Review and analysis

Merriam Webster provides a wide range of words and in-app functions in a user-friendly manner. However, if it is compared to other dictionary apps/sites, it does lag behind in a few options such as the ease and variety of thesaurus details. Moreover, it misses certain words which other contemporary dictionary apps have. The other important aspect which Merriam Webster fails to provide is the extensive ‘phrasal verbs’ and ‘idiomatic expressions’. Merriam Webster holds a reputable mind perception in users’ consumer behaviour. Yet, there is a room for improvement in the following aspects :
1. Provide phrasal verbs
2. Detail the entailing idioms
3. Increase word-range
4. Usage of words in discursive styles

With not great company....

sorry but when I used to take the help from English Wiktionary app, I was allowed to use any word to search without constraints. I was free. There were no charges on using that apps. There was also an option named Shuffle where i could learn unlimited new and effective words whenever i used to feel to absorb some knowledge without getting worried about Internet connection. But in this dictionary all things are rare even absent. I’m using this dictionary because my hands are tied, in this My iphone I ain’t allowed to install that app. And just due to being compelled I’m using this.
Hope you’ll put your little concentration on this point as well.
