★★★★☆

I have only noticed two problems: my keyboard will disappear whilst I am typing, taking me to a definition I probably wasn't searching for; and every so often, the app will nag me to subscribe to a monthly plan, even though this is the premium, paid-for app. Other than that, this is a perfectly usable dictionary app.

I use this dictionary a lot, and I like it for the most part. It's super handy for finding definitions and showing your friends that they're pronouncing a word wrong. The thesaurus feature is cool as well. The one issue I have with it is that when I'm searching for a word, the keyboard will randomly collapse while I'm typing, and I'll accidentally press a random word from the list. I don't know if it's a bug in the app or maybe just my device.

Weird bug .... but when first launching the app and tapping into the search 🔍 bar, the keyboard comes up and then automatically closes after 2-3 seconds. It only happens once after a fresh launch, but it's INCREDIBLY annoying because it basically screws up whatever you were trying to type! Also, the mechanism for switching to the thesaurus while viewing a word isn't immediately obvious at first – it was years before I noticed it down at the bottom! But it's a super handy feature to have…

★☆☆☆☆

This dictionary used to be great. One used to be able to have 3 ways to search. You could search for a word that appeared in the definition, or use ambiguous place holders like "abr????" etc. Now there is zero ability to search with more advanced functionality. Now, it's one of my least favorite dictionaries. Plus, they try to force you to "login". In short, they no longer make great dictionaries, but rather "a dictionary user experience" PO'd I paid for this before their "improvement"
