1. Horrible - What a waste. IF you like turning hundreds of pages only to find archaic terms, this is for you. If you want something in which you can find usable words easily, go to the Dollar Store and buy one of theirs and put it in your pocket. With all the junk available in the Apple world, one would think they would have a useful dictionary of the English language. Amazing.

1. NOT Websters!!! - While the description is correct in calling this out as a thesaurus the image is of Webster's dictionary. This is not a dictionary at all, and IMO it's not a great thesaurus either. Pass unless your desperate. I'm a professional writer and I was hoping to buy a good little dictionary for use on my iPad, but it seems as though I'll be going the Kindle route and not the iBooks way.

1. Useless - I would give zero stars if I could. This book cannot be searched by word entry which makes it completely useless. I tried to look up “reticent” and, after a long wait, the search function came up with “bowstring”. Then, there is an example sentence which uses the word reticent but it is not even part of the bowstring definition. It shows us or pages after bowstring. The only logic I could see with this is that the heading “bowstring” is in bold letters and thus is searchable. When I looked up “about”, it came up in the search because it is also in bold. However, the headings throughout the book that are in bold seem random. When I looked up “abate”, nothing ever showed up. “Abater” showed up because that is in bold. Useless!

1. Not fully functional - I downloaded this text hoping it would fill a few gaps in my own vocabulary. Sadly, when the dictionary downloaded onto my iPad, a solid fifty-percent of the pages would not function. The book repeatedly informed me that there was some form of error in the margins of the text, and thus it could not display the work at all. This was an absolute waste of money.

1. The Million Word Crossword Dictionary - I own the book and it is an outstanding source for answers to crossword puzzle clues. I dowloaded the "Sample" to try the iBook version and entered the word "giant". Four () minutes later it found and displayed a few words and their location in the book, but did not show anywhere close to the number and details available in the book. None of the anwers shown would have been helpful. If the book is like the"Sample" , the app will not display the entries as categorized and shown in the book and I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASING it. The actual book is well worth the investment, however. There was also no website provided to allow clarification or support.

1. It’s a dictionary with less words - The intro was great. Chapter One began with the letter “A” in bold print at the top of the, otherwise blank page. I turned the page, and sure enough, chapter one was words beginning with the letter “A”, followed by their definition. It would have been nice to know WHY a person should learn these words. At the very least, Bly could’ve given some circumstances when the words would be useful. I’m now the not-so-proud owner of an e-Dictionary. I will try one more Whitten by Bly to give him the benefit of the doubt.
