Too small to estimate
It only ranks in small categories, where no app reaches the overall top 100, so there is no reliable figure. Under about $301.7K a month (estimate), usually far less.

★★★★★ the idea of this app is great but there are many bugs!

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ However, now that it is the second day that I have had it, I really don't see any point to it because while I did receive a notification that there was a new word ready, when I opened the app, every single feature was…
★★★★★ It was all fun and games until 2 days in, when the widget on my Home Screen became a blurry ad urging me to buy LookUp plus.
★★★★★ Paywall protected pronunciations. I cannot imagine a list of features that would somehow make this comparable to a real dictionary app. The clipart is dated and distracting, but seemingly the only feature of…

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This app should find words not not find them so i deleted the app and turns out i cant download it anyone.
★★★★★ Hope they can fix these bugs quickly. These problems have lasted about at least 1 week. Otherwise, I will cancel my subscription.
★★★★★ and my history of words I looked up for the past two years is gone.

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ But now, clearly, they've introduced some kind of “AI” into it and it is (as usual) of no help and no change whatsoever, other than the app being slow and clunky and load times taking forever (if the definition for a…
★★★★★ App design is beautiful, some good ideas here, but the AI implementation is slow and limited.

  • i encounter them a lot, and if this app was fixed it would be great. 2★, Dec 13, 2025
  • I wish I felt like this app deserved a higher rating but I've drifted away to other apps that are just as useful, more responsive, and only require a one time purchase. 3★, Sep 11, 2025

Looks great15%

7 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The new design is remarkable, kudos to the developer for recognizing its shortcomings and revamping the app, it's now a near perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality.
★★★★★ I love the beautiful imagery in your app, as all the beautiful pictures in the app make your app more a pleasure to use as a dictionary, instead of just using a plain dictionary containing only words!
★★★★★ Not a huge word base, but I like the UI and the amount of information included.
Fun, addictive11%

5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Bought the lifetime sub because I consider this to be like a physical book but that is constantly updated and I enjoy the word of the day.
★★★★★ I enjoy having a simple word of the day to reflect on.
★★★★★ I have enjoyed using this dictionary on my computer, and look forward to discovering the extra features.
Easy to use7%

★★★★★ This is a really useful app to improve your vocabulary.

The app launches on my Mac when I open it on my phone

I don’t understand why and I don’t like it. This needs to stop. I don’t have any shortcuts set up to do so either btw, before you try to blame me for this.

★★★★★Jun 28, 2026
A Museum

Using LookUp is like stepping into an art museum for words. Its images and typography are bright and welcoming—nobody needs a map to navigate—and I have frequented its galleries for many years now. I have curated my own collections from books I’ve read, loving some and saving others. The Notes feature has allowed me to make my own contributions. I can record where I first stumbled across each new word. Gaskell, Elliot, Wordsworth, and Keats are a few recent authors and poets that your app has helped me navigate, and they also walk its galleries. I am curious to see where the creativity and curation will go next.

★★★★★Jun 17, 2026
Very Mixed Results

I think the app is great. The content and presentation are great. I runs flawlessly on my iPad and my iPhone. I have three different Mac computers. It errors every time I try to open it on all three machines. It has been this way from the start. I’ve written twice to the developer, Squircle Apps LLP. It has been over a month and I’ve never received a response. An online search indicates this is a known problem. The app needs to be fixed or the developer needs to quit advertising they support Mac. It is a lie.

★★★★★May 26, 2026
Nice app!

Ok

★★★★★May 22, 2026
Do not bother

Everything is behind a paywall. Even their “free” word of the day is paywalled after 2 days. Will be switching to a different word of the day app. One that isn’t so greedy

★★★★★Mar 31, 2026
Very disappointed

I was disappointed to see that almost every feature on this app, like the tests and review quizzes, were locked behind “LookUp+.” I eventually settled for just using the word of the day widget, and it worked, but after two days, it expired, and became locked until I purchased the upgrade, meaning I could do literally nothing, and the app became a huge advertisement for “LookUp+.”
