a suggestion
it would be very helpful to me if the list of synonyms was sorted by parts of speech… separating nouns, verbs, adj, etc. now i must search a list of 200 words (of all types) to find one of perhaps 40 nouns i’ve quit using roget because of this
United StatesKludgy and unhelpful
I’m not a fan of the UI. It’s not clean or modern, but if the app works, I can live with clunky UI. The problem is that I need the thesaurus to be useful. Roget’s II lists a hodgepodge of obscure words as synonyms. Look up “wet”. Asinine, brainless, drunk, disguised, impregnate… Are these British slang? I just want another word to describe something sopped with moisture. Shouldn’t a thesaurus let me filter for meaning? Shouldn’t it limit itself to adjectives like the original word? In this app, nouns, adjectives, and verbs are jumbled together. “It’s wet outside” is not the same as “It’s evening mist outside” or “It’s foolheaded outside” or “It’s guzzle outside.” I could live with associated words and phrases as long as they were filtered for meaning, but this output is chaos. Now type this into ChatGPT instead: Give me ten synonyms for “wet” in the sentence “It’s wet outside.” Instant gratification. My suggestion isn’t to incorporate AI into your app and tack GPT to the name, but to offer a more sensible output with more relevant results. Filter by meaning. Filter by the parts of speech. Please be more innovative. That’s something computers can’t mimic yet.
United StatesDecent data, terrible interface
The thesaurus is unusable: all words dumped into a single window of tiny print, and you can only change the line spacing of that print but not the font itself.
United StatesUse every day
This has been my go to program for writing and editing for about eleven years, thrilled I found it, love the search options, the history search, everything.
