Near perfect! This app is fast, efficient and simple. Oh, and it has night mode thank heavens! The two things that would make it perfect are: (1) formatting of the definition (for example indentation is numerals) and (2) cross referencing words (for example the definition of prudence includes the word sagacity which would be super cool to just tap on and walla, one is there! Then tap back to return to they previous definition etc).

Used to be good. The new themes do not work well. The default theme mode does not respect system default and enable dark mode automatically and the setting's menu is always in light mode; why would you add a white gradient to dark mode!? Also, why in the world do I want you tracking what I look up? Please remove this or allow disabling history. I don't care if the stats stay local only, I don't appreciate tracking of my history.

Brilliant. We seem to have lost our semantic ways and search for meaning. Things nowadays are so efficient and convenient with no regards for elegance and precision. My only complaint is that you cannot look up a word by merely clicking on it, if anything that just makes me put in more effort so I retain it better. Thank you and I appreciate the no advertising choice. We already have enough things stealing our attention.
