[1:] With Apple's (or some other) on-screen keyboard (OSK), we type a word into the Terminology Search box ( high in the left‑side navigation column ), e.g. "mail" or "a la carte" or "a priori" ; → [2:] The wider right-side screen area gets info about in casu "mail", bordered at bottom with 6 buttons ( representing a magnifier, a leftward arrow, a North-East-ward arrow, a pen on paper, a favourite mark, and a list ) ; [3:] We dismiss the OSK, or dismiss the navigation column, which also dismisses the OSK, → [4:] UFL those mentioned 6 buttons remain on their row, blocking explanatory info from fully filling out available physical screen space downward ; [5:] Switching forth and back to/from note editing in Apple's Notes app "magically" results in Terminology filling out screen space more down to the bottom where suddenly our 6 buttons have been relocated to. [6:] Can't tell me all this behaviour is "by design", is it ? ----------------------------- ♦︎ Terminology v7.0.1 on iPadOS v26.0.1 ; ♦︎ 2025.10.13.Md.17:00.iPm.

Been using this one for years, always helpful, good tools like faves and history of search and all kinds of nice stuff. Related words, etc.

Can you add a way to review your favorites? I understand there can be varying definitions for a word, so flash cards could be dealt with a way to favorite a specific definition of a word, perhaps. Maybe a quiz as well. The definitions used in this app are the most succinct, which allows one to recall new words much easier

I would like to thank the developers for their app, Terminolgy. Simplistic yet functional design, various dictionaries empower me to learn new vocabulary and explore the nexus of English

I used to Love this apps looks, layout and functionality. Even though it did not have a very large vocabulary. I loved the way I could add a note that showed up on the definition page. Now they changed the app, and have stolen my data. They’ve made it terrible looking, & nearly useless, unless you buy their subscription.

I bought Terminology *way* back when it first came out and had already gotten more than my money’s worth. However, over the long years between version 4 and version 5, the accumulation of “bugs” caused by iOS changes had led me to stop using the app. The developer was clearly very talented (check out Drafts!) however they were no longer making enough money to continue development. So imagine my surprise when an update shows up, has new features like a completely updated dictionary (version 4’s hadn’t be updated since the 1980s) and a subscription business model like Drafts’ that has enabled that app to continue working for me since it’s original release. I am ecstatic that Agile Tortoise has taken the incredible effort and time to overhaul Terminology and any niggles I have about interface changes and are just that, niggles. Also, complaints about functionality loss are simply from Agile Tortoise having to fix so many years of breaking changes caused by iOS updates (which is why Version 5 won’t run on anything before iOS 18). The most common complaint about resources and the header bar has already been fixed into Version 6. Agile Tortoise is one of the best small developers in the business and being able to support not one but *two* apps with the depth of Drafts & Terminology is incredibly impressive. Most excellent small developers can only manage one and many a couple other small utility apps. So ignore any current low rating reviews complaining about changes. I understand where they are coming from but they are by customers who don’t understand how iOS development works and how Apple has prevented the old “buy once, own forever, pay for regular updates” model from being possible. Amazing indie apps going subscription is about small developers being about to support a middle class family, not about gouging their customers. $4.99/year is a steal compared to the value I get from Terminology. (Also, I deliberately avoided the discounted lifetime unlock. It’s clearly too low to support ongoing development and if you care about this app remaining useful in five years, the discounted $4.99/year launch subscription is the one you want to choose. It’s about the cost of a single McDonald’s Happy Meal and it will guarantee that Agile Tortoise will be able to afford to keep Terminology working again). This may read like a paid advertisement but it’s really not. I’ve had too many apps I loved from the early days of the iPhone simply stop working because small developers couldn’t afford to keep updating their app. There have only been a few from back then, like Overcast, Omnifocus, Fantastical that have managed the transition to the new world of subscriptions. And the latter two are actually small businesses, not one developer shops like Agile Tortoise.
