- There are "better" apps than this one you certainly. They.would have to be mode verbose & slower to work with. Undoubtedly they would have a steeper learning curve. This is an elegant dictionary. There is enough of a research tool here to get you to the next stage of researching words or a word. It is easy enough fir a fourth grader to use. I would call it perfect at the price.
- Does a great job at providing multiple, current, up to date definitions!! Never have a problem finding the words I need, and it even comes with a built in, wonderfully accurate THESAURUS, which provides me with all the "variety" of words I need at all times! Thanks to the developer for making a fantastic app :-) :-)
- Excellent for multitasking on my Android when I come across an unfamiliar word online or another app. I can switch over, get my definition and continue back to whatever app I was in. Also a good source of ideas for plays when I'm having some words with friends.
- Perfect can't think of one thing to change. When I read and need to look up a word I star it so it saves and I can look back at all of the new words I've learned!!! Also I can quickly switch from dictionary to thesaurus!!! Add the voice pronunciations sweet!!!
- Widget is nice and can really help expand your vocabulary with a new word everyday. App is also great for when i'm reading my bible and need to look up definitions of some unfamiliar words, and just reading in general.
- I 1st had this app on my blackberry, now that I have a Android..... Wow, I'm blown away by how great the app really is.. So much better features... Must get if u have a affinity with words ..
- The best dictionary app I have ever used so far, and its free.Also it's great for people who can't spell very good like myself. Used this online even before it became an app. THUMBS UP!
- Really wish I could listen to the spanish word of the day like I can listen to all the other words, besides that I use this app atleast five times a day, maybe more and love it!
- I love this apparently it's easy to use and the daily word improves your vocabulary. The thing I like the most is the speak part it will pronounce the word for you
- Easy to use and understand, especially if you aren't a great speller because it gives other possible words that are close in spelling and/or sound.
