SCRABBLE Dictionary App Reviews

Why are people making words that are not in your dictionary as and please give me the page number the word is gaucie.

I bought the Scrabble Dictionary app specifically to look up words the Scrabble game app allows only to find I wasted $5 because the Scrabble Dictionary app doesnt even recognize many of the words - let alone their definitions - the Scrabble game allows! What a disappointment. Why dont the dictionary and the game match?

Update to review: Ive downgraded to one star, because there are words MISSING from the dictionary. Not just four-letter words and ethnic slurs: try looking up "dashboard" or "somersault," which are both on the TWL. Original review: ------ I bought this dictionary because I want to be able to find definitions for all the words on the TWL list, as that helps me to remember new words that are played. It does have the words, but the definitions are minimal, without any etymology information, or even alternate meanings. As an example, look up "kine." This app defines it as "a type of television tube." Every other dictionary I checked also mentions the other definition, an archaic plural of cow, and usually lists that one first. Also, for words that are defined simply as alternate forms of another word, it would be handy to be able to click on that definition and jump straight to the other word, rather than having to type the definition itself in to find out what it means. For example, "obe" is defined simply as "obeah," which is just as obscure as the first version.

Limited functionality, only able to add 1 extra letter, easy to use but not worth the cost.

Everything seems to do what it is intended to do. I have not had any problems with it crashing, getting stuck or otherwise. It also has a great supply of words using any combination of letters in the alphabet. Good app, very convenient.

Limited words its not as detailed in finding all the word

Wish I had read the reviews before buying this app. Many words the computer opponent uses are NOT in the dictionary. What use is this app if it doesnt match the game? What a ripoff!

Does not give word list, too bad I paid for this. I will just buy a book in the store. Very disappointed.

In the game, it really helps!

For example, the Scrabble app accepts: Thig, seri, dogfox, towze, ozalid.... And many more. Yet, these words cannot be found on this dictionary app, nor on the non-Scrabble Mirriam Webster dictionary. Ironically, they can be found via google.

So there are NO words in the English language longer than 8 letters? There are obscure words of small Asian nation currency values, and other words you will NEVER hear in a conversation…but GENTLEMAN does not exist because it is too hard for one mouthful.

This needs to be updated pronto or taken off the market.

I would have given this 4 stars a couple months ago, as its easy to check words on the fly. It was missing a few words here and there, but it wasnt that bad overall. However, its been over 2 months since the OSPD5 came out, so its missing over 5,000 words now. Why does it take so long for an update to a paid app?

Dictionary woefully incomplete, word finder also incomplete. This app was not ready to be launch and should NOT bear the Scrabble name. Youre better off using Google to search for dictionary definitions. What a disapointment.

They gave simply put a print version onto the iPad. No hyperlinks. So reference to one obscure word requires you to type in the reference and look it up rather than jump straight to it.

Supposedly you made this with better visual, but I do not like the keyboard screen. Harder to see visually. You put all of the options in the sidebar so now there is an extra key stroke to get to the word find. Please put the options back on the main page.

Please change color of letters and background back to original black on brown/black on white. The white lettering on red background is blinding . I can understand adding new words but changing the view of the whole app was unnecessary ;( please change back or give us an option. Meconucon

I loved using this app to check definitions on words I didnt know. Now it looks so amateur, so passé. Its hard on my eyes and is no longer easy to use. Im very disappointed with the changes. Please go back to the older, better & more professional looking version.

Not an improvement. Please consider bringing back the old version. Miss the wood tiles.

The new up grade is poor. Colors on key board are poor but like the lay out. Like use of more letters. Dont like the use of More key strokes to Move around the program. Dictionary often brings up words that word will not take. Bring back the old app interface
