One of my favorite dictionaries

I have been using this for 10+ years! No matter what mobile platform I use, one of the must-have apps is this dictionary. Especially recommend it for those who prepare for GRE.
Best dictionary
@Tysen
If you truly want a good dictionary to build up your vocabulary, you should get this one. Also, it offers you the best pronunciation.
THIS IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL!!
TheGrams2
NOOOOO!! DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS APP!! Please... Return this App to a functional Dictionary! This is driving me crazy!! In searching for a word that I could not recall, except that it begins with OU... I hit the OUT spot and there are HUNDREDS OF FRICKING ENTRIES for the word OUT! LU-DI-CROUS!!! !! ??? PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK!!! THIS ISN’T GOOGLE SEARCH IT’S A DICTIONARY!!! This Update is HORRIBLE!!! The BOLD print of a few letters is VERY distracting, and NOT helpful in any way! If I type a few letters to search for possible word spellings, or the like, I don’t want to see those few letters hi-lighted! And when searching spellings or words, SCROLLING THE LIST IS NECESSARY! WHY would you drop that feature??? How about spending your time actually updating definitions??!! Instead of destroying the App completely!! I have found many times it is missing common definitions, particularly when a word has several meanings. & The Thesaurus is sorely lacking!! VERY ANNOYED WITH THIS APP!!! ? PLEASE Return this to a functional Dictionary!!!

Great except only one issue
LtDanAg01
I love this app and use it all the time. It is great I love being able to hear the words spoken. Except I have this one issue against it: when I click to search a word I want the search field to be blank as if prepared for my new search not to display the last-searched term. It requires me to click the “x” to clear out the search field which is frustrating.
