Ratings and Reviews
One Nitpick, but otherwise, gets the Job Done
First off, great app. Well done, developers. However, I believe the app would benefit greatly if users could provide custom words or definitions (for existing words) for their word lists. In some situations, I find myself wishing to study certain words that either do not appear in the dictionary due to their niche nature, or their available definitions don’t quite match the pragmatics of how I wish to use them.
Too bad
I’ve been using this app (free version) for a number of years and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately it’s been giving me issues lately, even after uninstalling and reinstalling. I can’t view the definitions in word of the day feature from my phone but it works on my watch. And a times the app failed to find a definition of a word even if it has auto-suggested the word from the search bar. After many years, probably over a decade, I’ve decided to uninstall and opt for another dictionary app. Please fix in the meantime
Problem
I have been using the dictionary for a few years but since the last update it just will not open on my phone!
I have deleted it three times an reloaded but you click on the app and it comes up as if it is going to open but then just shrinks back to the app on the phone. What is wrong with it?
