I would recommend!

I would recommend this, 100%. The only problem is some words aren’t in the dictionary, and some don’t have synonyms/antonyms, even when I can make some up (yes, I could have just gone with the one I made, no big deal, but that’s not the point!). Overall, great app!

Edit: One other thing I’d like to add would be that you cannot split-screen the app, but as that is not a major issue I don’t really mind.

Developer Response ,

Our Lexicographers are hard at work expanding and improving our Dictionary and Thesaurus. We'll be sure to share your suggestions on including more synonyms, as well as the split-screen app view, along to our teams. Thanks for your kind review, and for using our app!

Confusing in-app ad-free unlock.

Thought I had bought the upgrade. Took my money. But ads still appeared. Ended up having to go to pro version and pay for that version. Just confusing. In the off-line world purchases seem a little more straight forward. If you buy it, you see it. Online with ads has the annoying lack of allure of ads that might not go away if the program has a glitch.

Anyway the pro version is good. Just wanted to know what I was going to get before buying, which was why I got this free version first. The free version has a glitch in the upgrade function, from my own experience.

Too many "upgrade" ads despite buying no-ads

I bought the no-ads in-app purchase, but the app still contains buttons that only leads you to in-app purchases.

For example, below each definition are some options such as seeing example sentences, but those buttons serve no purpose at all except to lead you to purchase that add-on. Furthermore, for each definition, there's an "upgrade" tab continuously visible on the top.

For this reason, I prefer using free online dictionaries that provides all the paid features for free.
