It dosent even give you proper definitions...

So far so good :))

• ☆☆☆☆☆   AndreaKRN 11 years ago

So far this app is exactly what I was looking for, and its free! One thing i would suggest is to make the actual definitions bigger and easier to see, because it all seems to blend together (synonyms, category, etc.) Fix that and I would give it 5 stars!

Crashes constantly

• ☆☆☆☆☆   aloofsocialite 11 years ago

Has a decent selection of words, but it will only stay open for a few minutes before crashing (this was true on 10.7 and remains so on 10.8).
