- Customizable definitions let you select what you want to see. You can display synonyms, antonyms (opposite words), hypernyms (more general words), hyponyms (more specific words) and related words (category words).
- The only dictionary in the app store with advanced high quality Text-to-Speech capability to say defined words out loud (tap the 'speaker' button to hear the word).
- Pronunciation guide in either IPA or Merriam-Webster style notation.
- E-mail button to e-mail word definitions, allowing you to access them anywhere.

- History of previously searched word.
- Optional translation of words being looked up to Spanish, Italian, French, German and Japanese. Translation uses Google translate and requires an internet connection.
Note that Dictionary does not require an internet connection.

Awesome!

Its the best dictionary Ive used. And its only 5 bucks. The developer is constantly updating so if you want something done and you tell them it chances it will be done.
Best dictionary

I gave this app 5 stars because I constantly use it. Simple, easy to switch between dictionary and thesaurus. I don't use the extra features like speech, rhyming, or translation. But I would like to see antonyms added for the next update. The large app-size is a bummer, but that's a small 'space' to pay for a dictionary that includes every word I've looked up so far.
So-so

Bought this for the voice pronunciation. Doesn't work great. Dictionary itself is inferior to the free one in several areas. Liking this less and less as I use it. The free Dictionaire is much better.
Wow

I got this app in order to read a book with a lot of difficult words. There has been 1 word out of about 30 at least, that it hasn't been able to identify. Great UI, but I suggest making the "more" tab at the bottom customizable like Apple did the iPod app. Really worth it!
Good

I did not regret getting this app and nothing is rong with it.I know you will like it too,and it will be worth the money.so you should get this app too because you don't even need wi fi for the definition so that is what makes this app even better....you should get it.
