User Reviews for LookUp Dictionary: Learn Daily

Clever, unique, elegant vocab builder

I love this app! I love words and dictionaries. I own lots of dictionary apps. I teach English to non-English speakers, ESL. Contrary to another reviewer or two, I find this to be a unique, browsable, and helpful vocabulary builder. It's NOT a simple dictionary, a reference, that's not the best purpose - it's something to sit and spend time with. I wouldn't recommend it solely to use as a dictionary for quick look ups. I don't need such interesting distraction, I would stay in the app, get lost in words, and not get back to my work.Also contrary to another reviewer, they are NOT words common to daily ordinary American English speakers. You may have at least heard many words, studied them for testing, and even gleaned the meanings from context. There will be words you've heard many times and may even use but you never looked them up yourself, those words you can use and describe with examples but cannot cite a definition. So it's very interesting.You get visual imagery, etymology, grammar and related words. And links to more comprehensive definitions, a wiki. The presentation of each word is colorful and appealing without cartoonish sensibilities. By simply visually browsing you can learn, hone, or refresh your vocabulary without the tedium of drilling, memorizing, or winding thru long repetitious dictionary definitions.

Weak Attempt

Let me start by saying that I have no problem paying for a dictionary app; new words fascinate me and Lookup looked like a ‘fun’ dictionary. And the reality is that this application is actually very pretty- the night mode is stylish and word of the day drawings actually motivate me to open it frequently, which is something a dictionary app has never compeled me to do. But it’s greatly deterred by the fact that so many of the real, English words I’ve looked up are hit with a ‘no results’ find. In fact, it seemed that any word beyond a high school-level vocabulary could not be found. The reality is that a dictionary app is primarily used to define words we may find in our day-to-day lives and just aren’t familiar with, and there are plenty of free dictionary apps with things such as built-in thesauruses or far more information/uses behind the word that you are searching than this app can offer. The only true thing that Lookup has going for it are it’s looks, and that unfortunately doesn’t justify its price tag.

Update to LookUp+ finally worked!

Update: changing my rating to 5 stars now that the update has worked. Great app!!I have updated the app to version 9.5.1, but still can’t update to LookUp+ !!! Please fix this!!! Supposedly this update was to fix this exact issue yet I’m still not able to update… just get a spinning wheel indefinitely when I try to restore purchase. Will rate the app 5 stars when this issue gets resolved.

Would give it 5 Stars, if not for some key missing features

So I love this app and always find ways to increase my usage but I feel this app is missing a couple features that I think it should have one of those features is the ability to generate random words what I mean by that is there should be an option like Wikipedia's random article feature where we can jump from one word to another real fast which gives us a reason to open the app randomly and use it more. Also Japanese translations were supposed to be there but so far that is also missing. Fixing these features and adding a few interesting features will make me give this app a perfect rating and recommend it more. Edit - the developer has addressed the bug and I got access to lifetime with no issues, they were very helpful in addressing my concerns in a timely manner.

Love the app, BUT…

I recently upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro and I noticed my battery was draining rather quickly. So I went into the settings and saw that over the last 24 hours a whopping 27% of battery usage was from the LookUp app. Under where it says LookUp app it lists “audio” as the activity that is causing the battery drain. I really do love this app…I even have the widget on my home screen. I’m a bit of a vocabulary nerd so this app really filled that niche. But if this battery drain isn’t resolved, I don’t see how I can keep it on my phone. I will upgrade my rating if the battery issue is fixed.

Is it worth it?

This is a fun little app with good widgets that does what it says on the tin — a new word every day with an accompanying definition. I was fortunate enough to get it when you could buy a lifetime “pro” version for a one time, $10 purchase; I can’t honestly say that I would pay a monthly or annual subscription for it.Also, while most of the art for the daily words is inoffensive at worst, it occasionally features these creepy, large-eyed characters that look rather like what you would expect of a fake children’s book in a horror film. I always hide the widget when that art style features because I find it unnerving.

Best in class!!

Are use this app on my iPhone on my Apple Watch, and on my MacBook. After and recent minor issue where my collections were lost during an app update, I am now very confident that the developer has integrity and will seek quickly to correct any issues. This has given me confidence in continuing to use this excellent app.I love to use this app. Whenever I discover a word that I would like to add to one of my collections it is easy to get the definition and add it right away to either one or multiple collections. I love that on the MacBook version of the app I can export a PDF file of any one of my collections along with definitions. That allows me to export my own back up of my collections on a periodic basis and allows me to easily share my collection of words with someone else. My wife and I are able to each use the app because the app allows for family sharing. I greatly appreciate that and it adds more value to the subscription.

The best dictionary I’ve ever owned

This is a wonderful app! Love the full support of the features of iOS; the widgets are great, they’ve built in Siri commands, and robust features for thesauruses, translation, and etymologies.I wish they had definition lookups for the words you get wrong in the quizzes they provide/curate (GRE Prep please!), and had an option to display one or two translations alongside/below the pronunciation guide! These couple of features would elevate the experience of the voracious consumers of information this app have been so satiated by so far!

Continues to be a 5 star app.

2nd Update: It works now. Restoring to 5 stars. Update: Developers replied asking me to update to version 9.6.1. I did. I didn’t work. I bet there are no issues collecting those subscription fees though. First review: Really?!? Paying for the app wasn’t enough? Now you want a monthly subscription too? Stop spamming the app with your subscription model. You have to be a lummox (I learned this word with your app) to pay a monthly fee for what is basically a fancy dictionary / thesaurus.

Word of the day complication not refreshing

This is an amazing app save for the fact that despite the app showing the current word of the day, the watch face complication will refuse to refresh unless I restart the whole watch. The word of the day also doesn’t change at the start of each day; it changes in the middle, at least for me. It would be amazing if there was an option for the word of the day to only change in the morning, so that there is actually a new word at the start of every day (even if it means I’m technically not caught up to what the current word is; like, my word of the day would lag behind the “real” one so that it switches in the morning of my time zone). I would gladly pay a subscription if that’s what it would take for these features to be implemented. Either way, thanks.
