Looking up definitions is simple. However, I encounter increasingly many instances when a word is not in the dictionary. The app's search bar will auto-fill the rest of the word for me, only to tell me that it has no idea what word I'm trying to find when I tap it. In many cases, they are fairly common words that I just want to look up for a little clarification or nuance.

The word reference dictionary itself is 5 stars. It has no equal as far as I've seen. The app leaves some room for want. First of all, would love to be able to download a dictionary and have it available offline, this alone would probably bring it to 4.5 stars (currently have to use linguee for this). The only other problem is the occasional bugginess switching between the translator and the conjugator, not a huge deal, but annoying. Would also like to see a french definition dictionary.

As a Spanish teacher, I have found WR to be an invaluable resource for myself; consequently, it is the #1 go-to for my students. Not only do the dictionaries contain a wide variety of contextual nuances for words in different situations, but the forums allow clarification with native speakers throughout the Spanish-speaking world. For a language nerd, both enlightening and at times entertaining.
