Ratings and Reviews
Perfect
I personally go through dictionaries learning words as a way of amplifying my vocabulary. eDictionaries have been a goto for me to immerse myself within letters on the go.
This dictionary is one I had always been searching for. Offline capability was my prime attraction and the beautiful part about it is the flexibility it gives you with finding words easily and looking up a word from another one you searched just by clicking directly on them.
The UI is friendly enough and it just works. I only wish to pitch that it will be a great initiative to the developers to add a “Random” section where you can find random words, about 5, to learn their meanings. You can shake the or press a bottom to shuffle the next words and so on. I think it will really be a great feature to most users. But hey, I definitely can not complain as this app is totally free and I am loving every bit of it.
Bookmarks!
This is a great dictionary app with an easy-to-use interface. My favorite part is keeping a list of fascinating words I come across with the “Bookmark” feature.
The only drawback? I couldn’t figure out a way to carry my bookmarks over onto my new phone. I just searched for them all manually on my new phone so I wouldn’t lose my list of fun words. YOLO, I guess? The feature is clearly important to me. Anyway, I highly recommend this app.
This is the one
I use a dictionary and thesaurus almost every day. I was searching for an app that did not collect data. It turns out WordWeb respects my privacy. And as a cherry on top, the app turned out to be fantastic. I have no complaints. This is easily my favorite dictionary app in the store. Its really well thought out in design and function. Hope it continues to improve.
