…for an inexplicable reason, this apps interface is stuck in the middle of the screen. I use my dictionary apps while I write, positioning them on the right side of my screen for quick access which is impossible with this app. Im extremely annoyed since this app is much less useful since it always disappears behind my word processor, costing me more time than my other dictionary apps. I just dont get it. Ive never seen an app that doesnt let me position and resize its interface. So until this changes, 1 star from me.

What makes this English Thesaurus unique?
• The fact that you may enter set phrases, not only single terms, as valid entries.
• The fact that you may obtain synonyms of parts of speech usually not included in other thesauri, such as exclamations, prepositional phrases and idiomatic verbs. Even proverbs have their synonyms!
• The sheer number contained in the database, no less than 1,049,000 synonyms and 283,000 antonyms, is not equaled by any book in existence.
• Meaning Descriptors to help distinguish between the different meanings a word.
• Strict coherence of each synonym set. Transitive verbs yield only transitive synonyms. Intransitive verbs yield intransitive synonyms. Meanings and connotations of words are never mixed.
Latest additions:
• Embedded Tutorial.
• You may now enter plurals as valid entries.
• Background color and font selection from among 19 different themes.
• Fuzzy Search: Detects misspelled words and offers close suggestions.

Weak
I have 2 dictionaries, the one that came with my computer and WordBook. Both have a better thesaurus than this so-called thesaurus. I bought it becuase I wanted to be able to look up phrases as well as words, and it is very limited in both areas. Keep looking if you want a reliable thesaurus.
Great Potential
In addition to the great function of this app, is the visually appealing and customizable background. Unfortunately, the brown app icon does not preview the graphic delight that awaits inside, nor does it invite permanent display on ones menu bar. Though this app has amazing potential, I would prefer the synonyms and antonyms stacked in a column, rather than lined in a row, as that would likely make it easier to compare and contrast. I would also like for the search bar to auto-activate when the app is reopened, so I dont have to click into the search bar each time. Overall, I am pretty impressed and pleased with the fantastic value. Great Work!
Do not waste your money
If you are looking for a thesaurus with some teeth - this is not it. This provides limited options and is not flexible. For instance, you want other choices for a simple word - like programs. Here is the only thing you get: 1. (software) «Computer Science, concrete THATS IT!! Hope you were not interested in any other uses of this word! I wish I would have not spent money on this.
Quite useful
The app is quite useful, but the content quality tends to vary word by word. Itd be nice to see more synonyms added and a clearer arrangement. My biggest gripe with the app is the imposibility to reduce the size of the window - quite annoying really.
Worth Every Cent
This thesaurus is very lacking in words, which is the reason to own and use a thesaurus. Its synonyms are limited, and its grammatical usages of what words it offers are more so. Fortunately it was only two bucks.
