Dictionary.com Pro for iPad for Positive User Reviews
✓ Love it!I use this app ALL the time. I think it's great because it's well presented, you have all the options of whether you want to know what a word means, other similar words, or what words rhyme with it... there are also clear examples of how the word is used, and also if there are similar sounding words that are actually different in context (like boy and bouy. One is a male child the other is a static floating sea anchor that boat moor themselves to). Have tried a couple of other apps before I paid for this one without the adds, and have to say, in comparison they were all rubbish. So yes, I'd definitely recommend this one..Version: 7.2
✓ GoodGood useful app that I paid for ages ago but now too many add on extras wanting more money. I know I don't have to buy them but they should be included especially the mic app..Version: 3.3
✓ Update Update. Update. PLEASEWhat happened to asking for correct pronunciation option since latest update ??????? No microphone anymore..Version: 7.2
✓ SweetThis app is clean, neat and eminently usable and useful. Not as pretty as some but maybe that's something for another iteration. The spoken pronunciation feature is a stand-out. This app leads the pack..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Great appsI have been using this apps for months now and found it very useful, I love it..Version: 4.0
✓ A very useful app.Update: The word pronunciation is again working, and I have uprated to 5 stars. Note: I tried to submit this via your website and "contact us", but it is timing out. I have found this app useful for quite some time now, thank you. Just today I have noticed there is no sound when I press the speaker icon for a pronunciation. This is an up to date version of the dictionary on iOS 13, running on the smaller version of an iPad Pro. The audio is turned up, and verified to be working. I do see the speaker icon flash momentarily, but there is no audio..Version: 7.2.27
✓ Excellent AppA dictionary is an essential app for ipad. This fits the bill perfectly..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Useful helperThis app is easy to use and provides a simple interaction between dictionary and thesaurus. The daily words are also a useful way to broaden vocab. This is a staple in my app library.Version: 2.5
✓ Very handyLove this app! It's to the point and very handy.Version: 7.2
✓ You’ve served my needs very well.Glad I discovered you. Dad.Version: 7.2
✓ I'm happyGreat app. Simple and fast this app does everything I need. Use it everyday. Really pleased I got this app which is something I do not often say. Good job..Version: 4.0
✓ Great App , would benefit from UK or US switchA must-have app with seamless dictionary and thesaurus: well worth the price. It would be an advantage if the user could choose UK, US or both spellings. It currently finds UK spelling, but defines in US..Version: 2.3
✓ A handy tool for writingOne of the ways I revise my creative writing pieces is to look up words and their synonyms to see which ones fit the structure and style of my poems. When I saw this app, I thought it would do the trick. And I've not been disappointed. This is my favourite tool for revision. I have bought the full, ads-free version and I would recommend it to all writers (and learners) of English!.Version: 4.0
✓ Very good online Dictionary and ThesaurusExactly what the title says..Version: 7.2
✓ Not just a dictionaryLove this app!.Version: 4.0
✓ Great ReferenceSeems to be a fairly extensive and well compiled dictionary. Great where spell-checker fails a writer..Version: 7.2
✓ ExcellentHave tried many Dictionaries and Thesauruses (?), all had to be either online or were far too basic. This one is simply perfect. Yes, it has a lot of Americanisms in it but they are easily translated - there's a thesaurus to help do it! :) Great interface and it hasn't fallen down on anything I've thrown at it. Good job and highly recommended....Version: 2.3
✓ My Go To DictionaryI love this app and use it whenever I need to check on a spelling of a word or its meaning ... which is often. Hard to lug around the OED, but this dictionary is always in my pocket..Version: 4.0
✓ FantasticFun, informative,easy to use...I love it..Version: 4.0
✓ Awesome app.I have had the app for many years, and found that I was relying more on this company than the many others out there. I have now even bought all the updates. Totally worth it. Highly recommended! Keep up the good work! It gets better with every update..Version: 7.2
✓ Great appGreat app, so handy, especially in giving you the correct pronunciation of unfamiliar words with the audio player..Version: 4.0
