Many times, whenever I press the speaker button to hear the audio pronunciation of words, error message appears "Network access is required". The problem is only solved when I close the app, and after that it works fine. If it happened just once in a while, I would have ignored it, but the issue keeps recurring in an annoying way.
Excellent reference. Frustrating user interface. 1. When starting a search on opening the app or after long inactivity, the onscreen keyboard closes abruptly and I must tap and restart my search. 2. When reading an entry, any touch on the screen jumps to the entry for the word touched. Then... 3. There is no easy way to return after such an accident: neither the Android "back" button nor a search history. I reported these at least twice over the years but nothing has changed.
Update made the app useless! This app used to work flawlessly, but since the last update I keep receiving "not enough storage space" errors, and I can't look up anything. I am also unable to log onto the app with ny username/password. The website recognizes my login info without any issues, the app "can't find" my account 🤔. Emailed support with only an automated response, and no solution back. Premium users should get better customer service than that.
Fantastic and informative, larger than other dictionary apps with neat games and a word of the day. Only wish we could submit words to be added to the next version. Still have to search 5% of words elsewhere. Great overall and so thankful there are no ads!!!! Hard enough to jump from text to dictionary without an ad distracting me. Thanks MW for great dictionaries online and on paper!
The best dictionary available. It's easy to use, has a clean interface, and accepts both type and voice queries. It also contains word quizes to help strengthen your vocabulary. As well as a "Word of the Day" vocabulary builder. In General, this is a fantastic dictionary/thesaurus. Oh, did I mention, it also has a thesaurus with it? The Premium version is worth every penny, I recommend purchasing that straight away after installing. One more thing worth mentioning; this app NEVER crashes.
While not as complete as the Unabridged edition from Paragon when they were licensed to distribute, the addition of the thesaurus is handy sometimes. This edition appears to lack a complete list of entries, alphabetically arranged or otherwise, akin to having the book in my hands. Maybe it's not a requested feature by the majority any longer and I'm just an old GenX person out of touch with reality.
This is an amazing app and an incredible companion for those who like to read. It helps me tackle more difficult texts and increase my vocabulary. One suggestion I have is being able to create groups of words looked up. That way I can group words I looked up from a particular book. That would be an amazing feature. Thanks for this essential app
This is the abridged version. I bought this thinking it would be the complete and unabridged M-W dictionary and it's not. So for definitions of rare or archaic words, you have to go to the web site, which - surprise - asks you to pay again for the unabridged dictionary. The app itself is fast and works well. My complaint is primarily with the content.
Can't say it's okay on account that it is lacking on several words now; the latest one being 'selacious'. (Has it on their website though) Oh I appreciate the app dearly but i don't know, I thought it is like the go-to dictionary and so i don't understand why it would have all the werdzzz. Also, you have to know the correct spelling of the word, otherwise your search will come up empty; allowing for suggestions with the search engine would be helpful.
This dictionary serves my needs for having a tool to quickly define words with examples of how to use the words. Also includes synoyms for word replacements. IMHO, the available recent word look up list can be like having bookmarks. Text is easy to see. Only thing is the pronounciation voice icon next to the words do not work on my phone; don't know why or how to fix if there is one.
