Help to understand how strong a word is
It would be really useful to know how synonyms are sorted in their "seriousness". Sometimes I'm just not sure if the word is too strong or too weak to use.
Having some system (labels, numbers) to know would help.
For example, I would arrange from weakest to strongest:
Sympathize > Like > Adore > Admire > Love
Chilly > Spooky > Worrisome > Scary > Dreadful

App for PC
I think power thesaurus is fantastic sometimes I go through several different Thesaurus' starting with one word, in search of just the right alternative but when I found power thesaurus I found that wasn't necessary. The only problem is, I do most of my writing on my PC or with pen and paper. If I need to look up a word my go to is either my personal hard copy dictionary/thesaurus or my PC. However, as anyone with wifi knows a stable internet connection can't always be relied on. So, I just wanted suggest I'm not the only one that…

Public API
PowerThesaurus needs a standard REST API for basic CRUD operations, so that other apps and services can talk to PowerThesaurus. Something like this:

It would be really cool to be able to filter the search results by number of syllables

American and English spellings of the same word
It makes little sense to me that American and English spellings of the same word have separate entries with different results. For example, behavior and behaviour, or colour and color. These entries should be combined in my opinion.
8 votesAt the moment our position is that American and English spellings have different usage based on demographics and locality. Hence the choice of best suited terms might be different. Please discuss…

Definitions by users
A "new" definition would have to be reviewed to make sure it's not bogus or just very uncommon.
8 votesWe do have this functionality in plans. However at this stage we are focused on thesaurus entries and making sure that we deliver this part right.

Page that displays top synonyms, top antonyms, and the definition
Create a page for each word that displays some top synonyms, top antonyms, and the definition so you can see everything on one page.
7 votesWe started the development of ‘thesaurus’ page that will show top:
- synonyms
- antonyms
- related terms
- example sentencesIt will be shown to some users during test period while we check how it affects users and the navigational patterns.

Accounts: Upvoted words
I love this service but sometimes I'll find a word I want, move on, and then have a hard time finding it again
It would be nice to have accounts (optional) so users can:
- view all upvoted (and, I guess, downvoted) words
- this also encourages users to be more proactive about upvoting because it also acts as a bookmark (which helps the site's content)
- Could possibly be connected to word maps which would be cool because it would encompass all the user's favorite words and even show connections
- have an easier time adding new words because…7 votesUser accounts have been added in 2020.
All votes are done by registered users only and are stored internally.
We also consider to add a section (similar to current favorites, searches, suggestions) in Accounts to view upvoted terms.

Choose An (X) Amount of Words To Share Lists
What if there was a way to choose two (or potentially more) words and share their lists? For example, if I chose the word "Plan", and I want to find something that rhymes with "Plan", but is also a synonym, antonym, etc. of the second word, i.e "Man".
6 votesThank you for this idea! We have already discussed something similar. Specifically to be able to combine synonyms and broader terms. We will be reviewing all current ideas shortly and be planning for future updates accordingly.

Automatically show the "quick view" of the first word, in the search suggestion.
Currently, you have to hover the mouse over the word on the dropdown to have the quick view of this words synonyms. By automatically opening the quick view of the first word (which is most of the times the preferred result) makes the search lighting fast and real time, without the need to grab the mouse or press the "down" arrow.

Download results as a text file
Add download feature that allows you to get a text file of the results for the word you are searching for. Thank You.
4 votesThis might be a useful feature for teachers and other professionals who use Power Thesaurus for further similar work.
Could you please use comments to give more info on planned usage? Should it be just a simple text file with terms one on each line?

to add keyboard shortcut to hide and show the add on in Google docs
Having a keyboard shortcut to hide and show to the interface of the powerthesaurus add-on in google docs could be a great help.

Please enable personal emails and passwords for logins. At present you seem to only enable login by Facebook, Twitter and Google.
Minimize the use of Facebook, Twitter and even Google. All promote statist tyranny be it a fascist or socialist variant. When you support them you are behaving as Lenin predicted: "The capitalist will sell you the rope with which you will hang him."

Place word definition on the same page as synonyms
As it stands users need to follow a link to view word definitions. It'd be nice if the most common definition of a word could be placed on the same page as the synonyms.
4 votesThe most common definition for list terms will be available from sub-term menu on the same synonyms page.
As for primary term – at this stage we believe that combining both definitions and synonyms on the same page might create unnecessary visual noise and would shift focus from current clean list of terms.
Please discuss in comments.

Definitions on the synonyms page in the drop-down for each word
In the drop-down for synonyms, you could easily have the definition underneath the synonyms for that word.
3 votesThis idea has been discussed internally for a while now and has been approved. The most relevant definition (based on part of speech, meaning) will be shown in expandable menu for items above mutual & unique terms.

Add personal glosary.
I want to be able to create a list of words that I've searched for.
It could be a simple list, containing only the terms without any additional info, but they must be clickable, so I could easily search again.
I also would like to be able to download that list as a simple .txt file OR to be able to copy all terms in the list at once.
I often find myself searching for the same terms, so an option like that would be really helpful.
3 votesThe new version will allow registered users to access their search history with ability to sort by date or frequency.
