I LOVE the app,but there's a SERIOUS problem that I've been writing about for TWO YEARS and it's still not been fixed - upon opening the app for the first time in a 24 hour period, the page crashes after typing only 3 letters, leading to a series of steps to reverse this. TWO YEARS of this!!! Plus, this is the ONLY app on my phone that's so touch sensitive that it switches pages if one barely touches the page when about to scroll. Also, no $$ refunded when I signed up for Premium by mistake!!!

Combine the search bar and the history ("Recent") section please. The current history feature being buried is unusual, like the corporation that owns the app has not ever used the app itself. App does not have the ability to accurately guess misspellings. App is not tuned for practical usage and is missing obvious features like basic etymology. A basic Back feature is another minimal expectation all users have for the app, but the company refuses to add it.

The app is great except when you open it, you have to click twice in the search field because it changes focus to another part of the screen. It never used to do that. Before you could open the app and just start typing the word you where searching for.