✓ Love this AppI had originally purchased this app for my iPhone 5 and loved it, so, when it came to a decision on whether to purchase the iPad version for my iPad Mini it was a no brainier. This app is worth every penny of it's 2.99 GBP. Buy it folks you will not be disappointed..Version: 2.5
✓ DictionaryThis is a great app I use it regularly if I am listening or reading and a word comes up hey presto I have the meaning plus plus.Version: 2.4
✓ AwesomeI reviewed this before but am being bugged for another after having to reinstall. In ant case it is a very useful app I would strongly recommend..Version: 4.0
✓ Love itThis is a fantastic app. I use it everyday and enjoy learning about new words and the history of language. I highly recommend it..Version: 2.2
✓ A useful toolThe app works well and provides a range of words and helps that are usually sufficient..Version: 7.2
✓ Mine of informationGreat information about derivation of words it is an endless fascination. I also appreciate hearing some of the words spoken - often one only reads them and can't 'hear' them in the head or the imagination..Version: 3.0
✓ Get's better all the timeGreat functionality and makes words fun and interesting.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Great!!!Just started an Open University course and it is fantastic having such a resource available and quick and easy to use. Beats flicking through a dictionary any day..Version: 3.2.3
✓ ExcellentThe developers have done the honourable thing by updating the app to support the upcoming iOS update. I feared it was going to result in the app to be allowed to pass and then relaunched resulting in a repurchase for it and the additional reference materials available. Thankfully my cynicism was misplaced and an app that I use daily has been reprieved - along with my previously installed purchases - thank you and keep up the good work..Version: 7.2
✓ Needs Update for IOS 11Needs iPad update before IOS 11. Update: No longer get message that app needs to be updated since it was updated. Works great..Version: 7.2
✓ A great update!Love the most recent update of Dictionary.I start looking up one word and then follow a trail to half a dozen others. Really enjoy slide shows and articles.Thank you!.Version: 3.2.2
✓ For for ESLAs an ESL, this app is really good for spell checking. Can't live without it!.Version: 3.2.1
✓ GoodHas what I need..Version: 4.0
✓ All time favouriteHave been using this app for several years. Have used it during post-grad studies and for everyday use. It's on all my devices. Invaluable!.Version: 4.0
✓ Mechanical EngineerMore of a Math guy, than an English person. Dictionary comes in handy every time I need to put my thoughts into writing..Version: 7.2
✓ Fantastic on the iPadI love this on my iPad. I wish the purchased upgrades would also transfer over to the iPhone version though..Version: 3.3
✓ DictionaryThis is an excellent reference book. It is easy to use and is most helpful..Version: 4.0
✓ Very good appVery good app but lacks images/ pictures. A picture is worth thousands of words. So, having a picture in definitions for some words eg. names of instruments, food items, internal body organs etc will be very welcome. Desperately waiting for that..Version: 7.2.20
✓ BrilliantThis is the first time in 18 months I have been asked to write a review. I think this app is brilliant, not just for looking up spellings, pronunciation and meaning, but it offers synonyms and antonyms, and information about the use of words contextually by offering sentences or phrases using the word. Plus, the daily word allows you to dip into the dictionary every day. If we could all learn a new word every day, can you imagine the improvement in our conversations?.Version: 2.5
✓ So usefulReally useful app. It's so much quicker than having to look definitions up on google and the interface of it works really well too. The upgrades are a bonus too, because the scientific dictionary for example will give you more accurate and concise definitions for certain words. Overall a very useful app..Version: 3.2.1
✓ AwesomeI love this dictionary !! It is so simple to use and so complete in its functions.... I love the word of the day.... I try to use the 'word' at least once in that day if I can...that way I am remembering the word and its meaning constantly throughout the day...works for me..Version: 2.3
✓ DictionaryThis is one of the best apps I have, I wouldn't go without it, a five star for sure!.Version: 4.0
