Thomas Foster (ID: 000000309c0d4102) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/05/2023 Very helpful with writing.

Matt Wahlberg (ID: 0000002d92217c26) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/21/2023 If you're looking for a simple, streamlined combination dictionary/thesaurus extension for the Chrome browser, this one is among the best. I've tried a lot of dictionary and thesaurus extensions --- "no-frills" types with too few options, and others that overwhelm you with options. Word.ly seems to get it just right with regard to ease of use, reliability, intuitiveness, amount of information provided, and design style. Many thanks to the developer.

Oliver He (ID: 0000000b6f271afc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/14/2020 Loved it. 100% Functional design, and I sometimes have a little fun with the app by pressing an amazing feature, "search last highlighted word!" It's fun to sometimes have a little fun with the app. Aside from this, I can just click the extension, and search the word I want! I am no longer illiterate thanks to this app.
