All the other dictionary apps I tried were loaded with random annoying stuff like quizzes and bad graphic design. This is a nice dictionary for those who already speak pretty good English and want to look up words now and then. Thanks for the nice, clean app!!
Search bar is not working
Suraj Paneru
I love wordweb, have been using it since highschool (so 8 years) but when I downloaded it through the Apple store, the search bar does not work, i can't input my cursor in the search bar. When I try to type anything, I get the sound macbook gives when there is nowhere to input the letter that was clicked. I can do all actions through my mouse, but its not useful at all if I can't look up the word I wanted to look up. Both 'Lookup' and 'Search' function has the same problem. I hope the team looks into this!
Excellent

Best cross-reference that I know of. You have a word and want to know alternatives, the opposite, stronger or weaker, similiar but different words? Download this.Newest update makes Wordweb better looking and faster, just maybe swap "Search" and "X-Ref" for improved usability.
Full text search, iOS26 updates. New words and definitions.
