American Heritage Dict. for Positive User Reviews
✓ My favorite dictionaryI bought my first copy of the American Heritage Dictionary over 30 years ago, and it has been my favorite dictionary ever since then. And that is just as true on the iPad app as it was of the print copy..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Prof. EdwinThe Dictionary itself is excellent but the software causes huge problems besides I bought it twice but still the software insists on buying it again..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Wonderful toolEven though there are 1000 options on the Internet, I love having this app and being able to do what I need without being connected. This dictionary is far better than the ones on the Internet, and I hope they keep it up..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Better than the restMuch much better than any other dictionary app I have seen. Not sure why it’s not the most popular (as I write this, at least.) Check it out!.Version: 10.0.10
✓ Definitely my go-to dictionaryI have a PhD in English and this is my favorite, everyday dictionary. Two features really stand out: the Usage Notes and the etymologies. The Usage Notes give you authoritative advice on difficult points of grammar and usage from a diverse panel of experts. The etymologies are in a class by themselves. They trace words back to their Indo-European and Semitic roots. I have not seen anything like that in another dictionary..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Best DictionaryI have several dictionaries on my iPhone and iPad; however, American Heritage is my first choice, always. It does a great job of listing the different parts of speech of a word, which is an area some other dictionaries fall short..Version: 10.0.10
✓ The American Heritage Dictionary, Fifth editionThis dictionary fits in perfectly while reading online, and discovering words spelled oddly, uncommon words that need definition, even slang that is a little older. Well done! Important ideas for consistently expressing myself and understanding the world. The vocabulary evolves along with each generation..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Excellent Reading ResourceWhile I love my giant hard bound version of the dictionary it’s not always easy to keep it beside me while reading. Using Google to locate a word is okay, but offers scant etymology and inadequate definition. Purchasing this American Heritage app has been really worth it. I keep it on my phone’s home screen and with two clicks and a little typing I’ve got my definition, etymology and all! Very useful and easy app. Highly recommended..Version: 10.0.10
✓ American Heritage DictionaryVery good with easy availability.Version: 8.5.7
✓ The best English dictionaryI am very happy I bought this dictionary. The first soft version came in a CD format. I own two different versions as they were made available in the market. As soon as they were released on line I did not hesitate to purchase that version and I think at least 2 versions have been produced so far..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Great app but now asked to purchase againThis is a great app. As a college English professor, I use it almost daily and strongly recommend it to students. I am not sure as to why I am being asked now to purchase it again. I hope the developer would help in this regard. Thank you!.Version: 10.0.10
✓ Peer reviewed languageI love knowing the richness of words. This is the App for the best dictionary for us Americans. I bought the downloaded version so even in the middle of nowhere, I will still know how to pronounce transient and what to proto-Indoeiropean root is..Version: 10.0.10
✓ A Lexiphile’s friendThe American Herritage has always been my first go to dictionary for definitions and etymologies, and the app continues in that great tradition. Particularly noteworthy is the ability to click on any word and the definition and be taken to that entry in the dictionary! The Word of the Day feature is fun, though a little random, and could benefit from a curated choice of words. In the free version, the ads aren’t terribly distracting, but this tool is so useful it is worth paying the price to support it..Version: 10.0.10
✓ An excellent app that's served me well.I've used the PC version of this for years and was delighted to find it as an app for the iPhone. It's quick easy to use and has been indispensable when finding the right word(s) when conveying an idea(s)or thought(s) to another people..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Constant companionHaving been an avid reader for all of my life, I’ve made it a habit to look up new words that I come across. Therefore, having this app is absolutely wonderful. I can easily look up a words definition on a device that’s always with me..Version: 10.0.10
✓ I wish it would have some sample sentences.I purchased the app because I really love the paper dictionary. I have two copies. After I getting this app, l cannot believe this app has the same dictionary name. The audio is even worse. After using it couple of times, I purchased different app which cost much less, has more feature and audio is much better..Version: 10.0.10
✓ American Heritage dictionaryI know a lot of people have complained about this app but I have loved it for many many years I have the paper copy of the latest dictionary from American Heritage but I love this app in answers everything it shows everything I have never had a problem with it I’ve always been very happy with this app and I was going to update it I thought there was a newer one and they said I already did have it so that saved me extra money because they were honest they told me I already had it. And could have taken my money I am very happy with this dictionary I highly recommend it if you like a good dictionary that gives all the background and the pronunciations and where the word came from this is the dictionary for you.Version: 10.0.10
