1. 5/5👏🏼My.👏🏼Holy.👏🏼Grail.👏🏼

   Y’all. I’ve been using this app for probably about a year now and not to be dramatic but it changed my life dude🙇🏼‍♀️. I’m a college student and I always find myself looking for synonyms even just to write a quick email. I swear I use this app every day😭. And the fact that it’s completely free is insaneeeee. You can upgrade for 3 bucks one time purchase to favorite words and notes but they don’t shove it in your face like every other app. But seriously, it gives you a crazy amount of synonyms and they’re ACTUALLY unique and well thought out. You can search for common sayings or things with more than one word. Like you could search “sleeping like a baby” and it’ll give you normal synonyms but also things like “catching some zzz's”. Alsoo another big thing for me is how easy it is to use. It’s basic and has a very simple layout. Definitely a nerd for this one but idc take my advice

2. 5/5Favorite app

   I am a serious dork for a thesaurus. I use one nearly every time I write, even for texts and I write a lot. I had always been really frustrated with the thesauruses that existed and had never found any I thought were amazing. Honestly, I rarely find any kind of service or product I find amazing. This app is a big exception. It genuinely is my favorite app I’ve ever used in my life. I find it hard to believe, it hasn’t been updated for 2 years. That clearly indicates a very solid foundation. The features and the depth and variety of the answers, the layout are all spot on. The only thing I’ve found that is somewhat irksome, is when you’ve typed in a word and searched it, so say in your original search, you were looking for synonyms, but then you want to also see antonyms or definitions for that word, you’re unable to merely change the type of information you’re searching and see results. You have to retype the word when you change the type of result you’re looking for. I hope that the creators of this app will make more apps for writing. Perhaps an editing app, PDF/document scanner convertor app, or a Word type app. I would almost guarantee that they would do a better job than what we have now.

3. 5/5Every writer should use this

   This app should be mandatory for every writer. It is such an amazing app! It includes but is not limited to, definitions, synonyms, acronyms, sentences, translations, rhymes, and so much more. I use this app on my phone and even on the website (although the website is slightly demanding in size) on my pc. This app is appropriate for ALL situations and workspaces, i even used this for schoolwork and work documents at some point. They even include slang in their synonyms and have definitions for them, which especially makes this app better than others. They offer different contexts of the words like how they can be used and the many different definitions for it (and even a wall of synonyms for each context as well!). I will never stop using this app.

4. 5/5A Thank You to WordHippo

   I would like to thank WordHippo and the staff, that has made it exist! I work as an author online, and there has never been a chapter where I did not use this website/app! For lengthy years of my life, I’ve had to stray through unreliable and iffy thesauruses, but when I found WordHippo, it was like a heaven of words, all in one! This has been the fifth year in a row, where I consistently use this website, and I will never stray away from it! My fans of my stories always praise me for my fantastic vocabulary, thanks to WordHippo. Therefore, my loyalty lies with WordHippo, because it is simple to use, never takes forever to load, and always comes up with the precise word that I need! In fact, I’m even using it right now to write this review! If there’s anything that I need to say about improving WordHippo, then I wouldn’t have too many opinions, but I would say that I dislike the new buttons on 2019, where at the bottom of each section of words, they say to click for more words. I prefer the old method, where it was just all in one, and I wouldn’t mind scrolling more or hitting the down key more on my keyboard, and see all the choices of words that I have, rather than forgetting to use the brown button that’ll give me more words. Otherwise, thank you so much for making my experience with WordHippo. It means a lot to me that you I can give someone an amazing experience with words!

5. 4/5Excellent writing resource

   In general I find this app helpful and well executed. I am glad to have found it. I most often use the Similar Words (thesaurus) and Definition (dictionary) tools. In Similar Words, I appreciate the ability to jump to a possibly applicable section by selecting a Context from the list at the top, being able to click through any of the suggested words to see its synonyms, and being able to jump back to the top of the search results anywhere down the list. The function I wish that this app offered (or that I could find if it already exists) is the ability to click back and forth between definitions and similar words without having to switch tools and re-enter a search word. Sometimes I see a synonym in a Similar Words search and want to read its definition to confirm that it suits the usage I’m contemplating. It’s slightly cumbersome but quicker than riffling through both my thesaurus and dictionary.
