    Webster’s Dictionary is the most useful tool on my phone. I use it nearly everyday for clarification as well as discovery! A must have for all ages. I am 71 yrs. old…learning never stops! I am so thankful and grateful for this valuable tool!
  • Make it predictable please

    Please stop moving the search bar throughout the app. It should always be at the top (or bottom for ergonomics). When I use the app (just like when I use a real dictionary) it should be perfectly predictable in its layout.

    This dictionary is one of the best available on the internet. I give it 5 stars because it not only defines the word of the day (Siri shortcut) but gives in depth information including the origins of the word. It is simply a pleasure to use this app and you learn a lot too!
  • So Helpful 😉

    I’m up at night looking up words. I can’t resist. Here’s my old review: 8/28/23 This app has helped me to learn not only my own language, but a second and third language as well. I don’t know what I would do without it. Also, I enjoy playing the word games. They’re great for learning new words and keeping your brain occupied, especially when you’re stressed out. Keep’em coming, I love it! Thank You All.

  • Seeing entries

    Why does this app now default to “what it means”? I shouldn’t have to tap on a tiny little section in between to see the entry. What are you doing Merriam?
  • Deceptive marketing

    The premium version is pointless. Does not have the extra words from the web version.
