Ratings and Reviews
Best English dictionary I’ve found
I’ve bought a few dictionaries over the years and haven’t found them satisfyingly helpful. The ones I expected to be good aren’t and I tried this a few years back. I love it. It is thorough, has copy function (long press) and is exceptionally clear. Kudos and keep up the great work!
Hands Down, the Best
The snappiest, handiest, and the most affordable “good” dictionary I’ve bought so far, having bought a couple of +$20 ones since 2013. So it just occurred to me now, after like, two months, that this app truly deserves a nice review.
You’re a native or an academic looking for a dictionary? Don’t hesitate, trust me!
P.S. I don’t work for HarperColins, if you wonder, better add, yet!
Perfect!
