Comments on Dictionary - Merriam-Webster for Android

★★★★★ Ismail Abdul-Aziz · Apr 15, 2026

For me, No other dictionary out there gives me the pleasure of looking words up words like Merriam-Webster.

★★★★★ Somadri Das · Apr 5, 2026

A very good dictionary app, and useful for exam or day to day purposes, there is also history and etymology of the word given in concise form which makes it more suitable for those who want to know details of words. Love from India

★☆☆☆☆ Michael monahan-reich · Jun 16, 2026

Happens a lot. Doesn't provide definitions won't pronounce doesn't give any synonyms or origins with the word came from whether it's Latin or Greek based or whatever

★☆☆☆☆ Lori Garman · Oct 10, 2025

Great dictionary. However, it allows suggestive (nudes) ads

★★☆☆☆ Franz Alex Labao · Feb 2, 2026

Though, this app provides you the details you ever need to know, it disrupts you from reading the info. There is this feature—whenever you tap a word, you automatically go into its definition— that is beneficial, but unnecessary if not improvise. It is accessible, but it might affect your time and effort if it is unintentional. What I recommend is that, instead of one tap, make it a twice-tap feature—if a word is unfamiliar, tap it twice to link in its definition. Helps users in certain ways.