✓ 'Online only' complaintsI have only just downloaded this based on many useful reviews, but I don't understand why the complaint about the amount of data that's only available online. I read it as being the dictionary/thesaurus lookup that's available offline. If this turns out not to be true, I'll be seriously p*****d off, but do you want your tablet memory filled with translations, examples, and all the other things you expect to be available online? Bearing in mind the sheer quantity of data you would view once or not at all. And come on...a wired internet connection only is a pretty rare setup hit someone using a tablet at home. Get some perspective and enough with the spurious reviews. In that spirit, this review will be replaced by something more relevant to my experience of the app. For now, I give a neutral 4* until I have tried the paid content - the free content was excellent and the developer deserves financial remuneration..Version: 4.0
✓ Much improvedLatest update is a great improvement: intuitive and fun to use with friendly interface and some welcome new features. Has become my primary dictionary..Version: 3.0
✓ DNEndlessly informative and useful. Dare I use the word 'fun' ? The app is nice looking and well organized, and supplies a most stimulating environment for the lover of words to explore..Version: 3.3
✓ Essential toolI don't know if there's anything to add. If you need a dictionary, look no further. I don't need to google 'meaning' of words or 'how to say it differently' anymore. Especially when writing my assignment. Everyone should have one of those!.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Great Dictionary/Thesaurus rubbish Rhyming addonFive stars for Dictionary/Thesaurus, less 1 star for new layout which is clearly aimed at those with extremely poor - or no - eyesight - disappointing when 'zoom' exists. Rhyming addon is unbelievably poor, being unable to identify that words ending in '-ight' can rhyme with words ending '-ite'. 4 stars.Version: 3.1
✓ Best Collection of Words (and such) ... EVER.Very handy and incredibly useful. For most of my life I wished for a Dictionary to be available ALL THE TIME; now, there is! I use this APP every morning for the 'Word of the Day', and keep using referencing it throughout the day for clarifications and general interest. Excellent tool for learning. I love that they keep refining and adding to the APP. The new features have taken the place of other APPs, making this one a 'one stop shop' resource. 11/10 final score 😣😬.Version: 3.2.3
✓ So far so good.I haven't used it much so far, especially the thesaurus so there maybe good points and bad points I've not yet encountered. But so far, seems good, better than flipping through huge volumes of Oxford catalogues!.Version: 2.5
✓ Canot find the words.Greatest dictionary I have ever used does not describe the value of this handy dictionary. It's right there when you need it and is a comprehensive source for all my word needs. An invaluable asset..Version: 4.0
✓ Easy as ABCI bought this app for my 9 year old daughter and it is one of the best purchases I have made from the App Store. I started her off learning one different word every day and then jumping to the Thesaurus for various alternatives. Her vocabulary has improved and she engages in conversation on a much improved level. I don't normally write reviews, but this is a great app for both adults and children and it deserves 5 stars from me..Version: 3.0
✓ Great helpUse it several times a week when working or reading. Quick guide to meanings, synonyms etc..Version: 3.3
✓ Great DictionaryI like this dictionary. I use it for my word games. It’s a great app to have handy..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Dictionary ad freeLove this app, it's a go-to for definitions, love word of the day, and comparisons of similar words and word origins. I keep learning something every time I open it. Well done to the developers, the extras like word of the day, the slideshows of language clusters, word origins, and the paid extras are all worth every cent.Version: 4.0
✓ ExcellentThank you to all the developers who worked hard to update this App and make it compatible with IOS 11. It is an excellent App and I enjoy using it daily..Version: 7.2
✓ DictionaryI've tried several similar apps and this one is by far the best dictionary/thesaurus reference book. I'm more than pleased with my purchase and I intend to snap up every update when they become available..Version: 4.0
✓ Great appIt has been very helpful to me as I age and start forgetting how to spell. Use it frequently..Version: 7.2
✓ Good dictionary.I just hope you guys would love to build up on this dictionary by updating this with new words. Btw, this is good enough for me..Version: 7.2.27
✓ A great dictionary/thesaurus. BUT!!!It's fantastic, but they make you pay for the voice search option. 2 dollars for a hundred words? How about no, and you take your hand out of my wallet?.Version: 2.4
✓ GreatI love this App. While I am familiar with most definitions due to my years of very wide reading I sometimes do not know the pronunciation. This Dictionary solves that beautifully with its pronunciation feature. Great for words I don’t know and even better for pronunciation of words that aren’t used that often..Version: 7.2.27
