‎"The Words iPhone app misrepresents itself as being in English only. Because Im in France its only giving me French output in many areas: homophones, scrabble words, ... This is all despite my input words, UI and keyboard being English . There are no settings that allow me to change W|As incorrect inference that I want French output!"

American!

Despite the fact that Stephen Wolfram is British, the app is heavily focused on American English. Although it will provide a definition for colour as well as color, it cant find words rhyming with colour! It would be very helpful if you could select British English as the preferred option. Otherwise, its delivers lots of useful information for writers including notable uses of words, anagrams and crossword clues, acronyms, words "beginning with", or "ending in" which is really useful if, for example, you want to find all words ending in "mount" or any other word ending. The app isnt orientation sensitive so it doesnt rotate if you rotate your iOS device. On the iPhone, it only works in portrait mode. Whats hard to understand is why its the opposite on the iPad, where it ONLY works in landscape mode! For these reasons it loses two stars.

Great

Nice job

buggy, overpriced, under-designed

Wolfram Alpha should be embarrassed to have their name on this half-baked app. When it works, its surprisingly unhelpful. When it doesnt work, the error messages (or lack thereof) are confusing. I try it periodically (naively) and its 50-50 whether it will even return an answer for something simple like finding words containing "qu".

Horrible

Poorly designed, poorly executed, and incredibly shallow information. Got fooled by the Wolfram name.

Good idea, but cheesy built

- doesnt work offline - cant preset all search categories - not user-friendly - no bookmarks or favorites - no correction while typing in a word - no instant search, you really have to tap "Enter" button, so out-of-date

Engles App of the Day

This does not replace a dictionary … rather, it adds useful utilities to a good internet dictionary, plus it is fun to use, which is why I have honored the Wolfram Words Reference App as my app of the day … this app may make me into a great poet for now I can rhyme :)
