Review summary

Reviews praise the dictionary quality and breadth of features for learners, but repeatedly clash with ad overload, sudden removal of premium features and saved words, login/account problems, and stability issues after updates. Many users regret purchasing premium and are switching to alternatives.

Pros

Broad feature set and tools for learners (more features than competing dictionaries).
Educational value; especially useful for students.
Generally strong dictionary content and usefulness.

Cons

Ad-heavy experience, including ads even after purchasing premium.
Premium features and paid access removed by new ownership with little or no refunds.
Loss of saved/favorites data after updates or ownership changes.
App instability: stops working, crashes, or gets stuck on launch screen.
Account/login issues and poor support for recovering premium access.

Where is the Premium App I paid for???
2026-06-12	Bl*****	I purchased the past a premium version of this app that I successfully used for years. I began having issues with it, so I uninstalled it with the intent to reinstall. To my dismay I found that it is no longer available, and I am now forced to use the non premium version which has ads at every usage of searching. To literally take a paid, premium product away from your consumer without notice or any type of restitution is abhorrent and is very disdainful and injust as it was paid for.
