2/5UI/UX mistakes, lacking features
As a former tournament player and current club player, I have had a lot of experience with different dictionary and study apps. There are a number of notable user interface and/or user experience mistakes in this app. The biggest being the use of an alpha-ordered soft keyboard instead of the far more common and, now, far more natural QWERTY layout. At times, "back" goes a step, or more, further back than you'd expect. Missing features list is too long to totally list, but a few things: pattern search, common word lists, study features, and on and on...

4/5Great app, a few minor suggestions
This really a wonderful app, but two small suggestions. First, most of the time I open this app, I go to word finder. It would be great if the app would either remember the last state, or if the default functionality (when the app opens) could be changed in the settings. Second, though the words are generally up to date I do occasionally come across legitimate words which are not included in the engine. The most recent one I can think of is velcro. I will grant you that this is also a trade name, but it also refers to a type of fabric fastener for which there is no other word. Forget the trade name. It has now entered the lexicon of day to day conversation... not as a verb, but as a noun. I think I also read that as of last year, it was now accepted as a word in scrabble, so why doesn’t the scrabble dictionary here include it?

5/5Perfect for checking words while playing Scrabble
This is the dictionary I use when I want to see if a word that has been played is indeed a word. I simply type it into the lookup bar and it tells me immediately if it’s a word or not. If it is, I can then easily go to it’s definition. Now that Merrimack Webster has put out a sixth edition I had to purchase the Kindle version. And it’s awful. It takes way too long to find a word. Please please please update this app soon. I paid $10 for the Kindle dictionary. I’d gladly pay you for the app which is so much more suited to my needs.

2/5App is not well maintained
I have been receiving messages from iOS for months about this app's incompatibility with the newer iOS and that it may cause problems with battery life, etc. No update available... Today I was prompted that the developers must update the app as it will be incompatible with future iOS versions. I assume that means it will not run at all. Glad I paid money for something I will not be able to use.

5/5Scrabble Dictionary
Love the app. I only wish that the developer would update it so that I don't get a message saying the app slows down my phone. I find the app helpful for all kinds of words and use it when playing Scrabble and learning new words in books I am reading.
