Merriam-Webster Dictionary App Reviews

Decent, but....

Decent app overall, but voice recorder is broken, also there is not an auto fill/word predictor, so if your spelling is a little bit off, then youre S.O.L. and, like others have mentioned, sometimes the ads are a bit annoying, especially when you cant turn them off for 10 or 15 seconds.

App stuck updating and cant delete

After the last update the app is stuck updating and I cannot delete it. When I click on yes to delete it - its still there. It is not showing up on my app update list. When I go to my installed app list it shows up. I click on "Open" and it does nothing. They need to fix this!!

Dictionary Use

I often find exactly what I am looking for with this app. I see other reviews that say they have too many pop up ads...I dont seem to have them thank goodness, and I have the free app not the paid one. The microphone does not work but no suprise there because Siri has never understood me:-( I do love this app and the word of the day!

Because!

I like this App because at times my data usage is not working, I can still use it! This Merriam Webster Dictionary has A few Word Games that one can enjoy playing without Your GB being in use.Thanks Apple.

You should be ashamed of yourselves...

The most aggressive ads on the most expensive app Ive ever paid for. I have no words... because you took them from me.

Mr

This app is hacked by adds! Impossible to use it. Shame! Shame! Shame!

Pronunciation button

I have been very happy using this app for two years. Just recently I noticed that the pronunciation button no longer speaks the sound of the word. At first I thought it was my device but the same problem developed on my tablet and my second smartphone. I had to download a different dictionary app to find out how to pronounce the words I am trying to learn.

TOTALLY A MESS

This used to be my go to app. No more. Nothing but pop ups-sometimes three on a screen. I removed it immediately. Save your precious space and time. Would rate it a zero if I could!

Used to like it

Used to be decent. Now too many ads. Also minimal definitions and almost no phrases.

No definitions!!

Very disappointed just downloaded this in the very first word I tried basically just pronounced it and had no definition of what the word means. When Im looking for a definition I want to know what the word means not just how to say it glad I didnt spend the extra money for the upgraded version.

MOTHER F%*#!$@¿# POP-UPS

This use to be my favorite app, a portable dictionary. I understand ads in a free app, I do, but pop-ups!? Not just pop-ups, but pop-ups with no clear way to exit or pass. This is PARTICULARLY a problem considering most of the time someone is using a dictionary, theyre WORKING, striving towards some productivity, the amount of time trying to get around the pop-ups turned this app from one of the best tools to a f%*#!$@ irritation at best.
