I actually use this app just about every day.I just saw that it hadn’t had many people leaving a rating or a review so I thought I’d leave one.I have tried other dictionary apps in the past but ended up deleting them because I found this one to be the best of the ones I tried.For this reason, I’ve never tried to find a better one because it helps me with 99% of my queries.
The only dictionary you’ll ever need!

Working offline, Wordweb is wonderful. It doesn’t have a shortage of words, definitions, antonyms and anything else you can think of. It’s easy to use, informative and useful— we even use it for school work! I highly recommend this app, great work guys!!
Best dictionary app so far

I have been using this app for several years and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dictionary app that is clean and add-free. Good thing is you can also bookmark words.
Just a slight problem

Since the latest update iOS 13.0, the previous word isn’t being cleared away. Usually when you close the app down and open it back up for another word search- the previous word has gone and is clear to type the new word in. Lately the old word is still there. Please fix. Thanks 🌺
Developer Response