✓ GreatYes, this costs money, but you get what you pay for. This app is well worth it. As a native English speaker, I refer to this multiple times a week. My job is not writing, but I do write for in my work and read a lot. Most of the time, I’m looking up words that I come across as I read. I discover the multiple meanings and nuances to words that I didn’t know. Also, I use this app for finding out if I’m using a word correctly. I find that we Americans can use words incorrectly without knowing it, form bad habits. I understand that this is how a word’s meaning eventually morphs, but not always the case. I highly recommend this dictionary and app!.Version: 10.0.10
✓ American Heritage DictionaryThis is the best dictionary of American English on the market. It provides solid definitions and sound etymologies. However, what clinched the deal is its notes on usage. It is not the American OED, but it is the best that we on this side of the pond have for regular use..Version: 10.0.10
✓ SuggestionsTwo suggestions: First, make the favorite star button on the same page of the definition of the word to easily find it; it will speed up the process of saving words for future reference without making it feels like an extra work. Second, a highlight option in the application to highlight relevant definitions. Sometimes I would like to read the definition that I earlier found relevant to my studies or profession. I also recommend to have the highlight button on the definition page for easy access. I believe that offering the two suggestions in the premium version of the application makes it more appealing to buy the application with these features rather than the advantage of pronunciation and ad removal..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Great Content, Dated InterfaceThe content is not the issue. The interface is extremely dated and could use some great quality of life and optimization improvements..Version: 10.0.10
✓ My go-to dictionarySo far, I have found every word I searched for, including the different meanings and uses in sentences, and I have looked up quite a few archaic or rarely used words..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Good content, mediocre interfaceThis app would be much better with some UI improvements. First of all there is a bug in the favorites list, when I tried selecting a favorite that I saved from the thesaurus, it brought me to a totally different word. Second, the favorites list does not indicate whether the favorite is a dictionary entry or a thesaurus entry. Third, switching from the dictionary entry of a word to the thesaurus entry should not have to be as much of a process as it is (going back to search, changing to thesaurus mode, re-entering the word into the search bar, then selecting it). Might I suggest adding a button on a word that also has a thesaurus entry to switch back and forth between the two? In terms of the quality of definitions, this is currently my favorite dictionary, but it is a bit of a pain to use the app sometimes..Version: 10.0.10
✓ The American Heritage Dictionary is the best American English dictionaryIt’s simply the best. Nothing more need be said. There are several decent free dictionaries, but I have never regretted paying for this dictionary..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Dictionary wonderful !Wonderful dictionary I have enjoyed this application from the beginning till now for a total of eighteen years!!.Version: 10.0.10
✓ Good dictionary, slow appI have the paper copy of the 5th edition and use this app for when I am away from that heavy beast. This app is almost as good as the book, but is slow, too slow to load and too slow to retrieve a word even though I have downloaded the text and need no internet connection. I have great hope this technical problem will be fixed..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Very useful dictionaryThis dictionary has more extensive usage notes than other apps, and that is helpful to me..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Great AppFor looking up words.Version: 10.0.10
✓ Best American English DictionaryI have used the AHD since the 1970s when I majored in English in college. Its definitions are clear and concise, its usage guidance instructive, and the etymology features excellent. The Indo-European roots included give a depth of information about our language unmatched by any other dictionary. Thanks AHD..Version: 10.0.10
✓ LatinistIncludes AH Dictionary of Indo-European word roots! Priceless!.Version: 10.0.3
✓ Great dictionary but disappointing appThe dictionary is great, but searching for phrases is cumbersome.Version: 10.0.10
✓ American Heritage Dictionary is OutstandingI used this dictionary for 30+ years on paper. The usage guide is helpful. The definitions tend to follow the helpful genus, differentia format. The phone app is convenient everywhere. Zip quickly to related words, derivations, root words that go back Indo-European and Semitic roots. The AHD is like having a history of ideas at your fingertips going back 3,000 plus years. How cool is that!.Version: 10.0.10
✓ App stinks, but dictionary is THE BEST!Anybody who appreciates the English language knows that AHED is the absolute best available, even compared to Oxford, but especially for American English! Alas, the app doesn’t live up to the same standards. It has always been buggy, incorporating annoying design “features”, and now suggests “words of the day” that don’t even exist in the dictionary. Today’s word is “orc“. I do wonder why orc is not included in the AHED, as we have been using this word regularly since playing Dungeons & Dragons in the 1970s, and/or reading Tolkien in the 1960s or, for those really old farts among us: Beowulf in the middle ages. It would be nice to know where the word actually came from; etymology is typically one of the great features of AHED! Anyway, it’s fantastic that we have a handy, portable, digital reference to the best dictionary ever written. enFour just needs to stop trying to be F***book-fancy, and stick to giving us a solid interface to the most magnificent reference tome on our shelves. Two stars for the app, five stars for the book..Version: 10.0.10
