    The need for a subscription service to access some portions of the app that used to be free is very concerning for the freedom of information in the modern age. At the moment, I’ll just have to use other alternatives, which can help with the privacy issues in the user data usage. But I really hope that in the future these issues don’t exist. Because they don’t need to.

    Great app, but could be better with word recognition for misspelling, and more synonyms. Keep up with the good work, it’s appreciated.

    The MW is a useful dictionary for the most part. I like that one can hear the proper pronunciation of words. But still there are many words that are defined using the word to be defined, which is no help at all. That is improper in any definition.
  • Great app

    Great for looking for a definition
  • Ads get in the way

    I love the dictionary and all the other uses that this app has, I just feel like the ads get in the way sometimes… I’d be better with less, or even maybe no ads, probably not possible but… anyway
  • This dictionary is a scam

    Every time I launch this so-called dictionary it tries to scam me for money. If this is the quality of app that I can expect on my ipad then maybe I don’t need an ipad anymore. I’m going to see it there’s a way to report this thing for fraud once i finish this review.
  • Love it! Don’t know how I could do without it.

    Especially being able to select another word in the definition and have it defined. Try trigonometric for a slice heaven.
