Ratings and Reviews
Functional but dated interface
When it comes to defining words, it’s hard to beat this. It’s just like using the Wiktionary website from 15 years ago. Love the etymology references. But the interface needs to be updated and designed to fit mobile devices of varying sizes. I would be willing to pay for that.
Does what it says on the tin
I never review apps, but I'm so happy somebody made an app for this! Perfect for etymology rabbit holes.
One nit: would be great if swiping right took me to the previous page instead of to the top-level search bar.
Because of aforementioned rabbit holes, I go "back" a lot, and it's annoying that swiping right not only doesn't have the expected (imo at least) behavior, but also makes me lose my history (to go back to previous page you have to press the little back button at top of screen).
Relatedly, would be cool if swiping left took you forward in history!
Otherwise love it; it's simple but exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Exactly what I was looking for
I always wondered why there wasn't a Wiktionary client available on the App Store (Especially since the lack of a dictionary app is one of the stranger things about iOS). Finally, someone has made one. Not fancy but it does what it’s supposed do. Keep up the good work, and thank you!
