    Why would they do this? It’s not like the handful of database entries for this feature would cost some huge gob of money. Bizarre.

      this explanation they gave is retarded.

      Unfortunately, since the coding technology that was used in the previous app version is different from what is used in the new app, it is not possible to recover word lists.

    Not shocking, but really wild that they claim that shit like saved lists “can’t” have been carried over or exported. Giving zero heads-up is the most “fuck you” part of it for users (especially saying it to people that bothered paying). I hope that it creates even more converts to piracy in general, and that what money they were getting goes to zero. Also hoping that any FOSS projects (would be nice to see free but proprietary ones also) that use dictionary.com as defaults or in API quickly remove them.
