App does not always find definitions for words that show up in its list - throws a message that it cannot find the word, even though the word is clearly on the drop down list. I have the full version on another device (as opposed to this one where the dictionary is online) - and there is never a problem. I suspect a connection bug with the word database, but it does reduce the apps reliability for quick phone look ups. Id say just pay the money and download the words on your device if you have the space.
