User Reviews for Advanced Dictionary&Thesaurus

Not great; a printed dictionary has more life

This app isn’t great. Its ads impede most of the app’s functions, I think, and of course users can opt to purchase the full version to remove those pesky ads. However before I buy an app, I’d like to at least see how well it works, or in this case, how well it may serve my needs. And this just doesn’t measure up. I’ve tried using this on multiple occasions but each time I search for a word’s definition or synonym, the app lags as both it & I wait for an annoying ad to load. Several times the app has kicked me out completely or frozen, which definitely defeats the app’s purpose. I’m not looking for an app that takes more time to search for a word/offer synonyms than it takes for me to do the legwork on my own. At this point, I’d rather search for the word myself and figure out the synonyms on my own, or by using another app. It’s far too frustrating and not at all worthwhile. It’s a good idea, yes, but it so poorly executed that it’s just a waste of time.

Very out of date

I use a dictionary to find the meaning of words I’ve not seen or heard before. This edition of a dictionary has none of the more recent vocabulary, whether street lingo, social newbies, or technical terms. Also no commonly used foreign words sprinkled within our English. I’ve tried this app about a dozen times and rarely found it useful. I think it came with my iPhone, so it would be Apple that needs to upgrade this embarrassingly useless app.Recently, I started allowing ‘word of the day’ notifications. Big mistake. Words chosen, said to be at random, are words an average, but well educated, person would seldom need. Today’s was a New Zealand lizard! Really? Think I’ll need that one soon? Yet, as said earlier, I read often. Words from France, Germany, etc come up Freqently. Yet those words can’t be found without paying for your ‘Translate’ version. One can find them via a Google or Yahoo search! And at no cost. I’m finding your app less and less worthy. In fact I just took away one star from my earlier rating and plan to turn off your ‘Word of the Day.’ Overall, this app is not useful. I do plan to search for a better one.

Disappointed in the Recent Upate

I have greatly enjoyed using this app for over 8 years, being able to access it from anywhere at any time without having to depend on the Internet or wi-fi. The word games provide an excellent means of learning new words and keeping current with changes to familiar words. Being able to check spelling and definitions of words during a game has been helpful. The pronunciation feature is a plus, enabling me to check a pronunciation "on the fly." However, with the recent update, I can no longer access the dictionary or any of its wonderful components without access to the Internet, which is disappointing, as sometimes the Internet is blocked at some locations or is simply not available. I am disappointed that you have chosen to change your app so that it, in essence, denies access to users who may not have or cannot access the Internet. I am sure I am not the only person who would appreciate it if you would eliminate that restriction. - The Thinker

Enough already...

I wanted to give this app four stars for overall quality. Instead, I find myself giving it one with the wish I could give it none.Every time I open this app I am prodded to give them 5 stars. Obnoxious. The app doesn't even recall where I left off: dictionary or thesaurus. Great programming. They are so intent on shoving "new words" into the lexicon that they forgot all about the wonderful list of words that need more using. Elegant and eloquent words. But, if they want to reinforce speaking like trash, well they're on the right track. How tragically hip. English used to be a magnificent language, but now that organizations/apps like you and yours keep giving affirmation to the dumbing down of our language, we are being reduced to a bunch of emojis. Great work.

Correction and Apology for my earlier “WARNING!”

I accidentally made a severe critical review of this developer. Another developer, NOT MobiSystems, Inc., had left users high and dry by not updating an expensive dictionary app to be compatible with iOS 11. I could not write a critical review because their app had been removed from the app store. I downloaded this app (incorrectly thinking it was by the same developer) to have a platform to complain about the developer. I now realize MobiSystems, Inc., is not the developer of the app I was aggravated about. I am very sorry for my mistake.

Newest update:

Newest update: This is the second time to write this this morning. I’m getting use to this update and would have given it an additional star except that it keep sending me the same update word when I fire up my screen, but the wor never changes from “winter pea” yet the real update does change. If I hit send and it doesn’t send and wipes outLike the last one a few minutes ago I may look for a better app. There is no other way that I can see to report the glitch. Maybe some one related to this app will fix it.

This Dictionary has almost too much info!!

I can’t imagine finding a more complete dictionary anywhere! This thing is amazing. Idon’t know how you can’t find the info you need in it. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is so much info can get confusing. It seems like they could eliminate some of the things or condense things to make it easier to use for the average person. I know there are a lot of people who want the extra information but, not everyone.

Thank you King Jesus!

I have very challenging eye issues and it’s very hard for me to read my Bible on the white pages, so having the accessibility choices is awesome. I love the font size choices and audio commentaries. I prefer the black contrast background and I can read for at least an hour without any problems then when my eyes are tired I at least have the choice to listen to the audio commentaries. EVERY good thing comes from King Jesus💕✝️🕊🙏🏽💕

Very informative. Exactly what I needed.

This app is great. I like that the app also is current in updates & fixing any glitches that are an issue in a timely manner. A lot of developers write/design apps & once they release to the public only maintain them a short time because they move on to new apps & forget about ones they’ve previously introduced. With free apps Most update & fix issues for about a 6-8 months & then move on. Even if it’s a paid app you’re lucky if they review issues & fix glitches or update it for new IOS programs after a year, but this developer’s totally different. I also like this app is concise, but informative. I love that it gives all natures of the words background, including original origins & uses to current adaptations. I write a lot of reports & don’t like using the same words over & over. I can look up a word on the dictionary side that I’m thinking of using & it’s not exactly the word I’m looking for or I decide I want the sentence syntax to have a different flow, there’s a thesaurus to help me choose the exact right word I’m wanting to include. That feature also saves me a headache🙂, instead of me trying to come up with different words, that have the same similar meaning from memory, I can just access the thesaurus & find Exactly what I’m looking for to save me time & frustration. A Win-win as far as I’m concerned😉.

Advanced English Thesaurus

I just don't know what I was thinking, I use the free dictionary app. all the time, couldn't write without it. Every time I felt the need for a better, more appropriate word the dictionary wanted to sell me an app.; I just didn't think to look for a free version in the App Store.I love this thesaurus, it is so robust, incredible features; I just can't believe it took me this long to get it.
