Early Days

Ive literally only had the app 5 mins and its asked for a review. I did a word search online and ended up playing a word game at the end of the definition, i was then prompted to save my score by creating an account which I didn’t want to do as we all have too many of them so I checked out the app and now I have that access without the emails, notifications and everything else that comes with an account.
Loving it so far.

Love it

This is my favourite app. Informative, fun, easy to use with definitions of words; original meanings; quizzes of words both old and new plus a word of the day. I thought my vocabulary was quite good, but it is improving daily! As I love to read and find the English language fascinating, I can’t recommend this app highly enough.

Same App, Pay Twice

I, like many other Merriam-Webster users, bought their Collegiate dictionary a while back for a purchase price of AUD$30. Now, with iOS 11, they stop support for that app and—weeks later—release a “brand new” dictionary requiring existing customers to pay again ... to remove ads.

This is shameful behaviour. Imagine you buy an app and then it stopped working. The developer refuses to update it. The next day, the same company releases basically the same app, but wants you to pay again to use it. Absolutely shameful behaviour, and I’m surprised Apple would allow this.
