“A very useful writing tool”

Arthur B.
1/8/18

I have found this website to come in very useful for many purposes in regards to writing, I use it routinely for school papers as a means in aiding me in helping find words that fit well into my literature, and have even used it when writing and revising resumes. I also like the feature it has where you can switch between the thesaurus mode to dictionary mode as needed.

“Their new website sucks.”

I swear it gives different (and worse) results to your query as soon as their website facelift arrived. It's incredibly inconsistent and has a horrible layout. For example, it will give you synonyms for an adjective that, when substituted directly, renders the sentence in question grammatically incoherent and senseless.

I have used Thesaurus.com almost daily for the last 15+ years while it lived indefinitely on an open tab in my Chrome app. I have completely relied on it to not only optimize my knowledge, better my work as well as showcase my need to be superior. But more importantly, to release me from a self-inflicted gridlock that occurs every time I am unable to think of one specific word while 20 others like it spring to mind. Nothing about it was broken. That is, until you 'fixed' it! The new and completely different website design you've replaced solid gold with is a disgrace to the Thesaurus name! The worst part of it all is that every single other wanna-be Thesaurus.com website, including their own botched attempt at new and improved, does NOT get the jobs done!
Conclusion?. My life itself is unresolved. Indefinitely.

Tip for consumers:
Put it back!! ... Please?

Thesaurus.com used to be AMAZING, but the new format/layout is TERRIBLE! And they have MUCH LESS options in synonyms! I used to use that site OBSESSIVELY and now it just SUCKS! Very disappointing how so many websites keep changing formats for the WORSE (IMDB and DUOLINGO being other good examples). "If it ain't broke don't fix it"! Just STOP messing with perfection! I'm tired of this crap!

The thesaurus function is good quality and I need one: I am a professional editor. But I have switched to the similar Merriam-Webster service because Thesaurus.com randomly & disturbingly launches and blares audio ads (!) if I leave the tab open during my workday. Unacceptable. I tried to contact them but had no luck.

Thesaurus is one of the most useful and genuinely helpful writing tools on the web. It can come in handy for everyone, students and professional writers and copywriters. I never had any technical issues either and I have been using it regularly for years now.

I love this website and have used it for years in association with some of the work that I do on a daily basis. However, in the last couple of months, I have tried to contact the site AND it's parent company because there's an issue that is crossing several computers and several Windows OS that is shutting down the IE and/or the tab being browsed in and forcing a reload with a small pop-up indicating that there was a problem with the website. I have contacted them through their sister site, Dictionary.com, and parent company Ask.com and gotten absolutely zilch for a reply. The computers that are encountering the problem are XP and a brand new Win7 both of which are fully updated at all times and both have additionally reported the issue through auto-reporting of failures/crashes/etc.
