• Etymologies (word origins) You will find a clear and brief account of the origins, history, and sense-development of a major part of the modern English vocabulary. For example, you will learn that the word 'quarantine' comes from Italian quarantina ‎(“forty”), from quarantina giorni ‎(“forty days”). Originally when a ship arriving in port was suspected of being infected with a malignant, contagious disease, its cargo and crew were obliged to forego all contact with the shore for a period of around forty days. • Database updates • UI improvements • Bug fixes

My go to dictionary
Free. No adds. Fast. Does not collect user data. Links to similar and opposites. More specific alternatives, less specific alternatives. Pronunciation. Usage examples. Origin/etymology. Well organized and easy to read. Simple and to the point. No word of the day or gimmicky distractions. I offloaded the Oxford and American dictionary apps in favor of this one.

Been using it since I came out 12 some years ago. Not sure what more you can ask for out of an app. It’s a dictionary. It has every word I look up.

Ridiculous!
This has to be THE WORST dictionary ever! A dictionary should define a word- Period! It does not need to list EVERY possible use of that word as a separate entry!! And should not list every phrase the word is used in as separate entries!! Type in “A”, “And”, “At”, etc- and there are literally HUNDREDS of entries for the word! A few examples can be easily listed in the definition, NOT as separate entries!! A dictionary SHOULD be scrollable- one should be able to type in a few letters and see the words beyond that in the entries, without having to change one letter to continue thru the list! Fo

A 5-star app that STILL isn’t.
I’m still waiting for that simple bookmark sorting feature. 11 yrs and counting! To the reviews that say there’s no thesaurus…follow the word links. Every word on any page is a live link to another page with more similar words. Isn’t that what a thesaurus is? Links to words that are similar? It’s not a 3-star app either. I’ve used this app for years(iPad 2, 2012 I think?) but even after all this time, the bookmarked word list STILL has no sorting function, not even alphabetically. If you’ve bookmarked hundreds of words as I have, it’s a slog to do it manually. Grab a W word from most recent

No synonyms
Indicated as a great thesaurus but only offers a handful of synonyms and only ny reading through the definitions of a word

Excellent. Needs bookmark export.
This dictionary is far above average — excellent in many regards. My one wishes that they would add the ability to export bookmarked words – e.g. for vocabulary building, or other uses.

Succinct and clear
This has been my favorite dictionary for years. I use several dictionary apps, but this dictionary stands out for the clarity of the brief definitions. It is available offline, and word definitions include less- and more-specific words, pronunciation, and an etymology section.
Aceraceae2020-08-02
★★★★
Has no authentic pronunciations
This app is not forthright about its "pronunciation feature". It claims it has "superior pronunciations" from three different English-speaking regions yet all it does is make your phone read it, ie. machine-pronounced that sounds flat and unnatural. This is NOT superior in anyway compared to what digital dictionaries normally provide: vetted human-recorded pronunciations with clear dictions and accents from native speakers.

Periodically I read and of course some of the things I read aren’t always fully understood by myself. Today I am reminiscent of a past I had known for love of life itself and to help stand up even if not asked. At times we must do things that lead us down paths that might be better suited for a Knight of more distinguished honor and than oneself. Being truly humbled by such a vast amount of the English languages which has included many slang terminologies. Having forgotten many things I find myself coming back to attempt to concrete things in my mind and yet life has been nothing less than a

Best Dictionary - Hands Down
This is literally the best dictionary in the App Store. It has all the words that the others don’t have. Seriously, try looking up chthonic in another dictionary. For me the point of a dictionary is to be able to look up the words I don’t know, and this is the only dictionary that has all of the esoteric words I might come across. And I don’t usually leave reviews, but I want to do what I can to help keep this app around because, let’s be honest, most people aren’t looking at quality dictionary apps. They’re using whatever free app they can get and. It realizing what their missing. AL

Excellent app
Best dictionary I’ve seen. I hope they don’t update it. It’s clean, useful and comprehensive. I read philosophy and often find words I’ve never heard of before. This dictionary dispatches all unfamiliar words and has not failed me yet (one or two years in!)! It is well worth the investment which is nominal anyways. I love that it has etymology too. I love seeing the origins and usages of words, and this app sates that curiosity with concision and clarity! Thanks.

A truly great dictionary.
I have had this dictionary since 2016. I am impressed with its coverage of all words. If you have misspelled a word, it gives you several options of the word you might be looking for. It also will give you the derivation of the word: did it come from old French or another language. It will also give you some words which are places or the name of paintings or statues. It also allows you to look at all the words following the one you looked up. I think it is a great dictionary & would highly recommend it. It is also available at a very good price I believe. Take a look! There is an updated 2019

Word lover
I have used this dictionary for years, easy to use, always what I need...use it almost daily. However, recently you changed the “computer voice” to male. To say it is horrible, is an understatement. “Voice” not clear or distinct. Could you please go back to the original, clear “female” voice. If you do not I will be looking for a new dictionary App. Thank you Joan

Best dictionary app
We use this app mostly when we’re playing games and it really is the best and easiest one to use. Love that I can scan down the page for interesting words instead of flipping through words. Don’t use it for pronunciation though. Husband also has it on his phone!

Dictionary application in my phone.
I think it’s great! I am a poor speller. The microphone saves me when I can’t get close to the correct spelling by entering my version of how I might spell the word. I usually don’t leave home without my phone but I will always leave home without my dictionary. Thanks
