    Failure to grow your vocabulary is quite a shame! This app is an amazing and fun tool to replace writing unknown words on an index card tucked into my book. The games are also great!

    It’ll tell you the meaning of “IMO” but chokes at “exeat”. As common with dictionaries, it has the bad habit of also defining words using that word or word root in its definition. For instance, if exeat was actually in the vocabulary, it would define “exeats” as “plural form of ‘exeat. ‘“

    I really like having a dictionary at my fingertips. Also, so enjoyable to have Siri prompt me to go to the word of the day. The microphone allows you to speak the word if you’re stumped on the spelling. I have been on occasion.

    I love that this app gives me a simple, straightforward way to quickly look up a new word when I’m reading, browse through synonyms when I’m writing, or get a quick etymology when I’m curious about a word’s roots. And it’s all in one app!
