Very disappointed.

Stick with Wolfram Alpha - this app excels at nothing other than chipping away at your net worth and increasing your icon count by one.
Engle's App of the Day

This does not replace a dictionary … rather, it adds useful utilities to a good internet dictionary, plus it is fun to use, which is why I have honored the Wolfram Words Reference App as my app of the day … this app may make me into a great poet for now I can rhyme :)
I'm sorry, not impressed.

I usually like Wolf's products but this one is not very refined. Search engine seems to not understand more often than what it should. Not an improvement over my regular dictionary. I'd think that typing/pasting in the word once would be enough. I'll keep it, now that I've bought it, in hopes that improvements are in the works. I'd love to give this app 5 stars.
Amazing!!!

This app is ok it has a lot of choice and it's great for scrabble but it needs to stop crashing everytime I go on it plz fix
Really isn't that much different...

UI needs work as there are top header black space issues...plus it's not that much different then regular Wolfram Alpha it just organizes the categories pertaining to word choices you searching for. If you own Wolfram Alpha I would not recommend this Words addition since it does all this and more already.
