American Heritage® Dictionary Pros

✓ Excellent support, app works again on iPhone 1st generationAHD stopped working with the iPhone 3.0 software update, or possibly with the 2.1 update. I wrote to their support and they responded within 24 hours with the following instructions to fix the file corruption: 1) Delete app from iPhone, restart. 2) Delete app from iTunes, restart computer. 3) "Buy" AHD from iTunes store again. A dialog appears (eventually) saying that you've already bought it, but you can download it again for free. Click yes. 4) Connect iPhone. 5) In iTunes, go to iPhone->Applications tab and verify that AHD will be synced if you have chosen Sync Selected applications 6) Click "Apply" in lower left to resync AHD 7) Enjoy!.BWV149Version: 0

✓ Clearly the best dictionary for iphoneHaving robust oral and written language skills allows one to wield more influence in a vast majority of interactions with others. Speaking and writing well is attractive and empowering. The path to achieving these skills begins with reading and a good dictionary. The American Heritage 4th ed. for iphone and ipad is simply the best dictionary available, bar none. I was impressed with the multitude of graphic images that reinforce many of the definitions, sometimes making it feel more like an encyclopedia. The app actually speaking the word quickly resolves any pronunciation arguments with friends who can't read phonetics. I also found the opening essays on the origins of language to be quite engaging. There are so many gems of reference knowledge throughout this app that it is exciting just to explore it and see what else you can find, there are some interesting things beyond word definitions here. I must also say the Enfour's support staff is top-notch. There were some very minor bugs in the initial versions and they have all been corrected in prompt fashion. This is a very responsive group of folks who do great work. To summarize, if you want to improve your language skills and fundamental knowledge, you would be hard-pressed to find a more thorough resource than this volume-in-an-app..TODDDDD.Version: 3.6.1
