I very much enjoy this app and keep it on the first screen of my phone. People are constantly using words in new ways, and I like to look them up just to see the original meaning and usage. My only suggestion (and why I removed one star) is that I wish there was a more complete etymology of each word. That’s what I find really interesting.

This is by far the most expansive dictionary, but has a ridiculous amount of ads on the free version. When it comes to archaic words, non-American spellings, and other wise unique phrases, this is the best dictionary. However, if you occasionally need to find a definition or pronunciation, you shouldn’t use this dictionary, the ads will drive you mad.

Wondrastoopilous!! My daily companion, as I’m always curious about definitions and pronunciations. I revisit words by testing my memory’s remembered definitions. It’s hard to beat having an interactive dictionary when testing my ability to break down unknown words as I’m attempting to blindly define. I wouldn’t change a thing about the app.

I paid for a premium account when I installed the app and have enjoyed an ad-free experience for more than a year. I just recently started having un-skippable minute-long ads show up after every other word—unbearable. When I go to my account information, I’m signed in, and it still says “Premium.” I would not have paid that big chunk of change, if it wasn’t really going to be premium. When it’s just being a dictionary, it’s great. Now, seems like a scam. Super disappointed.

I purchased this app a long time ago so that I wouldn’t have to deal with advertising. Now they have changed their terms and make you pay monthly or annually to avoid advertising or to get the same service you once purchased. Poor company and business practices! I would like a refund on my original purchase because I never would’ve purchased their product if this was going to be the terms of their service. Waste of money.

The dictionary is great and the app works well, but they've started pushing not only for money for a premium version, but specifically a subscription. There are way too many subscriptions lately. The worst part is that they've taken existing features and locked them behind premium instead of just coming up with new added features to be premium. You can't listen to the audio files of words anymore without premium, and if you do click the button you get a full pop-up that you have to close as opposed to a small notification or just turning the button off entirely. I also had an ad appear after a certain number of definitions, which hasn't happened to me before, and while I haven't encountered anything yet, it says that premium gives "unlimited definitions" so now I fear they may have put a limit on how many times you can even use it. That and I thought the offline download was free or maybe a one time payment, but now it's just a subscription. Knowledge should not be gatekept and while I understand a need to make money, it seems to me like they're doing too much when they've been running for free with these features for so long. Companies always choose profits over people.
