Ratings and Reviews
What have you done!
What’s this new “Did you mean?” tab all about? But worst of all, when a search result is displayed, the outline favourites icon flashes briefly then disappears. Ergo, since your update I can’t add anything to my favourites list. Yes, I have deleted and reinstalled the app. You’ve just screwed up what was a brilliant app!
Update: I’m used to being ignored when reporting buggy apps. Not these guys though. Within only two days they admitted the bugs, fixed them, and posted the update. All the while keeping me informed by email. Back up to five stars now but given the level of support I received, they most certainly deserve an extra star. Very impressive, and my favourite app of all time is working properly again.
Developer Response ,
Delighted to hear that. We were glad to have been able to get that fix out quickly, and appreciated your patience.
Thanks for taking the time to share your kind words about our Support Team. They work hard and it is lovely to hear when our customers notice and appreciate it.
Thank you for being a long-time user of our app!
What’s going on?
I use this app constantly for university work and more generally which is why I paid for the pro version.
Recently the app has only allowed me to do one word search, the second search freezes the app and I have to close and reopen it. This is very annoying when you have to get through a piece of writing. I’ve checked for an update but can’t see anything. Needs some bug fixing, so sort it out!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your note, and sorry to hear of the trouble. We'd recommend you go ahead and quickly uninstall the app, then reinstall it from your app store purchases. That may help sort out the trouble. Thanks for using our app!
Pretty brilliant however…
…sadly the app crashes now and then; not a huge issue and I am, after all, on a ye-olden iPhone 6s. I keep the phone and all my apps updated (and check daily).
The only reason I’m not giving this 5 stars is that sometimes only American English (vs English English, usually contains a ‘z’ for the former where we’d use an ‘s’ in the latter😁) spellings appear. It’s important to me to always write correctly and it’s a wee bit frustrating to not always have this pointed out when UK English spellings *do* exist.
It’s actually really hard to find clarified in app descriptions (if at all) which variation is used. However, I’ve paid for this one and I love it. I’m just a bloody pedant 🤣
