Reverse Dictionary

This is the dictionary I always wished existed, and alas, that day has finally come! Thank you! That it can follow my crazy train of thought, when searching for what I need is nothing short of extraordinary. Obviously created by a writer - because I couldn't imagine any other type of mind to follow a word association structure in the way this is laid out. Does it have issues? Sure. UI is very basic, no frills. Who cares? My life just got exponentially easier.

Handy for native English speakers but I can't imagine it is much help if English isn't your first language. I can scan down the list and see the word I'd half-remembered, but if it wasn't already familiar, I couldn't know which of the listed words to use. Reviews say that this is an app in progress? And it's a huge undertaking! I agree that dictionary definitions for suggested words will help a lot. Also, I'd like to be able to pull a word from the list straight into the search box, as another way to verify it is the correct one. At the moment this app is only really useful in conjunction with a full English dictionary.

I'm non native English speaker and a lot of times I can't quite remember the word I want to use but I can describe it. App really nails that. Its also useful for finding loose synonyms. My only complaint is that word definition isn't shown in the pop up on galaxy s7, its just blank space.

Just what I was looking for.. but it can be improved, for example an interface outside of the app like a widget or some kind of way to popup on your keyboard so you can easily continue typing without existing and opening the app.

Great tool. Thank you for this. After a search in the reverse dictionary, clicking on a result word does not shows any definition. Only the word is displayed.. Please fix.

So impressed by some of its answers. Pressing a word just opens a pop-up of same word with no way to copy or get a definition. Just let word select copy the word to clipboard at least. Letting it link to a dictionary app like Farlex or Google definition search would be even better. Thanks for sharing app.

Amazing app, something that was desperately needed. Now I would recommend to the developers to inculcate a regular dictionary within is for fast cross checking and a copy feature would be appreciated to. :-)

Needs to be online. Not all keyboards work (if nothing happens after you entered a word & pressed enter/search, this is likely why); but worst of all, the results are just a bunch of remotely related words, hopeful possibilities, and even nonsense suggestions...

This app is everything I have been looking for. I try wrote and describe stuff and this app let's me have those options, and if I have a brain blank moment I can write it in here too. This is brilliant.

Amazing app, I was always looking for something like this so that I could write essays better. But this app doesn't give that advanced words, it just gives simple words which can be useful mostly for a beginner

AMAZING App, the concept itself is so beautiful and well thought out. And the applications and sheer ingenuity of this app is mind-blowing. I suggest everyone who likes to use proper and sophisticated English to use this app regularly.

Search is fine, but the contents to be shown as a meaning for a selected word is a hit or a miss. Tried to find feudalism and words related to such. Search is fine found the other relatable words but the meaning related to the words. Do something

Tapping on a result isn't bringing up its definition. Long pressing notifies you that the text is copied to clipboard, but that doesn't happen. So it doesn't even pull up Text Aide app since nothing is copied.

I got so excited when I saw this in one of my recommended apps. That's why my heart sank when I tried using it offline. PLEASE make this app usable offline.

It's a bit strange. The first result is usually ok, but consecutive results can be bizarrely wrong, like if you tell it the time when it gets dark, the first result is evening, great but the second and third are foul and liver. Wft?

I just love this app. Not always accurate but I know it's an evolving app hence so far it does its job properly

Super buggy The app doesn't show word definitions, for some reason. I'd give this at least a 4/5 if this was fixed

This app is awesome. I just tried to search if there is such a reverse dictionary then it popped up.

Good, but I wish it was a reverse reverse dictionary as well, so that the definition of the described word can also be seen.

Like the idea but dislike two things 'bout this app. First, it works with an internet connection and second, when I tap a word to get its meaning I just get a white strip with the word. The second one is a bug. Plz fix.

I'm amazed, if this works I'll no longer need to ask native speakers: what word would you say when... fab

Not bad... the only thing I would change is when it gives you the q list of possible words and you click the one you think it is... it showed you the actual definition so you could cross reference

Extremely beautiful idea, only better thing would be to add small meanings to the words; or you can let us do that as well...

It's alright but if the words in the results don't show meaning, how can we know for sure what it means

Great app. It returns very interesting words. Please, please, please give me a way to copy, select, or share the words.

It's a great app now i won't have to search for the word that's stuck in the back of my brain but i just can't figure out what it is.

Great for writers, vocabulary builders(although you would need a dictionary if you don't know the meaning).

Great App, Untought off Idea, Simplisit UI and definitely must have

The app crashed when I searched for "an ignorant person"..dunno the cause but my best guess is it crashes when no result is found.

no longer maintained. Many things have been broken for quite a while.

Doesn't show definitions after selecting the word after searching

Great app. However i don't see anything when click on a word.

Can't copy words from the app!

Great app for getting tons of words with almost the same meaning as your description.

Always wanted this app.. thank you so much <3

Great, but could be made better by showing word definitions when tapping them

Exactly what I was looking for all these years. Thanks a lot for making it.

Just add an offline feature and this would be the best thing available on internet

I think this is an excellent tool, made even better with the material design!

I've been searching for something like this everywhere.
