Dictionary.com's iPhone/iPod Touch app's layout has drastically changed…for the worse. It is now less easier to use, ugly and slower. WHAT HAPPENED? It used to be one of my most used apps and it was pretty much a perfect layout before. The only problems I saw was sometimes going to the Thesaurus.com homepage and not for a synonym of a word done in Dictionary.com and the lack of means to select all words searched in the history and delete them.
The new layout just adds in more problems. The menubar has uncommonly used features, at least stuff that I wouldn't use like rating. The Thesaurus.com section should be there as it has now moved to a part of the page so it can't be anywhere you scroll to. The colour scheme is even wrong as it makes the layout seem unofficial and just plain tacky
Why did they opt for this unnecessary, cluttered and blatantly inferior "upgrade"? A major downgrade it is, instead. Really, this isn't change. Change should only be done if a concept is flawed. Dictionary.com was flawed in terms of it's design in this case and should have jus been given new features and stuff.
If this layout is here to stay, then I will delete the app and stop using their services.
