I don't normally mind ads, but the ads I've been getting from the app lately are blatant full screen scareware malicious ads that'll definitely put something on your device. Wish they screened who they have advertising on their site. Besides that the app itself works great. Loved being able to speak the word I'm trying to find if I didn't know how to spell it. Bummer.

Dictionary apps are generally worse than one would think, for some reason (most developed by MobiSystems). This is easily the best of the bunch. I was using AHD, but the ads were so intrusive, subscription eye-poppingly expensive, and the app itself like something from 2010. I'm paying for the ad-free M-W now for a very reasonable price and am very pleased. The app feels modern and professional. Whatever you do, don't just Google words.

I have used this dictionary for years. I was happy to support it by viewing unobtrusive, decent advertising, but recently the adds have become obnoxious! I have recently had adds that I cannot figure how to get rid of once they show up. I have to minimise the app and then force the app to close. I am done and going to support someone else.
