  • Not regular updates of database and app..

    It’s ashamed that as this app was purchased spending a considerable amount of money, app must be updated and improved on regular basis because it’s said that it is premium app. Last update was years far away.
  • Great Dictionary, Cartoonish Interface

    By Humira
    The best dictionary for American English, with word origins, and a large vocabulary. This particular app interface is a bit cartoonish, as if it were designed for kids. It could be improved.

  • Stop the begging

    Really tired of being begged fo a five-star review. If I wanted personal opinions I would consult a creditable source like MySpace. I would prefer to not have the application keep track of recently defined words.
