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.

2026-08-25	Pa*****	Bought the ads free version of this app years ago. Haven't used it in a while now that I want to start using it again, is not working at all. Can't sign in. Word of the day keeps coming up with "opps, word of the day isn't working". Can't get into the thesaurus. What happened to this app?

2026-08-25	W *****	🚫GREED RUINED THIS APP!!!!! Extremely Invasive ADS! A truly awful app! Do not use or purchase or have anything to do with this company ever! I purchased premium now they canceled it and have instituted extremely invasive apps never ever download or use this piece of garbage. The fact they took my money and now decided on their own to cancel this premium and the ads are extremely invasive. To the developers, I would have paid $5 to $10 a year for premium that's how good it was. This is a Zero🚫

2026-08-23	Gi*****	it doesn't provide neither ad-free nor offline features. Which makes this app totally useless. I needed an offline dictionary for my readings when I'm traveling where I cannot connect my phone to the Internet. It's completely useless when I'm only since I can use loads of better dictionaries online. Also I paid once for this service but I cannot see the features I paid for anymore.
