5/5This is the one
I use a dictionary and thesaurus almost every day. I was searching for an app that did not collect data. It turns out WordWeb respects my privacy. And as a cherry on top, the app turned out to be fantastic. I have no complaints. This is easily my favorite dictionary app in the store. Its really well thought out in design and function. Hope it continues to improve.

5/5Thank you for this great App.
Thank you for making this incredible Ad-free dictionary freely available to everyone. One of its best features is the ability to save search history, allowing me to easily revisit and verify my memory. I also appreciate that no login is required. If you have a donation link, we can voluntarily pay you back.

5/5A wish to make multi word matches an option.
Love the app. 5 stars. My one wish: there was a setting to not include multi word matches; or a way to turn those off and on in the main interface. Sometimes there are huge numbers of multi word completions one has to scroll through. Example: fam includes a zillion family Xxxxx botanicals. Or words like lord that have many name completions. Personally I rarely or never am interested in multi, space separated, word matches. Sure, one can now search for fam* but the user does not get that instant list of matches

5/5My favorite dictionary app for over 15 years now
Such a reliable, easy to use dictionary app. It’s intuitive in every way, gives you great suggestions when you misspell a word you’re searching for. Easily shows you pronunciations, synonyms, antonyms, specific regional words, spellings, and on top of that, it has a great list of historical names as well as places. It is my go-to dictionary app and I’ve used it almost daily for years and it has never failed me, if anything, it keeps impressing me despite its simplicity!

5/5Bookmarks!
This is a great dictionary app with an easy-to-use interface. My favorite part is keeping a list of fascinating words I come across with the “Bookmark” feature. The only drawback? I couldn’t figure out a way to carry my bookmarks over onto my new phone. I just searched for them all manually on my new phone so I wouldn’t lose my list of fun words. YOLO, I guess? The feature is clearly important to me. Anyway, I highly recommend this app.
