Terminology Dictionary Reviews

Great utility, fun to use..

• What he said!! LoL!! • But what he said describes it perfectly.. I love this program.. I look up stuff all the time.. Often a word is used and I want a better understanding of what was written. Just select the word and then share w "Te", and you'll get a great answer.. When you select done, it takes you back to where you were and closes Te.. Very tidy!!

Ads worried me but developer response allayed my concerns. A good app.

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.

Pay again for an app with insipid adds.

Bought this app when it cost money and now they are asking for more?! The reason I purchased the app was to reward the developer for a pay model rather than a BS free app I needed to unlock. Unfortunately what I am left with is a BS app I paid for that needs to be unlocked. And just to be completely clear, the app developer's business model or poor planning to recoup costs is NONE OF MY BUSINESS. My business is the add-free app I purchased for money. So, one star until it is resolved.

Love it

I find myself researching words all the time now. It's a way better experience than a website.

Thanks for buy, but now it's free and has ads you have to pay to remove

I bought this app, as simple as it was, and liked it. Now because they did an update they want more money. Sorry, not going to happen. I will not trust them with my money again. How long until I have to pay them a subscription or more money to look up more than 2 words in a day? Lost a customer.

Great App, Great Devs

I requested a feature and they implemented it! Awesome devs and an invaluable app for all your searching needs.

Developers That Listen!

I hardly ever write reviews for apps. I could count the number of reviews I've written on one hand and still have fingers to spare. I need to be really impressed by an app or app developer to get me to write a positive review. This is one of those times. Agile Tortoise listens to its customers. I'm talking Savage Inc. (developers of the art app Procreate, the finest app on the App Store in my opinion) levels of dedication and care. I submitted very specific feedback on a very specific area of Terminology not even a week ago (seriously, it was Sunday). I saw there was an update today for Terminology and I was floored to see my specific request fulfilled and mentioned in the change log. So thank you, Agile Tortoise. You've made my list of top tier developers and Terminology has made my list of "never delete" apps.

Greed

i-phony

Why spoil a good thing? Inserting ads sure is a way to make money, but for those who had purchased your app before you changed your app business model, even for them? That's quite low. Disappointing. Deleted.

Early customers neglected by developers

loslorenzos

I understand developers need to monetize their business. However, early supporters of the app should have been upgraded to, at least, an ad-free version. This approach was followed by countless others. I hope they rectify the course or I will delete and forget Terminology.

Some interface refinements

Somewhere along the way, the user interface was cleaned up, although I still refer the pre-fixed sparse looking version. At least it's less cluttered. These guys do pay attention which is a good thing. Adding back some stars and plunking down my coffee money for the Pro version because Agile Tortoises need to eat too. Thanks guys!
