12 years of use
Been using it since I came out 12 some years ago. Not sure what more you can ask for out of an app. It’s a dictionary. It has every word I look up.

Ridiculous!
This has to be THE WORST dictionary ever! A dictionary should define a word- Period! It does not need to list EVERY possible use of that word as a separate entry!! And should not list every phrase the word is used in as separate entries!! Type in “A”, “And”, “At”, etc- and there are literally HUNDREDS of entries for the word! A few examples can be easily listed in the definition, NOT as separate entries!! A dictionary SHOULD be scrollable- one should be able to type in a few letters and see the words beyond that in the entries, without having to change one letter to continue thru the list! For example: if I type “rad”… I should not have to change the “d” to an “e” to continue scrolling! Obscene slang words are generally not included in dictionaries, they are put in urban or slang dictionaries, and not listed hundreds of times in a row listing every slang phrase ever known! Misspelled words should not be listed as entries- the search feature would take a person to the proper spelling! Don’t bother with this dictionary, it is not worth the aggravation!!
