  1. 4/5Perfect except for one thing

  2. 5/5As it should be

    A dictionary should be Accurate Complete - with all definitions and relevant info Refined - concise in language This dictionary app contains most features you would expect: Going to previous word Dark mode Advanced word searching Etymology / derivation / origin And a few unexpected features. But does not have: audio pronunciation example sentences Free version - which is why there are so few users

  3. 4/5Excellent reference, one item…

    The ability to access the dictionary and thesaurus through the share menu in various apps would be a tremendous help.

  4. 5/5Superb app

    Chambers has become my go-to dictionary for everyday use, both online and in print. It seems to have more entries than American Heritage, Merriam-Webster's Collegiate, or the Oxford American Dictionary, and its definitions are often simpler and almost always at least as precise. The app is easy to use, completely functional even with relatively old versions of iOS, and uncluttered by annoying pop-up ads and banners—and it's free. What's not to like? Highly recommended.

  5. 5/5Great Dictionary!

    This Chambers app is an amazing app, like all of Word Webs. Here are my recommendations to the developer for mobile: (1) Just as with your desktop software, let you switch in tabs between all the dictionaries and thesauruses you purchase. That is a critical feature in your desktop applications and increases their value and makes it sensible to buy ALL your dictionaries. This would be a moneymaker for WordWeb and great for users. (2) Why not sell your other desktop dictionaries on mobile? No work and more revenue, and your users would benefit. Here is my recommendation regarding Desktop: (1) Please make the spacing and placement of lines of text consistent as one switches between the tabs of WordWeb books. (2) Please use MacOS built-in support for graphics card acceleration for more natural resizing on the wide variety of displays. It looks really bad as you resize and for a business to purchase this app for this users, that raises questions of longevity.
