I just purchased this app and it doesn’t have a Thesaurus. It is list as dictionary and thesaurus. Very frustrating because I’m going to have to purchase another app to get the thesaurus.

Simple and straightforward. Dear developer, can you make a dark themed option? That would be great and helpful.

I look up a word I already know the definition of but want to check my spelling and also different uses. The result was that the word was described as an adjective. No definition no origin nothing. Terrible.