✓ Why would I not rate 5 stars?There is nothings don't like about this dictionary/ thesaurus. It is a complete, definitive guide to what I want to know, and can deliver in 3 seconds. I strongly recommend this, because you'll always return to it for some more :).Version: 2.4
✓ Great little appI use this app on a daily basis and I think it's good value. I enjoy the features such as "Word of the Day", synonyms & antonyms and "Favourites" - this is definitely a convenient and fun way to learn. Only very occasionally have I not been able to find a word so overall, I find it useful and fun..Version: 2.4
✓ Outstanding On-line DictionaryThis is probably the most-used app on my iPad and my iPhone. It has all the features I need and more! I simply love it!.Version: 3.1
✓ Excellent appVery useful and a lot of fun!.Version: 4.0
✓ Awesome dictionary!So the developer updated this app right before the release of iOS11, that’s 3 years after the previous update! Congrats to the reborn! I love this app on iPhone, and it gets even better on iPad now. But I hope developer can bring back the translation feature which I think is very convenient in app..Version: 7.2.1
✓ DictasticLove it.Version: 4.0
✓ Worth ItThis app is worth the $5 to get rid of those annoying ads in the free version. It is also a lot cheaper than paper dictionaries and I find it to be more convenient as well..Version: 2.2
✓ ExcellentYes, it's an excellent dictionary, I use it daily and have for years. Since I now have an iPad, I'm switching to to their appropriate app..Version: 7.2.27
✓ Iron Sharpening IronThis tool is used daily and is a must for anyone in any profession where, writing, reading or researching are part of the daily routine. It exercises both my mind and vocabulary as I go about my daily tasks. Highly recommended!.Version: 3.1
✓ Happy with this appI love the word-of-the day. Great that there is an audio option to hear those tricky words. The only downside is that it doesn't integrate with any of the reading apps (iBooks, Kindle or iAnnotatePDF) for offline word lookups, but its not a major issue..Version: 2.5
✓ IndispensableTruly one of my most go to apps..Version: 3.3
✓ I love you to death..and reference you at least 5 times a day...never leave me..♥️I’m the most articulate person anyone knows..and I didn’t get there by myself...👵🏼.Version: 7.2
✓ MeLove it.Version: 4.0
✓ What has happened?Since writing below ant following your email I have now sorted out the in app purchase and have my rhyming dictionary thank you. Just now need the word spoken when I click on the loudspeaker and I will be delighted...... This was one of my favourite apps. However, a few days ago it was upgraded and I can no longer hear the pronunciation of a word. Also, although I purchased and was charged for the rhyming dictionary add-on it hasn't downloaded and I have been charged for it. Urgent update needed please..Version: 3.0
✓ Word of the DayThis is my favourite function, I love the fact that it teaches me the pronunciation as well as the meaning..Version: 3.3
✓ Happy for the updateApp has been recently updated and I am a happy camper. Try it you’ll like it. I have changed to a 5 star rating now that it is good to go!.Version: 7.2
✓ Hooray! Updated for iOS 11.Love the app and so glad that they released a new port for iOS 11 compatibility..Version: 7.2
✓ Very reliableI love the app but please optimise it for iPad Pro on your next update. Thank you! :).Version: 7.2.22
✓ Brilliant and most user friendlyI use the dictionary app more frequently than any other. It adds a great deal to my thirst for increase to my vocabulary.Version: 3.2.2
✓ JimboA very useful and handy reference that I use regularly on iPad and iPhone. So much more convenient than flicking through pages in a book-form dictionary. It has definitely expanded my knowledge of words..Version: 2.4
✓ GreatI have been using this for my teaching course, it has really helped. I like the option for other words..Version: 4.0
✓ Word of the dayJust lové it.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Superb appThis app is great; it helps improve my vocabulary with the "word of the day"..Version: 4.0
✓ Love a simple app.Impressed with its ease of use. Shame there are parties who are too cheap to part with a small fee for the audio add-on. Those same folks spend that on one caffeine fix at their favourite coffee shop. Thank you to the developers..Version: 7.2.3
✓ The best available at a reasonable priceI use it every day - with all the add-on plugins. Cost next to nothing in comparison to the famous dictionary apps. Enough said, I think..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Great appVery pleased with this app ..as a person who works with words and is looking for the 'right way ' to put across a message.. I find this app astoundingly helpful.Version: 2.4
