The free, general app has the same information, or you could get a free dictionary app that will let you link from the results, instead of requiring a new search every time.
But can away totally disappointed. given how great the WolframAlpha app is, I decided to flip a buck for this - and I wish I had that 99 cents back. The UI is hideous, and hasn’t been updated in years. The look, feel and response all seem from am iOS two, three versions ago. It does what it purports to do fairly well, but from an outfit such as Wolfram, I just expected more. So two stars for its creation, existence and filling a niche, but three stars off for horrible implementation and UI.
With the Wolfram name I expected a great deal. I am disappointed. When I type in a word that needs definition, the keyboard obscures the text entry field. I can't see the words I am typing in.
Asked for synonyms for "generous" - no synonyms produced.
Everything here can be done through the full WolframAlpha app or the WolframAlpha web site. If you've already paid for the full app, no need to shell out the additional buck for this. If you do buy it, prepare for disappointment. The words WA knows is a severely limited set. I attempted to use the Anagrams function to find anagrams of my name. It found none. The Internet Anagram Server finds almost 1400, and I could do a dozen just off the top of my head. If you happen to hit the words WA knows, the information is interesting and in-depth. I recommend the full app. though. You'll get much better value for that price.
this is garbage on the ipod, but very useful on the ipad.
It's a useful app but it constantly crashes or freezes so I uninstalled it.
I play scrabble and attempted to use this app. Too many times words found in scrabble dictionaries were "unknown" on this app. No good.
I bought this on Wolframs reputation and I am very disappointed in the limited lexicon. Most times Wolfram cannot find a word I am searching. I am going to remove this app because Webster's has a better success at finding definitions than Wolfram. I really expected more from Wolfram. I question whether the Wolfram of Mathmatica fame even still exists.
If you don't have an Internet connection this app is pretty much useless. I really don't find many apps that I hate but I can never use this one when I need it.
Slow as hell and crashes every time... You can find a better one for free! Screw you for wasting my time!!!!!!
Very cool
Great app, but always freezes and crashes. Please update!
UI needs work as there are top header black space issues...plus it's not that much different then regular Wolfram Alpha it just organizes the categories pertaining to word choices you searching for. If you own Wolfram Alpha I would not recommend this Words addition since it does all this and more already.
This app is ok it has a lot of choice and it's great for scrabble but it needs to stop crashing everytime I go on it plz fix
I'm always looking for unique words and information in crafting trivia puzzles for my app and this program helps tremendously.
Love it! Not everyone seems to be impressed but it works for me; there is never too late to learn something new ...
It helped me beat my friend playing Words With Friends which I am pretty bad at. Most helpful app ever!!
I usually like Wolf's products but this one is not very refined. Search engine seems to not understand more often than what it should. Not an improvement over my regular dictionary. I'd think that typing/pasting in the word once would be enough. I'll keep it, now that I've bought it, in hopes that improvements are in the works. I'd love to give this app 5 stars.
This does not replace a dictionary … rather, it adds useful utilities to a good internet dictionary, plus it is fun to use, which is why I have honored the Wolfram Words Reference App as my app of the day … this app may make me into a great poet for now I can rhyme :)
