Always has been my number one favorite free dictionary app and literary resource for understanding the meanings of words, giving you great comprehensive definitions and encyclopedic knowledge and information.
★☆☆☆☆Jeffrey George· Apr 13, 2026
App installed itself. Watch out! Responding to response: developer might not have been the one to initiate install, but it was installed without any desire, input, or control by me. Due to that, never launched, never tried. Might be great.

Edit: what happened to the ad free version? I bought the ad-free version years ago. I should have it. Shouldn't I ? aNg

The audacity to take over the entire phone screen for a minute with your repeated pop-up paid ads makes you rubbish.
