## Review summary

Roget’s II is celebrated as a writer’s thesaurus that inspires ideas and provides robust search features, with many users calling it indispensable. However, it suffers from stability problems (crashes), a cluttered, not-user-friendly UI, and content gaps (irrelevant synonyms, missing entries, and poor part-of-speech filtering). Reviewers also feel it’s overpriced for what it offers and note limited support. Overall, it’s valued by many writers but requires fixes in reliability, filtering, and completeness to meet expectations.

### Pros

- Valuable for writers as a writer's thesaurus that inspires ideas with conceptually related words.
- Widely used and considered indispensable for writing and editing; a go-to tool.
- Robust search options and history search that help quick access to synonyms.
- Completeness and strong word-choice options praised by long-time Roget's users.
- Useful as a digital Roget's copy that writers can take with them anywhere.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability across devices, including macOS Catalina.
- Clunky UI and a dense, hard-to-navigate interface with tiny font and no font options.
- Content can be irrelevant or obscure, with poor filtering by meaning or parts of speech and mixed word types.
- Missing entries and gaps in content; not as thorough as the real Roget's in print.
- Overpriced for what it offers and limited support/refund options.
