I like the app but it has bugs. I’ve owned an iPhone for many years and I’ve had this app the whole time. It’s never worked properly.
United StatesHijacked My Twitter Account
I'm furious with this company. They had some poor anti-piracy code that ended up affecting ALL users, including those who paid for the app (me being one of them). I was traveling and wanted to use this app, and then it prompted me out of no where to have permission to access Twitter. I just blew through the pop ups because I wanted to use the dictionary app as a dictionary…the reason I bought it. Anyway, come to find out they published a post on my Twitter account without my permission: "How about we all stop using pirated iOS apps? I promise to stop. I really will. #softwarepirateconfession." Because my Twitter is also linked to my Facebook, it got spammed there as well. I keep close communication with my clients, so I was very surprised to see this pop up all over the place with my name attached to it. It was very embarrassing. Enfour: I'd like a refund—what happened was unacceptable, and a simple open letter of apology doesn't do much. I deleted the app once I read about the 'bug' and haven't looked back. Unfortunately, you already made money from my purchase many years ago.

United StatesGreat Dictionary App
An outstanding, easily accessible dictionary app. Uncluttered and easy to understand. It is so easy to find the definition, pronunciation, syllabication, and word origin of any word you search for. This is superior to other dictionary apps.

United StatesGreat Customer Support!!!!
We have had this app for several years now and have used it almost daily for homeschool & general use. It's the best dictionary app out there in my opinion & well worth the price. What is really outstanding though is the customer support from "ENFOUR" and specifically from "Tracey" when we had some update problems with the app. We have older iphone versions (2nd generation) and don't alway's see the logic in getting the next new version of the same when it comes out. Apple has been "poor" in support of those of us that had made initial commitments to their product's, and when experiencing update problems they tend to hand you off to the "developer" to resolve issues that they would rather not deal with or have time to waste on. This can be a "nightmare" in many cases, but it was my luck to have contacted and been directed to Tracey from ENFOUR. The problem was corrected & the way it was handled by Tracey always made you feel like you were the only person that was most important. Triple A+ SERVICE & SUPPORT!!!
United StatesCan't believe ppl like this App.
This Dictionary has no phrases examples, it's very poor, no pic examples. It describes a word in few words, that's it. It's the worst dictionary there is for 2 dollars, You guys need to improve it. It's 5 times worser then any free dictionary. I can't believe ppl even like it, you guys need to try Free Dictionary, then u never will remember this one.
