Re: Merriam-Webster Dictionary Is Now Having Ads

2015-09-18 Thread Michael Feir 
Hello. I use one called Wordweb. It works quite well with Voiceover. I
believe it was a free app but I've had it for ages and can't remember
for certain. I have it for the computer as well. As soon as I heard it
was available as an app, I grabbed it. You can navigate very easily
using the rotor to move between headings. Definitions are pretty good
and fine for most circumstances. You can also get the Chambers
Dictionary and thesaurus apps for $8 each and use them as offline
references in conjunction with the Wordweb app.

Voice Dream Writer also comes with built-in dictionary and thesaurus.
Haven't really dug into that app yet but I keep hearing very good
things about it. Hope that helps you out.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary Is Now Having Ads

2015-09-18 Thread eileen . misrahi 
Hello List,

Just updated the latest version of Merriam-Webster Dictionary app on my iPhone 
6 running 8.4 1. Although the app is VO accessible, there are now ads that are 
interspersed when viewing the content. I searched for a simple word and 
received an ad for baseball tickets and a massage. Has anyone else use this app 
and was able to get rid of these nagging pests? I was looking for a settings 
button, but none was seen. Is there a settings button that I overlooked? If 
there's not a way to opt out of receiving these ads, is anyone using a 
dictionary app that is VO compatible  and does not include ads? 

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Eileen

They make you pay for the app and it has adds?
