Word Word is a completely unique type of dictionary -- as its one that you create yourself!

Word Word gives you all the tools you need to create your own personalized dictionary. You can quickly enter new words and ideas, get definitions for the words, and add customized tags and comments to each word. With this, you can make a dictionary of words that is completely your own. This app was made for writers, lyricists, poets, language students, or anyone else who uses words on a daily basis!

Usage Tips:

1. First, use the "Add a Word" feature to quickly add a word to the database. You can even enter the words pronunciation.
2. The middle section of the page lets you add custom tags and memos to each word. Use the memo section to record definitions, rhymes, feelings, etc.
3. An automatic web search gives you definitions, synonyms, and more. The web search can be viewed fullscreen by pressing the magnifying glass icon.
4. The more words you add, the more robust your dictionary becomes!

New Import / Export Feature!
Version 2.0 allows you to export your word and tag database from one device, and import it onto another. Simply use the export button in the upper right, and your database will be attached to an e-mail. Tap on the e-mail attachment on the new device to import. Please note that importing will overwrite any database that is currently on the device.

Caution:
When updating any app or OS version, its always a good idea to make a backup first. While app updates have been tested thoroughly, the creators of this app cannot be held responsible for any data loss that may occur as a result of a problem during the upgrade process.

Pros and cons of Word Word -My Personal Dictionary- app for iPhone and iPad

Word Word -My Personal Dictionary- app good for

Exactly what I was looking for. Really nice to be able to enter weird words in to a database which is easy to organise and search. One thing Id suggest is changing the icon. Also, PLEASE add a way to email all of the entries inputed. It would be very disappointing to lose everything.
I love this app. Its perfect for my very specific need of keeping rare and obscure vocabulary. Its the only App Ive found that is for this. I havent come across any glitches, Ive been using it for some months now. Its straightforward and simple to use. I can input any words I want with their meanings and add any tags I want so they fall into specific categories in my word list. Great app! :)

Some bad moments

Ive been looking for an app like this for a while. Thanks for creating it. Straightforward and very simple and elegant.
Since Google discontinued their dictionary, Word World has become worthless. Definitions cant be saved anymore! ZERO STARS!
The app is easy to add words to the problem however is not being able to create an account. I added this app on both my iPhone and iPad….but whats the point when it does not save your information from one device to the other? Who would want to re-add every word into the same app again???? This could be simply solved by the developer setting the app up allowing customers to create an account. I tried to get help however the support link does nothing, the page will not load. Ill be calling Apple tomorrow about a refund. This app is NOT meeting my needs.
This is a great app for learning an obscure language. Would like to be able to sync it with my iPhone & it would be great if it had audio
The only significant downside to this app is that I cannot import or export data from it, say using a CSV format. That way I could use the information on my computer or input data much more quickly after entering it on the computer. Also, the scroll bar in "word list" view doesnt work. It would be cool if that were fixed.
The dictionary works fine but needs some FIXING. For fixes, The app says "Enter/Edit tag" but it wont let me type in a new tag. Please fix this before anything else. Also, Id like the option to have separate dictionaries. One for my chinese vocab and one for my SAT vocab. Finally, I think itd be nice to have reverse options because I am using this for chinese. So, itd need a chinese character, chinese pronunciation and english translation. These adjustments would be very satisfying as I did spend $4 on this app.
