WordBook (Universal) Reviews

Very useful App

B.Evald on

Denmark

I use this app quite often it seldom fails me with missing words. I believe it is among the best dictionaries available in App Store.

The worst app experience I've had.

Kornum on

Denmark

It keeps crashing and is buggy as h***!

The best

s-f-k on

United States

This is the best word tool - I use it all the time

Solid dictionary app just one thing.

Cutedogsandcats on

United States

Great definitions and I really enjoy that you can recursively click any word and hop into it’s own word definition. I do wish the root origins of a word were more elaborate though.

Update coming?

thegreyarea on

United States

Seems a shame this excellent app hasn’t been updated in many years.

Some Words Not Listed

shutterfx on

United States

Used the free version for a couple years, then found that some common words are not listed, so purchased the ‘newer’ version and Dang! There are still missing words. Look up the word ‘TART’. I should have listed the others but this is the last word and the last time. Paying for something that is no better than the previous free version.

Was Excellent

Krug j. on

United States

Was my best dictionary and spelling checker. Now it occasionally freezes up, and the volume control is glitchy. Also needs word update.

Maddening

damnitdaviddevonhirschfield3 on

United States

Free version for iPhone is better that paid on iPad Air5. For instance full functionality is available only in landscape. The Puzzle Solver and other function icons are most often obscured by the Keypad. MADDENING! I’d like my $2.99 back and then use the free version.

Please update for iPad, keeps crashing

b3nrules on

United States

Using the latest iPad pro and the app is just not very optimized for this iPad and keeps crashing and very buggy. Fix please!

Sorry I bought this

RLandlaus on

United States

Just be a dictionary!! When I search for a word it always comes in third position in the list even when I intentionally write the whole word, why? I don’t want to systematically see whatever previous search!! Why can’t I change that behavior?! Etc.
