Dictionary.com: English Words

Good

I like a lot. It's easy to use and explained every word when I needed help.

One of the best apps ever made :) thanks soooo much :)

This app severely lacking. Not nearly enough words, some simple words that should appear when searched. Only gave 2 stars because the thesaurus is decent.

I use this app daily. It’s a necessity for working the daily crossword puzzle.

I recently needed a new phone, and at the top of my APPS to install was DICTIONARY! I know it is invaluable to this teacher of English, because no other vocation is so carefully monitored for spelling and grammatical errors than that one. Thank you for your greatly appreciated. HELP.

The app is awfully slow when using the it extensively. I avoided writing this review in hopes for an update, but at this time it’s been at least months of this unacceptable performance. Action needs to be taken immediately to avoid mine and others irritation and frustration. Please make an update ASAP. Thank you.

The learners tab was what made this app stand out and now it’s *poof*, bring it back please and thank you. This app has just been very disappointing in the past year or so; to many issues and now you guys took off one of the best parts.

Overall, this is a great app for its ease of use and simple navigation between dictionary and thesaurus. There are a lot of blog-style articles with quick and entertaining info related to words, grammar and language. One thing I feel would be a helpful improvement would be a dedicated section under a searched word that displays all forms of that word. The app does display “Other words from ______” but a lot of the time it only shows the word with different prefixes or suffixes, or slightly different words that contain the original word. I’m constantly searching a word just to check all the different forms of a specific word and it’s just not available a lot of the time. Also, even after disabling WOTD and SOTD notifications in the app, I still get daily notifications for both.
