I highly recommend it to everyone, who likes to learn new words as the Merriam-Webster generates new complicated words for you to learn every day! It’s absolutely fantastic! You must try it!

Better than OED app

As a regular user of dictionary apps - which, as a general rule, are inferior word sources to paper dictionaries for many reasons - I can categorically say Merrimack-Webster’s offering is far better the OED’s or any other for usability, entertainment, quizzes, and masterful thesaurus. So superior is it, that I have deleted all the other dictionary apps from my phone.

Miriam-Webster, surprisingly well-designed dictionary app

vast in its explanatory richness as well as useful information, mainly free of charge, although still leaves plenty of room for filling into linguistic blanks, as there are always some; it is hard to be exhaustive these days, even when it come to defining word ‘word’.
