User Reviews

Users praise the app for its elegant design and deep, historical word sense coverage, especially useful for writers and readers of older English. They value long examples and contextual notes in a distraction-free interface. Recurrent downsides are incomplete word coverage, lack of pronunciation features, and reliance on an older Webster’s edition that may omit modern terms.

Pros

Beautiful, timeless design and reading experience with no ads.
Strong value for writers and researchers of older English, including 1913/1914 editions.
Depth of definitions with historical context, connotations, and rich examples.
Simple, polished, distraction-free interface geared toward reading and study.

Cons

Incomplete word coverage and search gaps (e.g., missing common terms like polis).
No pronunciation audio or offline pronunciation support.
Predominantly uses an older Webster’s edition, which can feel outdated for modern vocabulary.

Recent reviews

Should be required for every student of the English language.

My favorite part about this dictionary is how detailed the etymological records are but I frequently run into moments where I don’t understand the codes! And in my favorite dictionary, it would be amazing to have a “how to read this dictionary” section. Please? 🥹🙏🏽✨
