Voice Search Does Not Work

I used the free app for a long time and found the voice search most valuable because I didnt know how to spell some words I was looking for. I bought the upgrade and the voice search does not work. Please fix this.

FIX THE VOICE SEARCH

Everyone is complaining about this. When are you going to fix it?

Voice search has stopped working!

I will return to five stars as soon as the voice search is fixed.

Voice search doesnt work!

Not pleased with this app at all. Since I cant spell worth a plug nickel, I depend on Voice Search.

Favorite app

Call me a nerd but this is literally my favorite app. Especially the ability to "favorite" words, its like a Shazam for words I didnt know before but wish to remember once Ive discovered them. This is literally a major

Pretty Good, but...

Nice, easy references. Can look up words quickly. I like word-of-the-day; however, Im disappointed they felt compelled to use BCE instead of BC when using time periods for origins of words. Just another group of people trying to be PC. I didnt know the dictionary was so offended to be associated with Jesus.

Audible playback not working

I use this app mostly to hear the correct pronunciation of words. This quit working recently. I touch the icon, the circle spins and returns to original state. Ive checked all my iPhone settings with no joy. Help!? Ill go back to 5 stars when it works.

Great way to expand my lexicon

Love this app! It teaches me new words which is something Ive been struggling with a lot. One suggestion: make it less easy to accidentally open the app from the Widgets screen. Thanks!

Excellent

Doesnt get much easier than this app.

What happened to landscape view in ipad

After updating this app, it only allows me to view it in a vertical position. Since I work solely with the ipad in a landscape / horizontal position, this app is now useless to me. Not worth the hassle!

NEEDS FLASHCARD FEATURE

This is one of my favorite and most frequently used apps. I will change my rating to five stars if a FLASHCARD feature is added for the favorites list.

Not very good, but not bad

Layout and options are slow to respond and cluttered. Their voice/speech rarely gets my words correct; yet Google now does just fine with my speech. Needs more offline ability.