✓ An app to have handyRefer to it all the time. Synonyms particularly helpful. Missing the instant back-to-the-previous-word button..Version: 4.0
✓ Fine DictionaryYours is an increasingly fine resource, used every single day by me. Occasionally your Thesaurus fails to identify synonyms, which is disappointing. I love your little extras, and would like to thank you for the latest updates which are cost-free and a great help..Version: 4.0
✓ Solid program!It provides more background information about words that the app produced by Webster. Unfortunately, I'm a product of the 80s, and am still not ready to embrace such crowd-sourced references. I still find myself cross referencing key terms with alternate sources. Dictionary dot com's integrity seems solid. Question: who checks & corrects oversights?.Version: 4.0
✓ All in oneGreat digital reference. Great value. Has more than I expected. Gives me my results every time. Have been using it daily for a variety of reasons. Translator for Greek is ok, dictionary is ok, thesaurus is ok and has exciting way for learning words & language. We'll done to developers. STV..Version: 3.3
✓ Pls add support on iPad Pro 12.9 inchThe app is a well polished one, yet hope you can add better display enhancements on the 12.9 size iPad Pro, thx.Version: 7.2.8
✓ Great app.Love it! Particularly love the pronunciation feature..Version: 7.2
✓ Paid upgrades needing to be re uploaded.I now know that some of the upgrades are not sourced from the same area, I have purchased them all, so if I clear memory or website data they are deleted also, and have to be reloaded, science and medical, it’s not the end of the world but a bit annoying..Version: 7.2.27
✓ The Dictionary Has Never Been Such FunYou can simply look up definitions and spellings if you want. But you can also enjoy the word of the day, stories about the origins of words, learn about the definitions of the signs of the zodiac or scary monsters of film and literature. This is a wonderful app and this version can be used in landscape mode for the iPad, which is great for me, as I use it while I'm working..Version: 4.0
✓ Up to date?I have been using this app for a few years now and have found it very useful. However I am increasingly concerned it will stop working with OS 11. The last update appears to be in 2014 so we must hope they are on the case. There is some weirdness in the search function but generally it helps you find the right word. More frequently I am failing to find definitions for words that I know are correct and am having to use another dictionary to confirm definitions. This is an American English dictionary..Version: 4.0
✓ Don't leave home without it!!It is like a bible for ESL community..Version: 4.0
✓ Well worth the moneyThink this app is great use it regularly and very easy to use well done.Version: 3.0
✓ Excellent AppVery useful..Version: 4.0
✓ Excellent AppMy "go-to" app for all matters relating to words, i.e. definitions, synonyms, antonyms, root languages etc..Version: 4.0
✓ Great App, best dictionary app have triedExcellent features and comprehensive set of words & thesaurus, have tried at least 5 other dictionary apps ( some of them more expensive and with more famous sounding names ) and this by far the best. Word of the day is a simple and wonderful idea, has introduced me to many new words. Love the nearby words, but wish it was extended to more than just the 5 mile limit ( or whatever the metric equivalent is we use in Australia )..Version: 2.4
✓ Great appThis is the best dictionary app. Great articles keep them up. Good defs including etymology and archaic uses. Hope you will keep adding modern usage. Date written to quotes would be good too. I highly recommend it, the kind of app you can enjoy over breakfast and learn a lot!.Version: 2.4
✓ Quite GoodThe dictionary have many functions, but its design is a bit confused, and it really need updates for each functions. Eg the functional translator need to be added more languages..Version: 3.3
✓ ExcellentNot an intrusive app. Will send you daily the "Word of the Day". You can choose whether to look at it or not. I find them quite interesting and they will expand your vocabulary and sometimes they give you interesting topics of conversation. However, the main reason for buying this app is to look up words for meaning, use, grammar etc. this app has it all, it is a very complete compendium of what you need when you are writing anything. I am very satisfied with this app..Version: 4.0
✓ Easy and quickBeen using the app for two years and always found it easy and quick to use..Version: 2.5
