| 2022-09-06 |  | | It's nice to know I'll have a dictionary at my fingertips just in case I need it. One problem: I paid for this on September 3rd; I keep getting messages saying my trial date is over and I need to pay up. I have already paid up! |
| 2022-09-01 |  | | I had the paperback edition of this dictionary and I use it a lot I love it then and I love the app now It is one of the dictionaries that I have in my smartphone Awesome app It one of the app that really worth buying |
| 2022-04-17 |  | | I turn to this dictionary when reading the challenging non-f iction which I always have at hand. I especially count on it's word histories, the Etymologies. I always have at least one book on hand that challenges me. ( Retired Teacher,who is past eighty.) |
| 2022-03-14 |  | | I bought this app previously, now it's telling me I have to buy it again on my new phone, that my "trial is over". The app on my old phone still works, but it has no cloud account to remember my favorites or history. I have to return my old phone for a trade in, so I will lose access and I'm not paying again. Scam! |
| 2021-11-27 |  | | Great for derivations but I used to have (Derivations) in blue so I could make a chain down them, get to the bottom, oldest Derivations and achieve clarity of derivation, then come back up the chain without being kicked off to the main dictionary. Anyone know how to turn it back on? This problem happened when I switched from HTC U 11 to Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5 G. This was the best feature of the App. HELP PLEASE. |
| 2021-06-30 |  | | I have paid for premium yesterday. Still ads are apperaring and also asking to go for premium. I have never encountered this experience with any app. It's very pathetic. Pls fix this immediately to get 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Awaiting for your reply... |
| 2021-02-27 |  | | I wish I could give this ZERO STARS, as I did not know using this free only lasted a month. At least with other dictionary apps, I can still use them without having to pay. Even if I have to deal with ads. Big letdown here. Smfh |
| 2020-09-13 |  | | I bought this book believing that I would be able to use it in a way that is convenient for. To use it offline, I have to install it on my device, not on my SD card. The excuse for crippling this app in this way is copyright issues and licensing. Now, if I buy a paper book, I can put it in any room in my house that I want to, scan pages, photocopy it, loan it to others, and use it in many other ways--because I bought the book. Not so here. I only have a license, not ownership. NOT RECOMMENDED. |
| 2020-07-05 |  | | So very helpful is the Webster's Dictionary app! I've used the Webster's Dictionary for a while now, and it has helped me to determine the meaning of so very many words. I purchased my first Webster's Dictionary when I was a teenager, and at the age of 17. All of the meanings and words correct pronounciations came so very clear to me. And today the Webster's Dictionary is a very convenient app. Thanks! Webster's Dictionary app. |
| 2020-06-13 |  | | Can't say much about how good this is as a dictionarybecause the publisher doesn't bother to tell us that this isn't really free but rather a one-month trial...& even if not used during that month. Pretty sleazy, especially considering that it's already got ads. But any publisher that's simply does not tell you that what you're downloading isn't really free but just a trial just isn't honest enough to deserve any stars. |
