Apparently weather you pay as I did or you use the free version , the app needs internet access. Whatever word you put in, the app will continue to say loading until you allow it to get net access. I bought this in 2015 and back then whatever word you looked up popped up quickly with the meaning . I paid for it for that convenience but now it just annoys me. The problem stated above has been solved and I'm comfortable once more so 5 stars

I use this dictionary a lot, and I like it for the most part. It's super handy for finding definitions and showing your friends that they're pronouncing a word wrong. The thesaurus feature is cool as well. The one issue I have with it is that when I'm searching for a word, the keyboard will randomly collapse while I'm typing, and I'll accidentally press a random word from the list. I don't know if it's a bug in the app or maybe just my device.

This is a great product, content wise. The app is horrible! It's absolutely atrocious how the keyboard always disappears after you type in 2 or 3 characters, as if only the most junior and incompetent app developers work at Merriam-Webster. It's been this way for years. My patience finally came to an end, hence this review. Isn't Merriam-Webster ashamed? 5★for content, 1★for app functionality.

Works well enough. Looked up a word and accidentally tapped another word while reading? Guess what, you get to go back to the main lookup/greeting window if you try to go back! At least there's a lookup history, if you know where to look. 12/19/24 Run foreground service: datasync 05/17/22 Advertising ID Permission 08/11/21 New: Run a foreground service and run at startup. Because I *need* this to launch at startup? Why? I imagine it's to collect info all the time?
John Kubalak
It is annoyingly easy to select a word while scrolling through a definition, and then you inadvertently jump to the definition for that word. And the tabs at the top of recent words is gone, making it more difficult to go back. Any effort to address this? UPDATE: Still no effort to fix this issue? This is obviously something that changed in the May 2023 update. Heck, I'd be happy with going back to the way it was before that. Can we at least do that until you guys can figure it out?
