i dont like dictionary.com

6-7 is NOT a word! They are two numbers. They CAN NOT be a noun as your website describes. YOU are the reason our kids have NO IDEA about language. Seriously? It means NOTHING!!!

Total Crap: Unilaterally revoked a paid upgrade to add free, and gave gaslighting responses when emailed. This revocation of a paid digital product is reprehensible, possibly illegal, and certainly the worst of customer service. It’s now no more than an infomercial. Avoid this company, and its apps.

This app is actively committing digital fraud. I paid for the “Remove Ads” upgrade years ago, a permanent one-time purchase—not a subscription, not a trial. Apple’s system shows the transaction plainly in my history. And now, after a recent update, the developers have:
• Reinstated ads for users who already paid to remove them
• Removed login access, so no one can restore their purchases or access their accounts
• Eliminated “restore purchase” options entirely
• Made no announcement, no notice, no recourse

This is not an accident. It is calculated, and it is illegal.

They are violating:
• Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (prohibits unfair or deceptive acts and practices, including post-purchase removal of digital goods)
• Apple’s own App Store Review Guidelines, Section 3.1.1 (developers must honor paid content and cannot revoke it)
• Standard consumer contract law, which considers the revocation of purchased digital goods a breach of the agreement made at the point of sale

This is a textbook bait-and-switch. A monetization scheme disguised as an update. They took my money, delivered what was promised, then came back years later to wipe it out—silently—and replace it with forced ad revenue.

And I’m not alone. Other users are leaving reviews saying they lost access to saved content and favorites because login is completely gone. I’ve seen recent complaints about the website too—features stripped out, no user recourse, no transparency. This isn’t just one bad version. This is a systemic pattern of removing features, locking out users, and burying evidence.

But what makes this worse—what makes it pathetic and shameful—is that this isn’t a cheap game or some clickbait app.

It’s a dictionary.
A tool that’s supposed to stand for clarity, truth, knowledge, and trust.
And instead, it’s rewriting the terms after the sale.
If even a dictionary decides that words don’t matter, then what’s left?

This is unethical. It’s dishonest. It’s manipulative.
And it deserves real consequences.

I have already reported this app to Apple with full documentation. I am preparing a complaint to the FTC and filing with consumer watchdog platforms for digital fraud and platform violations. If this developer is allowed to continue operating on the App Store after knowingly violating paid agreements, Apple is complicit.

If you’re reading this:
• Do not download.
• Do not pay for anything.
• If you’re a past buyer, check your purchase history.
• And if you lost features, report it. Loudly.

This app should not be allowed to continue operating until every paid user has their content and access restored.
No more hiding. No more gaslighting. You sold a product. We paid. Honor it.

Contains the word "brony". Mentions 4chan. Acts like an OPINIONATED blog post! This should be enough to prove that the dictionary has gone insane and is no longer an educational facts-based resource. Words are also ripped straight from "The Daily Beast". Stop allowing AI to control everything!

In October 2010, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic debuted on Cartoon Network. While the My Little Pony franchise has existed since the 1980s, it was Friendship is Magic that gave birth to the term brony.

The show quickly gained interest on 4chan message boards, namely /co/ and /b/. In January 2011, the show-specific forum Equestria Daily was created, followed by the similarly themed forums Ponychan in February and Rainbowdash.net in April.

Interest in brony began to rise in March–April of 2011, though references existed as early as December 2010. A portmanteau of bro and pony, it references male fans of the show. While its coinage is attributed to 4chan users, it’s unclear who on 4chan was the originator. Google Trends interest spiked in July 2012, the same month over 4,000 fans gathered in New Jersey for the second annual BronyCon. In November 2012, a documentary entitled Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony was released.

Brony, by the very nature of the word, refers to specifically male fans, though some women use the term to refer to themselves. Another term, pegasister exists as an alternate feminine form. As one of the Urban Dictionary entries for the term points out, pegasister is not a term that is universally accepted or used among the fan community in the way that brony is.

As bronies gained attention and the word became more widespread, so did their fandom. While the technical meaning of brony has remained the same, the larger connotation of brony fandom definitely evolved. Cartoon erotica exists in many fandoms, but by 2014 it became a defining feature of bronies, to the point where it is unavoidable when googling the names of characters on the show. This sexual component contributed to the outsider perception that bronies fetishize the characters as part of their fandom, though of course, this is only true of a segment of bronies.

This company should be avoided at all cost, I ordered a medium & a large Lola 2 piece as was un sure what size I would need. But when they arrived 3 weeks later !! The sizing was unbelievable 🙈 the large (14) fitted my 12 year old granddaughter. And they have refused to accept them back even though the website states full returns and ( apparently because there was no quality issue) so £60 down the drain
Disgusting

I ordered 2 items needed to send one back, thay said it would cost to much to send back. So no returns, offered me £3 when the item coast £25. Do not order from this company.

Exactly same experience as previous review
Upon receiving faulty stitched cheap looking products & after 5+ emails they will not exchange refund or allow returns absolutely awful DO NOT buy from these con merchants!

Absolute rubbish!! Cheap fabric. As soon as I want to return I have to send pics and because they deem their product ok they won’t let me return. In actual fact one of the jumpsuits has a chunk of the seam that has been missed by the machine so even though one is faulty they have now stopped replying to my request for a returns label.

Much better than google (for definitions)
