Very disappointed
John John -12
I am very upset and disappointed with the 5.0.2 update. YOU TOOK AWAY THE SIMPLICITY AND UNDERSTANDABILITY OF THE USER INTERFACE!!! To be clear, the dictionary was the one NONNEGOTIABLE app I have kept on my phone for the last 5 years, and it is NOT the same experience with 5.0.2. And the word history scroll bar was taken away too. Can’t. Believe it. To me, ease of use is everything with the dictionary. I don’t want a new look or layout or feel, I just want familiarity, simplicity and the definition of a word!

I have a paid Android App account that is not accessible by Apple iOS application. Any near future capabilities? Otherwise, would probably rate higher... 3.5 for now...
Bad touch detection

The clicks are way too sensitive. Every time I wanted to click on “Thesaurus,” it goes back to homepage, it annoys me a lot.

Horrible update

I used to love this app. Until, that is, they changed their structure to only include bare-bones "collegiate definitions" unless you are willing to pay some fees to get full definitions and etymological information. This is quite concerning to me, as an issue of gatekeeping language itself based on financial disparities. I was happy to put up with advertisements when I could access full definitions--I understand that they have a right to make money off their service. I can't understand why they chose to instead double down on their profit-seeking and literally bar access to their own service which should be public domain ALWAYS.
