Reviews
Not as helpful expected

This internet version is not as good as the hard copy. Not giving enough examples of the use of a word as compared to the other internet dictionaries, like Merriam Webster and it is 3 times more expensive. The font is small. Quiet disappointing.

This is app is great for finding words, phrases, definitions, derivations, linguistic connections, cultural context of words, spellings. It is highly recommended.

Very useful resource. Definitions are easy to find, and the audio is especially helpful if you don’t know how to pronounce the word in question.
Look up the definition of Fascist and see a made-up definition

Need to get an older physical copy of the dictionary for the true definition. It is far left as opposed to far right.
Audio pronunciations not working

Best ever Dictionary for online Dictionary

Can’t beat for the money even though when iOS 11 I had to pay again, which is a downturn. Shame on MobiSystems for making us pay twice for the same dictionary. That should not be allowed. So, 5***** for the Dictionary, but only 2** for having to repurchase it when iOS 11 came out. Highway robbery. I even talked to them and they would even researched my issue. They simply balked that I had not purchased the previous version from them. Would not even offer me the chance to prove my case. Rip off company. But, rip off company of not, one still needs this dictionary, respective of their snobbery, know-it-all attitude, and their lack of offer to look into it further. I had purchased it under a different email address which I had told them about, but still they would not address that issue. That is something we do for various reasons from time to time. Still, an awful company to deal with; so I have now paid more than $40-$50 overall for everything from MobiSystems which should count for something, but they weren’t even will to listen to me or research my claim into the matter. I gave up, which is rarely in my genetic background and purchased the Dictionary again. I only had wished MobiSystems had not been so dogmatic about their being on the right and worked with me and let me prove my earlier purchase of the earlier version of this self-same dictionary several years back. Had they, I would not have had to pay for this new version. As is said in France, c’est la vie.

The dictionary app is indispensable! It is my constant companion and helps me to fully understand both the meaning and writing style of any literary work, articles, or reference material that I read!
