Reviews

Introduction

Grammar snobs, spelling bee champs, and editors unite in celebration of this awesome iPad app from Dictionary.com! It provides a whopping 2,000,000 definitions and synonyms, 850,000 example sentences, and countless other features to boost your vocabulary like nothing else.

You can pretty much guess what you’re going to get with an app like this, but I really love the way the developer has made the effort of also including tons of content in above and beyond the basic definitions, synonyms, and so on.

There are a handful of top-notch dictionary apps available in the Reference category of the App Store, and this is easily one of the foremost of the bunch so I think you’ll be well served if you invest a few bucks into it.