✓ RecommendedGreat to look forwards to the new words I’ll learn.Version: 10.0.10
✓ Great appGreat app.Version: 10.0.10
✓ Best dictionaryAmerican Heritage has been my go-to dictionary for decades. So happy to have it at my fingertips now. And, yes, the usage notes continue to be the best feature..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Best Dictionary, Online and Off!As a writer, I need an authoritative and unquestionable source for definitions, synonyms, spellings, and pronunciations. I rely on The American Heritage Dictionary to set me straight. I have for 40 years. The most popular online dictionaries offer cute and contemporary definitions, which are adequate for beginners. However, if you want to know the real weight of your words, look it up in The American Heritage Dictionary. I cannot go through a day without it..Version: 10.0.10
✓ By Far - a Unique Dictionary !Great !.Version: 10.0.10
✓ Daily WordsI love the word for the day. I used a hardback copy of an older published American Heritage Dictionary when I home schooled my children. I liked it so much I wound up taping the binding with duct tape. This is an easy to use electronic version..Version: 10.0.10
✓ The most comprehensive dictionaryBeen using the AHD for almost 50 years. Hands down superior to all the rest. With entomology, you actually learn more than one word’s definition at the same time..Version: 10.0.10
✓ ExcellentThe best dictionary out there. Completely re-written several years ago to include new, modern words, how they’re used in modern culture, there is just one dictionary of American English..Version: 10.0.10
✓ My Favorite DictionaryThe American Heritage Dictionary on my iPhone is a required App. I have used The American Heritage for years and have come to rely and trust this well built reference. This is especially true when reading a book or an article that has a new word. Looking it up is easy, the definitions are clear and this improves my understanding. Thank you!.Version: 10.0.10
✓ Fun fun funAlways helpful and great and makes me smarter really good for school.Version: 10.0.10
✓ The American Heritage Dictionary FIFTH EDITION.The American Heritage Dictionary FIFTH EDITION I learn every time with a new word and it’s meaning..Version: 10.0.10
✓ American Heritage DictionaryHands down the finest dictionary ever created in North America. The clear and exhaustive definitions, the useful etymologies, and the gold mine of the Indo-European roots, all these make the AHD a peerless tool. My only dislike? The color. The hectic orange sets everything on edge..Version: 10.0.10
✓ AudioFor English as a second language speaker, I especially like the audio bit and the off-line availability..Version: 10.0.3
✓ American Heritage DictionaryThe American Heritage Dictionary in still one of the best resources for writers of fiction and poetry. The writer’s work can always appear fresh, interesting; the messages clearly understood by today’s readers. The dictionary continues to be an excellent resource for me throughout the years. I still give it my highest recommendation to present and future writer’s. May the written word live on, especially in today’s society of had held devices etcétera.... Sincerely, Mariano.Version: 10.0.10
✓ Classic dictionaryNo app can be as good as the original book but it is much easier to carry a phone than a paper dictionary. The paper version of the American Heritage Doctionary is a must-have also..Version: 10.0.10
✓ A grand dictionaryWithout doubt, AHD is the finest English dictionary. I treasure my unabridged 5th edition and am very grateful for this much more portable version. Having studied both English lit and linguistics I can assure you that this dictionary and various other features is a reliable go-to, whatever your language needs are..Version: 10.0.10

✓ Word!Well organized and easy on the eye. Great complement to word checks while reading on supported electronic devices. Would, and have, recommend it to anyone..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Excellent productThe American heritage dictionary is my favorite of all dictionaries. And there have been some rough patches trying to get this app launched in a way that was as complete as it’s in print large dictionary‘ and at a fair price. WellIt seems the free version is almost as good as the $20 one of the exception of ads. This app largely has everything I could want for the most part and it makes for a very very useful tool in my line of work as a teacher. I highly to recommend it. Great definitions, decently design and very dependable..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Ed DevlinGreat resource. Even for a Limey..Version: 10.0.10
✓ Best Hard Cover DictionaryI researched dictionaries before I purchased the hard cover edition. I learned a lot about the differences. The American Heritage was clearly the best choice for me. I’ve only started using the app so can’t express an opinion yet..Version: 10.0.10
✓ The Writer’s dictionary.The American Heritage dictionary is excellent. Great to see it in an app..Version: 10.0.10
✓ A Dictionary to be trustedThe American Heritage Dictionary has been my favourite for decades. it protects the Language from the Philistines who would degrade the voice of Milton, Keats and Shakespeare. Long live English!!.Version: 10.0.10
✓ Complete and great pronunciationI’ve long used this app from the early days when it was a huge standalone app with images and pronunciation built in (no need for Internet connectivity). After languishing for years it’s back to its former glory. A must-have app for those who make a living with the written and spoken word..Version: 10.0.10
