User Reviews

WordWeb Dictionary is praised for being reliable, easy to use, ad-free, private, and feature-rich with offline support and comprehensive word data. Users especially value offline access, the absence of ads, and the breadth of information (pronunciations, synonyms, antonyms, regional terms, historical names). The most common drawbacks center on input issues where typing in the search box can fail and some reports of instability on macOS. A few users also wish for additional features and up-to-date definitions, but the app remains a long-standing, trusted offline dictionary option.
Pros
  • Offline usage and history saving
  • Ad-free and free to use
  • Strong privacy with no data collection
  • Easy to use, reliable, fast, and well designed
  • Rich content: pronunciations, synonyms, antonyms, regional terms, and historical names/places; smart spelling suggestions
Cons
  • Search input can be unresponsive or prevents typing (input/typing issues) on some devices
  • Reported instability or broken behavior on macOS, including text input problems
Recent reviews
Gray search and lookup area are now gray and hard to see, too cluttered, icon at top right is off edge of screen. Wish Apple would let users downgrade to more useable version.

Just realized I’ve been using WordWeb for free for 7 years and haven’t left a review! Great app, great UI, great definitions, easy to save bookmarks, it just works. Antony Lewis has made and maintained a high quality app for a long time at no charge.
