5/5Great Quick Lookup of Word's Historical Definitions
Great to have a quick way view a word's historical definitions, choose favorites and make notes about the word defined. --- However, as of latest update the Note's Font Color is invisible. My iPhone iOS 26.5 Display Settings is set to Dark Mode.

1/5What happened?
This app has changed completely. The majority of definitions used to have clear references to scripture, and examples of the words being used in the Bible. I just checked several words, and those references are almost entirely gone. Most telling are the words “sheep” and “shepherd”. Sheep especially used to have a long, and deeply meaningful definition in light of the word’s significance in Christianity. I opened the App Store to see if there was an explanation for the change. There isn’t one. What I noticed though is that an app that has reviews from as long ago as 11 years, somehow now has less than 50 reviews. I also noticed the developers labeling a review that pointed out the changes in the app as a fake review from another dictionary developer. There is a good possibility this review will also be labeled as fake. There is one way to tell if these critical reviews are fake - check the updated dictionary for yourself. If you are lucky, after a bland definition resembling definitions found in almost every dictionary, there may be a reference to a single verse.

5/5Great for Bible study!
This app is great for Bible study. Many of the words are given examples in Biblical terms and explanations. Teaching Sunday school I have asked my class to download this app for their own Bible study.
