Is the Dictionary and thesaurus pro accessible?

Hey every one!

I hope that this post you all healthy, safe, and well!

I have a question for you. I have The free dictionary app by Farflex, and I love it! It's completely accessfble. But, I love this app so much, that I'd like to spend $4 and upgrade to the pro version of this app! To get access to other features, such as the grammar book. My question is, is the pro version of this app accessible?
I'd just like to know, if I should pull the trigger, or not. Here is a link to app in question.

Thank you all in advance!

Yes, the Pro version is equally accessible

Greetings. I also have the Pro version, and it's equally accessible -- maybe more as it helps you get rid of the ads. Granted, I prefer the $9 Merriam-Webster Pro for its content, but the Dictionary Pro is also a decent offering whose content is mostly based on the now defunct American Heritage Dictionary -- just like its free counterpart.

thank you

Thank you, Amir!

Now, I can put that on my wishlist of things to get.

I too have the pro version of MWD. I also have paid versions of a couple other dictionary apps. I like its content, but, I also love the Free dictionary's content, which includes sources from inclcypedias. For example, I looked up the word depression, to test it, and it gave me a ton of info, both medical, incyclopedic, and definitions. But, I will definetely be buying this app now for sure!

This is why I say, that you can never have enough reference apps. So, once again, thank you Amir!

My pleasure!

Wow! So, like me, you're a word nerd, or a logophile! Definitely get the Pro version -- you'll love it! I also have Dictionary.com Pro which I don't use for its constant pop-ups and unexpected access issues, AHD 5 -- the older one by Enfour which is brilliantly accessible and gets regular updates, and Terminology which I sometimes use. I'd also love to have Oxford English Dictionary by MobiSystems but it's Definition text area accessibility leaves a lot to be desired -- it's the worst venerable dictionary app on the App Store I'd say -- and the same is definitely true about all MobiSystems offerings. My current favorite, though, is MWD Pro which has recently become quite accessible -- it's also quite up-to-date like its relevant website... Oh, sorry for the rant!
