User Reviews

Reviewers praise the app for its robust dictionary and thesaurus, helpful vocabulary-building features, and easy quick-lookups. However, recurring complaints center on intrusive and scammy ads, ad delays, and inconsistent handling of Pro purchases after updates. While the content is highly valued, the ad-heavy UX and purchase problems are the main downsides noted across multiple reviews.

Pros

Comprehensive dictionary and thesaurus with broad word coverage and nuanced etymology.
Easy to use and straightforward interface; enables quick lookups and aids writing.
Strong English learning features, including idioms and vocabulary tools that help learners.
Reliable and well used by long-time users; valued for its content and consistency.
Free version provides substantial functionality and remains a useful learning tool.

Cons

Intrusive ads and pop-ups, including time-based banners that disrupt use.
Pro purchases are not consistently honored after updates; users report being asked to pay again or that premium access is not supported.
Ads sometimes include scam or phishing-style prompts, creating misleading or alarming prompts.
Ad-heavy experience persists even for some users who paid for an ad-free option, reducing the value of the premium experience.

Recent reviews

Its functionality as a dictionary and thesaurus would be hard to surpass. However, they also allow scummy scamware ads that pretend to be system messages from my phone. Ultimately, I decided that I’m more discriminating than that. Why would I lend my phone to such a vendor? So I deleted this app.
