Can't say much about how good this is as a dictionarybecause the publisher doesn't bother to tell us that this isn't really free but rather a one-month trial...& even if not used during that month. Pretty sleazy, especially considering that it's already got ads. But any publisher that's simply does not tell you that what you're downloading isn't really free but just a trial just isn't honest enough to deserve any stars.
I turn to this dictionary when reading the challenging non-f iction which I always have at hand. I especially count on it's word histories, the Etymologies. I always have at least one book on hand that challenges me. ( Retired Teacher,who is past eighty.)
I bought this book believing that I would be able to use it in a way that is convenient for. To use it offline, I have to install it on my device, not on my SD card. The excuse for crippling this app in this way is copyright issues and licensing. Now, if I buy a paper book, I can put it in any room in my house that I want to, scan pages, photocopy it, loan it to others, and use it in many other ways--because I bought the book. Not so here. I only have a license, not ownership. NOT RECOMMENDED.
I have paid for premium yesterday. Still ads are apperaring and also asking to go for premium. I have never encountered this experience with any app. It's very pathetic. Pls fix this immediately to get 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Awaiting for your reply...
I wish I could give this ZERO STARS, as I did not know using this free only lasted a month. At least with other dictionary apps, I can still use them without having to pay. Even if I have to deal with ads. Big letdown here. Smfh
Not so good as my earlier Websters, but adaquate. Be nice to get rid of the word games just to get to the dictionary. No setting for that, insufficient settings to begin with.
I know that this app is very good and educational, if anyone make reading this app their habitual or constant habit, it will ready be fantastic for him or her. That's my view on this ,wonderful, educational app.
Terrific dictionary, that I have relied upon at all times during my literary pursuits. Entries are comprehensive.
The online version is useful to search for a word or two : Unfortunately, that too has a limit. The dictionary is not worth buying.
Don't think it should have access to all my data and info in my phone so that it can send me definitions of words! What's the sense of this? And can it put tags or hide things in my things. Just not good for me!
So very helpful is the Webster's Dictionary app! I've used the Webster's Dictionary for a while now, and it has helped me to determine the meaning of so very many words. I purchased my first Webster's Dictionary when I was a teenager, and at the age of 17. All of the meanings and words correct pronounciations came so very clear to me. And today the Webster's Dictionary is a very convenient app. Thanks! Webster's Dictionary app.
I love this app, and the words of the day with the meaning is awesome to read in the morning ,it is so great!!!!
Well developed Dictionary plus it has the offline option with is a plus.
Love this dictonary because give the etimology of the word first and even can be click on abreavation and took you right away. Easy to understand!
Terrible app can't use it unless you pay for premium (even with ads) it just doesn't work !!!
some kind of sham, accesses the free website. this is not wnwcd. search function not working correctly.
The ads and pop-ups are unbearable. no way to learn anything with this format
It is only for sale and 3 days trial only. Good luck to all the team members of this application 2022 🌷
There are better dictionaries totally free... The information you give isn't exact... I didn't like it !!!
Actually, sometimes I'm not happy because there was a time, I cnt find the words I wanted to see, but still I need to be patient to find out the words.. Thanks
Could the back arrow please take me back to search results instead of having to type the same search in over and over again??
I have seen a lot of words during my puzzle solving that aren't listed in this version of the dictionary.
It's a good app for the basic literature dictionary, I will purchase an extension later.
I like it because it should be new words Every Day's I can learn to increase my vocabulary.
Excellent dictionary. Works extreemely well with the Epub reader. zWish i could get the kifetime License.
Too much ads that i am going to uninstall it.
Best on line dictionary I have found with a very good spell checker. I recommend this dictionary APP.
I bought this app previously, now it's telling me I have to buy it again on my new phone, that my "trial is over". The app on my old phone still works, but it has no cloud account to remember my favorites or history. I have to return my old phone for a trade in, so I will lose access and I'm not paying again. Scam!
