For years, I have been using this app and it's amazing!

I used to write a lot and so I have to make sure that it's free of spelling errors. i use Merriam Webster dictionary app to make sure that it's flawless and get across the right words. Search for the word in the search box and you will get the definition, synonyms and antonyms and if the definition isn't clear enough for you can tap on the words in the definition to broaden your understanding. Thank you for this wonderful and it's free.

Crashed Application

I loved this application because it has helped me so many times in different situations such as writing an essay for school; however, recently the application always crash after searching twice. I thought the problem was my ipad until I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, the same problem occurred. I figured it has something to do with the app, considering that someone also had the same problem as mine (I saw some latest reviews on this app). I do hope they fix it because sometimes it really annoys me having to reopen the app again and again.

old version was good

this dictionary helps me a lot doing my things at school when i’m not familiar with words, it also helps me to discover unfamiliar words. Furthermore, this is good because everyone can use it offline. therefore the new version of this application seems became more complicated. i was having a hard time understanding the definition so sometimes it tend me use another dictionary because i don’t understand the definition. it was not clear at all as before. so, i would hope to see again the old version because it is more clearer and good.
