    Now there is no pronunciation on the app. I want a refund. Not pleased. First, I had to pay for the app. Then, I thought I would have more features than the typical free version that is on the online version...no. Finally, the word of the day does not have the pronunciation. I would not recommend until these features are added.

    Mostly beats the free dictionaries including the dictionary.com app which never worked for me. Poor definitions, though, but many incorrect etymological notes. Also, every time I type 'scatter' in the search box, it crashes! No updates since I bought it long ago. Nokia Lumia 920.

    Easily the best dictionary. Word of the day is stuck, but that's not i use it for.

    Do not buy this app. It is no better than a free dictionary app. I bought this because I needed a dictionary for school, and the dictionary apps did not have several words that I would need to know. This Costly app is no different. Very disappointed. I know that Webster's dictionaries (paper ones) have all these words. I hoped that so would this app. Don't buy it. Waste of money.

    Great dictionary. Word of the day has no audio.

    I have but one complaint--the word of the day doesn't work. It has stayed on the same word since installing the app. Not good considering $3.99!😐

    You better know how to spell the word you are looking up because it doesn't give you other similar words or spelling possibilities. Word of the day...should be word of the year, it has been the same word since it was loaded on my phone.
