I was excited to find this so cheap. Now I know why. While the title calls this the Super 2011 Edition, it is just a skeleton of the print version. For example, there are only 15 or so words under the letter G. I hope my copy grows if the ebook is updated,
I can only assume the 5 people who rated this 5 stars are friends of the publisher or something, as this is a total waste of even 99c. Where's the rest of the words??? The lists are ludicrously short and the chances of there being a word you need are slim.
Try to imagine paging through endless pages for 15 to 45 minutes just to eventually, maybe, land on the word you want to look up. Or searching the book for a given word, say "trust", and trying to find the appropriate heading--can't be done. You're shown several pages of "locations" with a small snippet from the book including the word itself, none of which provide you with enough information to know if the "location" bears the related words you're looking for. That's what you're in for with this thesaurus. You're better off getting the printed version, which is beautifully organized.
To answer one reviewer's comment right off the bat, the edition of this Thesaurus I bought did have a search function which served me quite well, since search functions are essential in reference works of this size.To some other reviewers who said there seemed to be a whole lot missing, they are probably thinking of a Thesaurus in dictionary form. This is NOT in the form of a dictionary, it is laid out by "idea", in a hierarchical fashion, as Peter Mark Roget originally did almost 2 centuries ago. For that reason, those short lists of words at the beginning are misleading in giving the impression that there is a lot less than there is. On the "g's" for example, I queried "grace" and "good" and found lots of synonyms, and even its own major category "618. Good".I gave it only four stars because it did not have the kind of alphabetical index in my hard copy of Roget, and because its last entry is 984 Heterodoxy, while in my "latest edition", the last entry is 1075 Space Travel. I suspect this is copied from a Roget edition from about 50 years ago. I don't mind the absence of the index so much because of the search function, which replaces it.
With the 5 star rating I saw I expected it to offer alot. Unfortunately, it didnt even really give a very good list of synonyms for words I looked up.
This book should not even be called a thesaurus, why lets call a couple bucket seats and a frame a car.
What a total waste of money and time. although it was was cheap and loaded quickly it was still a waste !!Guess I should "try a sample" of everything before I buy... had to give it one star but it really doesn't deserve even one...
Most of the bad reviews seem to be from people who haven't bothered to figure app out. Ask or keyboard!!!! To look up "kiss" you must ask for key board. Gives thesaurus selection. It works like it should. Very useful.
