I am currently using this app on my MacBook. For people who like word play, it’s a fun and simple little app. Looking forward to the dictionary and thesaurus integration (which I believe is available for the iPhone and iPad apps, but not yet for MacBook apps..?) Thanks :)

Fun Little Word App
Works well as an intensive thesaurus.
I can only rate this app in Crossword/Wildcard mode, since I use it as an add-on thesaurus. It works well for that when you need to find a different synonym that isn’t in the standard lists. In fact, for many words the list can be huge and if the needed word can’t be found, the it probably doesn’t exist in the English language. For some reason, the word is usually listed twice in the results. Clicking on either brings up the same list. No problem, just an anomaly that I noticed. One nitpick, however, is that unlike the other apps that I use with Scrivener, this one does not remember its placement when closed. It always starts in the same place, in the upper left of the screen and offset by a few inches. So, when started it has to be dragged out of the way and to the proper place with the other supporting apps. But, it works well for finding obscure words.
I like it
This app works very nice for me, I have the iPhone version as well. Thank you for a great app.
Seriously disappointed.
Cannot find rhymes on words that have many obvious rhymes. As an example “Bough” shows only one entry “bough” although there are many of varying strength. Don’t waste your time.
