Underrated- the most useful dictionary
I usually read books when I’m nearing bedtime or myself commuting from/to work. Having an offline dictionary to quickly look up unhelpful English words can speed things up. But all other dictionary were connected to online services, so I always wanted something offline. This dictionary was the answer. It has got bookmarking, relevance matching etc. I just don’t know why this is not rated and ranked higher in App Store.
Best English to English dictionary
I have been using this app for 15 years
Text Size
This would be vastly improved if there was a settings option that is easily accessible to alter the size of the text.
This is developer 101 at uni and I’m surprised that it’s not breaking disability laws in some countries.
Must do better
Brilliant
I’ve used WordWeb for years on my desktop and now on iPad. I wouldn’t be without it. It came in handy especially while doing BA and MA degrees.
Considerate and Magnanimous
This dictionary despite being unpaid, has got full coverage of words and advert-free user experience. I have been looking for this and thanks for making this a reality.
Great for all ages
This app is amazing for word definitions, the definitions are easy to understand and remember. It comes with synonyms for each word, and even vague synonyms if you want a rough definition. This app is great but I think it should also have antonyms for the words too. Thanks for this app
Wordweb
I love this app because it helps you and tells you how to pronounce stuff.
Very handy been using since decade
Good app easy to use
Best
This is the best free dictionary out there I’ve used it for years. All you have to do is try it and if you don’t like it you can always remove it but I don’t think you will be disappointed.
Lost wordweb since my last update
I have always had the free version of wordweb on my iPad , however following the last update , it refused download even though it says that it can be downloaded to this iPad ,
Over the years I have found wordweb very useful and would like to get it back , I have tried everything to no avail .
