Doctor
Best app on my smartphone. Great information with etymology. Only if once you find a favourite word, you didn’t, once reading its meaning, you didn’t end back at the start and search the same words.
Infinite source of information on word meanings and importantly their origins. Word of the day, l never miss it. I only wish l had this appetite for knowledge when younger. Love the app.
Grizzly Bear.
I still enjoy and value the app. But, my word of the day doesn’t refresh every day and takes up to a week to catch up. I need to turn my phone on and off to refresh. I have to go to my emails to retrieve word of the day. And now I can’t do W O T D quiz on email. Still use the app frequently though l love it otherwise.
Annoying
I used to like this app but after recent updates it has become incredibly annoying to use. I scroll down to read the definitions of a word and the top part of the page suddenly expands to hide half the information. Sure I scroll up again and the information fills the screen again, but you can't just scroll up, you have to scroll down to read what's there. So you're forced to read in a tiny gap where you can only see a few lines of text at once.
Please do away with this ridiculous animation effect and restore usability. Thank you.
Added Dec 2018: Updated to latest version but horrible UI hasn't been fixed. App obviously not meant to be used on older iPhones.
Problem #2: the stories and articles are in the smallest possible font, and in light grey. I literally cannot read them. Zooming in makes the type bigger but also makes the lines too long for the screen so I have to continually pan left & right.
This app is just too annoying with no consideration given to a pleasant user experience. I give up, looking for another dictionary.

Alternate View
I love this App and have used it for years. The only frustration with it is that it doesn’t work in landscape. If you are creating a document or email and need to look up a word, you have to detach the keyboard and rotate the iPad. It would be wonderful to have the app auto-rotate like most other Apps. I would be happy to pay for it too.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. While our app doesn't currently support landscape mode, we are always looking for ways to improve our user's experience! We will pass this along to our team for consideration in future updates.
Thank you for being a long-time user of our app.
