It

Its WordWeb, so thats always a plus. And five bucks?! Another BIG plus. Finally, someone understands the Laffer curve.

However, after using the Windows version for years, there are a few features I expected on this first release.

1) When you highlight a word, then open WordWeb, the highlighted word should be searched and displayed already.
2) When you copy a word, same thing. Its in the buffer, WordWeb should already have it displayed when it opens.
3) Comparing synonyms with the pc version, this version is lacking. Plus, in the PC version you could just click the synonyms tab, or the other tabs (type of, types, etc). Here, its not as straightfoward. You have to scroll down and look for matching symbols.

As a writer, I need a good thesaurus. The PC version was good. This version will be good, hopefully. Interesting that the free PC version is better than the paid-for Mac version.

In the PC version, you had a taskbar icon, so the program was already loaded in the background. In Mac, you could have the same thing. An icon could be in the top bar, same bar where the date/time, battery life is displayed. Program runs in the background, you click on the icon, whatever word is highlighted or in the buffer, that word is displayed.

But overall, Im glad they released this. Beats all heck out of the Mac dictionary.
