Adds

I can accept the fact that you need adds to stay in business, but when I have to close out of your app in order to get rid of an add is wrong. If you can’t control this I will be trying a different company.
Excellent

Best app for looking up words. Even words from the Bible or different dialect from English to Hebrew. Very good app. It’s a must have.
I recommend the app!

Free what?

Of what use is an app that slaps an ad across the entire screen that can’t be closed? An easy fix - delete FreeDictionary.
Not sure what happened
bqw149
Somehow the language is changed and I’m not able to use the app. Settings are not consumer friendly
Lack of important words and definitions that 'need' added to dictionary, right now.

The word or base word 'pan' as in *pandemic* is n o w h e r e in the Farlex dictionary app. I wondered why the majority of people in my country, the USA are so cavalier about not following basic, simple guidelines like wearing masks. No social distancing, gathering in hoards to join trump in his insanity reality rallies. So i started wondering if pandemic or it's base word PAN is even in the dictionaries for people to look up and maybe begin to understand the direness of this virus and what it actually means. It's not chicken pox, polio, this is new and we know next to nothing about it and I think it MUST be entered into every major dictionary immediately with an in depth definition of how all invasive it actually is. I hope you will consider this and your lon list of pan this and that, probably at least 30 uses or meanings with PAN. But not one has pandemic. Thank you.

I admire this app for the cleverness of keeping your interest peaked. Word games and history teaches are delightful.
