User reviews

"This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Why 'Google' alerts me? Would you like to clarify a bit more? ...as I'm using you (WordWeb) since 2K09 till date! Thanx with regards, MOLOY India - South East Asia in the geographical location else more precisely, my coordinates: 22.5083392,88.3687424

Used this for years. I have a fairly good vocabulary, but much of what I read challenges me. Then, of course, when I write, I oftentimes need precision. Having synonyms at my fingertips saves time and therefore I'm less likely to lose my thread of thought.

This app is so amazing. I can't remember exactly how long I have been using it but I bet it's been very useful to me.
