5/5Roget’s Thesaurus
This is a writer’s thesaurus, sort of a reversed dictionary, and is most definitely different from your typical thesaurus. It’s supposed to inspire ideas, and it gives you conceptually related words to the one being searched. That being said, this is my 3rd(?) copy of the book; the bad reviews are those who don’t understand the purpose of the thesaurus. If you’re looking for a basic thesaurus, this is not it! However, I will say that this is 100% my most used tool and provides exactly what it is intended to do.

5/5Crashing issues
I bought this app a month ago and was working flawlessly. Yesterday, I tried using it due to a notification that say download new version. I went to the app store ro see if there is an update but there is none. Tried to email the developer but even on the email support for the app store ad would not allow me to open.

2/5Kludgy and unhelpful
I’m not a fan of the UI. It’s not clean or modern, but if the app works, I can live with clunky UI. The problem is that I need the thesaurus to be useful. Roget’s II lists a hodgepodge of obscure words as synonyms. Look up “wet”. Asinine, brainless, drunk, disguised, impregnate… Are these British slang? I just want another word to describe something sopped with moisture. Shouldn’t a thesaurus let me filter for meaning? Shouldn’t it limit itself to adjectives like the original word? In this app, nouns, adjectives, and verbs are jumbled together. “It’s wet outside” is not the same as “It’s evening mist outside” or “It’s foolheaded outside” or “It’s guzzle outside.” I could live with associated words and phrases as long as they were filtered for meaning, but this output is chaos. Now type this into ChatGPT instead: Give me ten synonyms for “wet” in the sentence “It’s wet outside.” Instant gratification. My suggestion isn’t to incorporate AI into your app and tack GPT to the name, but to offer a more sensible output with more relevant results. Filter by meaning. Filter by the parts of speech. Please be more innovative. That’s something computers can’t mimic yet.

1/5Roget's II: new thesaurus
This is a bad product. Can't say enough how lousy. You will be surely disappointed, don't waste your time. See for yourself right now: Example: word I researched: "carnivore" App supplied these supposed "synonyms": amphibian, aquatic, biped, board-and-roomer, boarder, bon vivant, Brillat-Savarin, canine, cannibal, Chiroptera, connoisseur of food, consumer, cosmopolite, diner, diner-out, eater, eater-out, epicure, feeder, feline, flesh-eater, fruitarian, gastronome, glutton, gnawer, gourmand, gourmet, grain-eater, graminivore, granivore, herbivore, high liver, hungry mouth, insectivore, invertebrate, lactovegetarian, Lagomorpha, Lucullus, luncher, mammal, mammalian, man-eater, marsupial, marsupialian, meat-eater, mouth, omnivore, omophagist, pantophagist, phytophage, picnicker, plant-eater, predacean, primate, Primates, quadruped, reptile, rodent, Rodentia, ruminant, scavenger, trencherman, ungulate, varmint, vegetarian, vermin, vertebrate

5/5a suggestion
it would be very helpful to me if the list of synonyms was sorted by parts of speech… separating nouns, verbs, adj, etc. now i must search a list of 200 words (of all types) to find one of perhaps 40 nouns i’ve quit using roget because of this
