WaitingThe only thing I have to say about this app is when the word suggestions for a “missing” word don’t always work. When I look up a word and it says, “No results found for (word).”, and then it says “Did you mean:” and it gives a bunch of words that are supposedly spelled similarly to the word I looked up. However, some of the word suggestions aren’t actually real words in the app. For example, I am new but into 3d printing and I looked up bed slinger, which is a type of 3d printer, I think (I still haven’t found the time to look it up on google yet). It said no results found and then I skimmed over the words it suggested, and one of them, word slinger, made me curious, so I clicked on that one, and it also said no results found. I just find it counterintuitive to suggest similar words and have them not actually be in the app. Otherwise, the app is fine and I use it frequently.

InappropriateIn response to the developers, the definition of what a female is will never evolve or change. Female: “of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of [large] gametes (ova) that can be fertilized by [smaller] male gametes.” A male can never identify into being a female; a female is not a set of insignificant stereotypes. Do not aid in the erasure of the language of women. Without our language, there would no longer be any legal protection for women—adult human females—in law. What’s next? Can a canidae now identify into being a felidae or an ursidae due to its specific personality? Are we going to include humans in all of the different kingdoms, phylums, classes, orders, families, genuses, and species purely because biology and language have ‘evolved’ into losing all basic meaning? Can people now identify into a different age brackets simply because they feel like it? Will blue now become orange? Where and when is the line drawn? You’ve altered the definition of a female in order to placate the wishes of a group of delusional males that wish to be included in something they’re not. In the real world, the word female is never used to describe a male. Words have meaning for a reason.

AddictingAdsDeviceHate itInaccuratePricingSpendingWhen it comes down to actually using the app, user interface is pretty bad. Non-English ads pop up and you have to guess which word will close the ad. There is no X to close it and a bunch of pop-ups open when you guess wrong. I mainly use this as a widget on my iPhone home screen, to see Word of the Day. For that purpose, it is great. However, if you want to dig deeper into the daily word, you open the app and the ad issue appears. Close the app, reopen, and try the action again. The same ad reappears. I am 24yo and have never wasted this much time on an app before. I might buy the ad-free version, depending on the cost. But if it’s a monthly deal that costs more than $1 then that is a bad deal. My advice to the developer: ads are annoying enough, but we understand the necessary funding they provide you; please use the language per user so we can waste as little time as possible. Leaving reviews like this is time consuming and not fun. I hope this report helps to improve user interface for all users.
