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.

★★★★★ Makinde Blessing · Apr 6, 2026

Refund Request for Unauthorized Subscription Charge of ₦2,700 Hello Merriam-Webster Support, I noticed that ₦2,700 was deducted from my account for a subscription payment. I sincerely request a refund because I am currently facing financial difficulty and really need the money for food at the moment. I had intended to cancel the subscription since 31st March, but I did not know how to cancel it in the app or on the website. Please kindly assist me with a refund if possible. I would be grateful

★★★★★ Aderaw Wondifraw · Aug 12, 2026

I wish the app restores that highlighted main definition of the word feature in a box, please. 😭😭😭

★☆☆☆☆ 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

★★☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ River Eddy · Aug 11, 2026

I'm sorry but the full-screen ads are ridiculous. Why not just do banner ads if you have to do ads at all? I'm trying not to Google everything because their stupid AI just rips the info from you guys anyway, but when I'm faced with a 15-second full-screen ad just to look up a word it makes me want to abandon all morals and go straight back to Google. And no, I'm not paying to remove ads when the information is already online for free. Make ads less intrusive or suffer. Lowering from 3 to 1 star.

★★☆☆☆ Jackson Burdick · Oct 16, 2026

You have to pay a subscription for some words...

★★☆☆☆ Logan Andrews · Oct 13, 2026

Full screen ads make you wait. For a dictionary.
