Can you add a way to review your favorites? I understand there can be varying definitions for a word, so flash cards could be dealt with a way to favorite a specific definition of a word, perhaps. Maybe a quiz as well. The definitions used in this app are the most succinct, which allows one to recall new words much easier

The definitions are not sourced from a sober reliable source like Merriam-Webster or Oxford. They come from Princeton University’s WordNet Lexical database. The words in this database are written by WordNet’s lexicographers—BIASED lexicographers perhaps. If you read definitions for words like “progressive” or “conservative” and then compare those definitions and synonyms to said sober sources, you will notice quite a difference. Dictionaries are supposed to be objective reference books and not a setting for individuals to weight the focus of a definition toward ones personal world view. That’s dishonest. Now Agile Tortoise might be basically honest programmers who, focused on the machinery of making an elegant app, did not consider the purity of their source. But as any programmer knows, garbage in, garbage out. This tool is passing through some garbage from WorldNet, which has some of ITS source from a common lexicon from New York University called COMLEX. So it is unclear where the pollution entered the system. It could have been a dishonest NYU student who put a personal touch in while working on the project, who knows. But you can see how disinformation slips in in large complicated systems where people are too busy to proctor the details. Just be forewarned to take some of these definitions with a grain of salt. This is no “American Heritage” dictionary.

UPDATED REVIEW IN RESPONSE TO DEVELOPER FEEDBACK:The developers addressed my concerns about the ads, particularly about whether the ad SDK is active if the ads are eliminated thru in-app purchases. Upping my review to 5 stars for the app and the helpful developer response, and will buy the pro version. I would still advise other users: pay to get rid of the ads. Ads are evil. Really. Cough up a couple bucks, pay your developers, give the finger to the creepy ad companies. Original review:Developers who integrate an ad platform usually don't have very direct/specific knowledge about exactly how that ad SDK uses or abuses the app's permissions. So Agile Tortoise probably didn't specifically intend this thing to send my location to the ad company so they can track me and deliver ads customized to the places I've traveled in the past few weeks. But it's happening. So this app is dead to me.I could pay to get rid of the ads, but there's no guarantee that getting rid of the *display* of ads will keep the SDK from tracking me in the background anyway.The location-specific ad targeting creeped me the hell out. I would have cheerfully purchased an app like this but the "we're installing invasive adware, but if you pay us then we won't show you the ads but for all you know the adware is still surveilling you" model is not one I can get behind.Nope, nope, and nope.

I bought this app a long time ago, and have had absolutely no use for it. It was generally more awkward to use than the built-in iOS dictionary or just jumping out to Safari, and if it had any hidden utility at all, it was buried under a stark, uninviting UI. I like supporting small developers, but always regretted throwing money at something I never used.PROBLEM SOLVED. The new share extension is pretty close to perfect, bringing together the app's native data, Apple's dictionary, Wikipedia, and Google in a UI that does exactly what I expect, as efficiently as possible. (The app itself is cleaned up, too, although I don't expect to spend much time in it.) And the new pricing model makes it a no-brainer to try.This is the kind of happy ending you hope for with App Store experiences. Highly recommended.

April 16, 2021I saw the option to review﹠felt compelled to contribute my thoughts. I installed Terminology in 2018﹠I use it throughout every day. In all sincerity, Terminology changed my life. I learned quickly that the app could be beneficial to my work. Once I setup the customizable links, my research was leaps﹠bounds ahead of prior weeks...I finished my tasks quicker﹠was more effective overall: mostly due to the customizable link feature that’s integrated in the app —it’s basically an extremely helpful shortcut, it eliminates the need to switch between multiple apps, or between Safari﹠Terminology...everything can be searched in Terminology without constant switching between app-apps﹠app-Safari or even app-notes app, it’s all eliminated when you use Terminology’s custom web links﹠the dictionary notes that you can edit on every single word you search. I’ve not seen any other app that even comes close to resembling Terminology, in its respective category, or even one of its features. 1) Is Terminology worthy of an install?? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━YES!!

This is simply the best dictionary and thesaurus I've used. I get results of more definitions and better word relations on average than anywhere else. Also like the 'Drafts' app, the ability to dynamically change the text display size is also included, so for those of us who have good vision, we can maximize the use of our displays. Its offline capabilities are also the necessity that many 'app' dictionaries lack. This means I can use it for my primary purpose, perfectly. A instant lookup and usage verification tool. Many words don't mean what you think they do, and this app has forever expanded my ability to communicate. If you try and become accustomed to using this app, I promise you the same. Buy it. This app is easily worth $20 or more (I paid much less).
