The website itself is great but the app is buggy. It will often randomly switch from the dictionary to the conjugator when a search is input. Just as often, it will stop recognising any searches you put in at all, so you have to restart the app. I've had this app on 4 devices so far and have had the same problems on all. nonetheless, it remains more convenient than loading up the website.

I love word reference and used to really appreciate this app but in recent months it has just got really buggy. I gave 3 stars, would have been 5, but for the fact it just keeps stopping working nowadays. You will type something in the search bar, press search ....and then nothing. No response from word reference, just the WR screen. Tried force stopping, nothing. Reinstalling seems to be the only thing to work. I hope they fix this. For now, I have to use the browser version.

When you type, adverts pop up where the keyboard on your screen is. They only flash momentarily, but if you are typing fast, and who doesn't. You'll either end up clicking the ad or if the ad disappears but before your keyboard reappears, you'll end up clicking elsewhere on the page, either zooming in or going to another word. I am absolute sick of this. Just use the website instead of this awful app.

Wow, we're sorry for the inconvenience! Could you please email us at forum07@wordreference.com and include some screenshots or a screencast? There definitely aren't supposed to be any advertisements anywhere near the search box, let alone interfering with it. We'd love to troubleshoot the bug you're experiencing.