✓ Wouldn't be without it.Enjoy having such a great source of correct spelling and meaning at my finger tips. Unlike the hard cover dictionary that used to go walkabout, I know exactly where my online one is, at all times. Always very reliable..Version: 4.0
✓ One Thing MissingPerfect dictionary app, except that I would like to see the origins of words, like on the iPhone app - specifically, I enjoy reading the origins of every Word of the Day :).Version: 7.2.27
✓ Nice appHighly recommended.Version: 3.2.2
✓ Mr CorpusI was sceptical at the advertisement of the app nonetheless, tried it for myself and found it functionality wise to meet my expectations although, it is costly should you down the entire package..Version: 3.1
✓ It's great, but...The quality of the dictionary itself and the general quality of the app is superb. However the amount of micro-transactions is annoying..Version: 3.2.2
✓ Only one issue.Only issue is that it doesn’t support higher resolution of iPad Pro 12”. Other than that it’s awesome!.Version: 7.2.1
✓ Spanish / Arabic anyone.The multi-language feature is great!.Version: 4.0
✓ Missing the sounds. Just need restart the iPadI like to hear the pronunciation for every word. But I couldn’t get any sounds when I click horn sign on the screen. My I-pad is iPad 13.2.3. Please help me to figure it out. I will change the stars after I got the answer. Thank you Just figured it out... Very good app.Version: 7.2.27
✓ Awesome.Despite being able to access plenty of free online dictionaries (i.e, one could argue that it's not necessary to pay for this), the app works offline, is extremely fast, has text predictions as you're typing in the word, is a thesaurus and has fun little 'word of the day' things. Yeah, it's 5 bucks, but it is a genuinely good app. I use it all the time for uni :).Version: 2.4
✓ Incredible app!I got this app thinking that it would only include a few definitions of words and example sentences, but what I got was much more than expected! You can find synonyms and antonyms for words, as well as there being a translator for different languages in the main menu. Overall, great app! I would definitely recommend it to English lovers, or people who wish to expand their vocabulary..Version: 4.0
✓ ReviewExcellent!!.Version: 3.3
✓ Almost perfect.This app represent such great value you will never regret buying it so do yourself a favour and get it now. My only complaint is that there is no dark theme option and the built in negative colour tool that appears in the accessibility section of the iPad settings is of limited use as it makes everything negative including pictures and is a bit of a pain to activate and deactivate, especially if you have already assigned a function to the triple click available for the Accessibility tools. A permanent dark theme would solve this problem and be kinder to tired eyes..Version: 4.0
✓ DictionaryThis is a very useful app. It is easy to use and a very quick reference, gone are the days of searching the paper dictionary, reciting the alphabet to find a word. I recommend this app..Version: 2.4
✓ Now iOS 11 CompatibleThank you for updating this app to be compatible with iOS 11..Version: 7.2
✓ Very usefulWord of the day is handy for a writer like me... Haven't really delved into other functionality like thesaurus ...etc... But it would be nice to easily copy / paste the data from the app, because when you click on a word it takes you to that word.... That has its own usefulness though....Version: 4.0
✓ Love it!I haven't found a dictionary that is more useful than this one. It has unexpected perks such as a translation feature..Version: 7.2
✓ Excellent!An excellent dictionary with good definitions and helpful examples. I like the word of the day feature which is helping me to increase my vocabulary. I'm amazed some people find the dictionary difficult to use; it's not. Ignore them!.Version: 3.2.2
✓ Love itAs someone who loves words it's easy to search, use and gives accurate universally clear definitions..Version: 4.0
✓ Great helpI constantly refer to this work, both pronunciations and definitions. It has not failed me yet!.Version: 7.2
✓ KrispieI don't usually bother rating apps, but this one is the exception which proves the rule. Excellent layout. User friendly. Comprehensive. Informative and amusing. A great resource, and so convenient. I'd be lost without it now..Version: 4.0
✓ An Excellent Reference ResourceI can only commend the work of the people behind this excellent reference resource that I use daily in my study and work related pursuits. I look forward to one day having a offline version for my laptop and desktop..Version: 4.0
✓ Fantastic appVery useful app. Especially love the "word of the day".Version: 4.0
✓ HanwoodianWell produced and easy to use. Thesaurus especially good and far easier to use then my book version when using pc..Version: 3.0
