The same experience as described by many others. I was happy to pay for a premium version, when it was available. I'm not happy to pay for a premium version and then have tons of ads shoved down my throat. The process involves scrolling through ads, searching, having to watch an unskippable ad, trying to close it with 5 buttons and scrolling through more ads. It's now actually faster and more convenient to get up, walk to my bookcase, pick up a proper dictionary and look up a word there.

Used to be excellent. Now, for some reason, when I installed it on my new phone, I can't turn on notifications. The setting is greyed out and it states that the app doesn't send notifications, yet I know it does because I had the app on a previous phone and it worked fine. I miss the notifications for "word of the day" and "synonym of the day". Small irritation, yes, but a quick Google search informs me I'm not the only one with the issue.

I used to love this app for its thesaurus as I do a lot of writing on my phone, but since the update I can no longer highlight a word and go straight to the dictionary/thesaurus. Most of the time it crashes and goes back to what I was writing, and in the few times it has worked, the app opens straight to the homepage and doesn't look up what I had highlighted. On top of this, there are now less synonyms than there used to be and so the app isn't helpful at all.

Oh no! We are so sorry to hear that. We suggest upgrading your app to the very latest version as that should fix many of the issues you're describing!
