Merriam-Webster Dictionary+

To replace scientific truth with Orwellian nonsense…. Gross

Nice app, but I thought it would have games like blossom that are at m-w online

Every time I look up something, I find the right answer or several appropriate answers to choose from.

MW Dictionary is Awesome

Not only is it the best dictionary app on my phone, it’s probably the best designed app I’ve ever used. It’s been on my phone for more than a decade so I don’t recall if I coughed up money for the ad-free version or not but if I did, it was a one-time affair and a good use of money. There’s no in-app purchases offered. It’s useful, and unexpectedly, entertaining. It doesn’t get in the way of my workflow with distracting notifications. That may be my personal settings but turning off or limiting notifications on other apps often doesn’t work or reduces the functionality of the app. I could go on about my satisfaction with the M-W app, but won’t. I’ll just say, if you are debating a dictionary app, others are excellent too but eventually get sunsetted. This one will withstand the test of time, is the best source for definitions anyway, and its thesaurus is excellent and easy to use too—no more writer’s block!

It’s my go to reference.

I’ve never used it once that it was not completely helpful and it’s nice to have it on hand in my phone

Well done love the opportunity to use. My brain makes me think and I share it with friends and we do it together.

I use this dictionary every day. Highly recommended!

I am returning to this review to give the app top marks. It is a very good reference and works fine with no internet connection. It's the best dictionary app I have found. Thank you Merriam-Webster. A few minutes ago I down-rated this dictionary, because it lacked a word I sought. Then I went back to the app store, looking again for a more comprehensive offline dictionary. I chose one that actually had "Offline" in its title. What lie. It was actually a vehicle for subscription services, and would not even let me look up a word without accepting a free trial. Deleted it. Thanks again, M-W for an honest app.

I use this app every day to increase my word power. I always find something interesting that I didn’t know before. And the games of fun too -terrific brain power fuel!

I really messed up purchasing this. Merriam-Webster is pretty surface level compared to the OED. But beyond the shallow definitions, the app doesn’t seem formatted for the larger iPhones and the UI is surprisingly sparse (not in a good way). Also, there’s no search history or an ability to download anything. These are basic features I’ve seen in nearly every other dictionary app. I feel like a sucker having paid $10 for this. Sigh.
