I enjoy the app. Ive used the website for years and finally just downloaded the app a couple months ago. The only thing I'd like to see change is when I highlight a word I'd like to easily press define for the non-english words the same way I could from the website. However It's only a few seconds to just switch to the web and search it. I still give 5 stars anyway :)

It's obviously very well researched, and a valuable tool. Unfortunately, as someone with an attention deficit, trying to focus on text with a third of the screen covered by a moving VIDEO ad is an exercise in futility. If you're at all serious about your free version—and don't simply consider it a way to convince people to buy the ad-free version—wouldn't static ads be more appropriate (one might even say merciful!) in an app requiring such attention to detail? 📱🚦⚡🚨 🤔❔

this is my favorite etymologies application by far. I love linguistics and studying language in an effort partly to know words, their meanings and origins...and also to keep up with my brothere, John, who is super smart and a superb polymath and hard worker and savvy wordsmith, linguist and lightening fast brain...as the song goes, lol, "all the young kids with the pumped up kicks, you'd better run, better run, faster than my brother..." thank you, thank you, thank you for a tremendous app
