It is just what I needed. It helps me to pronounce words that I cannot pronounce. It helps me to get a better understanding through thesaurus on the meaning of a word. I really like this dictionary.

Edit: what happened to the ad free version? I bought the ad-free version years ago. I should have it. Shouldn't I ? aNg
★★☆☆☆Rita Burton· Jun 17, 2026
Why every time l do word match the answers are not shown and an ad comes on l lose my answers...very annoying
★☆☆☆☆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.
★★☆☆☆Jun SJ· Aug 25, 2026
Even the offline mode has ads. Maybe I should shift to Merriam-Webster. For the meantime let me see if its profound dictionary and thesaurus content outweigh the ad interruption.
