drunk, disguised, impregnate… Are these British slang? I just want another word to describe something sopped with moisture. Shouldn’t a thesaurus let me filter for meaning? Shouldn’t it limit itself to adjectives like the original word? In this app, nouns, adjectives, and verbs are jumbled together. “It’s wet outside” is not the same as “It’s evening mist outside” or “It’s foolheaded outside” or “It’s guzzle outside.” I could live with associated words and phrases as long as they were filtered for meaning, but this output is chaos. Now type this into ChatGPT instead: Give me ten synonyms for “wet” in the sentence “It’s wet outside.” Instant gratification. My suggestion isn’t to incorporate AI into your app and tack GPT to the name, but to offer a more sensible output with more relevant results. Filter by meaning. Filter by the parts of speech. Please be more innovative. That’s something computers can’t mimic yet.

This used to work perfectly. Now it doesn’t work at all. It continuously sends me prompts to download a new version but… THERE ISN”T ONE. There also isn’t anyone home at customer support. This has been going on for weeks. Tragic, because it used to be a 5 star product.

Also getting download new version followed immediately by crash. Same with Oxford English Dictionary. Crash sends me directly back to App Store

Tried Roget’s II on multiple devices. You can use it for a few minutes before it gives the error “Total Failure” and crashes. Uninstalling it does not help. “Total Failure” is the perfect description of this app.

Used to work, but now just takes me to the app store. What is this?

This app is fine but it’s started to fail consistently. When launched it simply shows an X and the phrase “total failure.” Nothing appears to resolve this. What a pity!

I bought this app a month ago and was working flawlessly. Yesterday, I tried using it due to a notification that say download new version. I went to the app store ro see if there is an update but there is none. Tried to email the developer but even on the email support for the app store ad would not allow me to open.

I’m stunned at the negative reviews here. I use it daily and find it an invaluable tool for my thinking/writing. It’s stable, easy to read and width every penny.
