I purchased the premium version of this app years ago, and have used it ever since. Imagine my surprise when the premium version just stops working one day and I can't even find it in the Play Store, just this ad-supported app. I finally remember I can open the Play Store from any app via 'app info,' only to discover it hasn't been updated in years. Evidently the app I paid for has been abandoned. The entire thing has left a bad taste in my mouth, so I'm just going to find a new dictionary app.

I gave this app a five star review in 2017. I paid for no ads and happily used this app for years. The latest update is an unforgivable wrecking of what used to be excellent. Ads everywhere and I can't even close them when they pop up. Started getting random errors when searching for words, when it used to be near instant and something I actively relied on. Also, Word Puzzle was one of the only games I ever actually played on my phone. If I find a way to downgrade I will, otherwise I'm done.

The widget has been reinstated in the latest update, but the search feature is still not there in the widget, which was what made the widget so useful. Also the text in word entries and their definitions, examples, origin, etc. isn't selectable anymore, which means you can't copy text from the dictionary. The new colour scheme is also a lot harsher on the eyes. Would be better to have a softer colour like the previous scheme, or give different themes to select from.
