Perfect interface and a good pronunciation feature, along with Google search option (including Korean langage, Thanks!). GOOD!
Great application, of course it speaks when you want to hear the word. That's the reason I bought it, I am looking forward for speech to improve as the technology does. Great job!
I would give it and change it to 5 stars if following gets fixed: 1) sound ONLY when u wear headphones.. lot of times, i dont have headphones handy 2) LOT of sound files are computer generated. 3) not many actual examples how to use work. Okay def, but usage in sentence helps me a lot and its laking that. I mean it has lot but not as much usage in sentence as i would like. VERY good dictionary tho.. those 3 things would def earn this dictionary 5 stars.
Now this program is updated to 2.0. The interface is really nice and looks great! To tell the truth, I bought other dictionary (A~H~D) at the price of $29.99. That has really ugly interface. it's impossible to tap-searching words in the explanation of a word. So now I use the Speaking English dictionary more frequently. I really recommend this!! I guess many people made a complaint on the first version of this app. However, If you use it, you will be satisfied. ---------------- version 1.x If it were $15, I should not buy it. However, it is not just $0.99 now (Dec 22). It contains pronunciations so I can hear the sound. You can use advanced search with wild cards, anagrams, phonetics. Because the dictionary is based on the Wordnet data, so it contains many words with simple definition and synonyms, hypernyms... I recommend this..!
most definately better than any other dictionary/ thesaurus app. the best features about it is the grammar aide, the large variety of synonyms/ antonyms/ adjectives, and the options of changing the font; size etc., and using the Internet. well done. I haven't checked, but I hope it's an offline app. since there isn't wifi everywhere. surely it could use longer definitions... needs to be more in-depth. :] Thanks.
THIS APP WOULD BE THE BEST IF VOICE SOUND WERE CLEAR. BUT THE SOUNDS ARE TERRIBLE. COULD YOU IMPROVE THE SONDS THEN I WILL GIVE YOU 6 STARS
Really complete English dictionary, worth a lot more then the $15, great job Devs!
I updated it two weeks ago,after that update this app is very very slow.Could you fix it?
