Ratings and Reviews
Paid upgrades needing to be re uploaded.
I now know that some of the upgrades are not sourced from the same area, I have purchased them all, so if I clear memory or website data they are deleted also, and have to be reloaded, science and medical, it’s not the end of the world but a bit annoying.
Falling short...
I would like to give this app a good review. I have it installed on my iPad mini & I use it a lot. I have the ad-free paid for version & have also acquired most, if not all, of the in-app purchases. However, I just got an iPod touch (64GB 5G) for greater portability & it is not available from my iCloud repository for installation onto my new device. It does appear to be to be available in the app-store but it looks like I would have to pay for everything a second time. Or download the free version & put up with the damned ads. NOT HAPPY!
I would recommend that anyone considering this app take a look at WordWeb which is based on Princeton university's WordNet project. It is genuinely free & the app is maintained & kept up to date.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for taking the time to share these thoughts. We currently don't support saved history or favorited words across devices or apps, as we do not have user accounts. That said, we will be sure to take this as feedback and share with our app team for them to consider in future updates. Thanks again, for sharing.
Very good app
Very good app but lacks images/ pictures. A picture is worth thousands of words. So, having a picture in definitions for some words eg. names of instruments, food items, internal body organs etc will be very welcome. Desperately waiting for that.
