Ratings and Reviews
Fantastic Dictionary
An excellent dictionary. Have used the hard-copy Collins English Dictionary since 1991 and had no hesitation in purchasing the combined dictionary and thesaurus. The dictionary on its own is a bargain at the price charged, however paying a few extra dollars for the dictionary with thesaurus is, for my needs, worth it. I consider the Collins to be superior in many ways to the Oxford, and when working as a librarian I recommended to many of my clients that they purchase the Collins in preference to the Oxford - hard copy at the time. The app works well - no issues in 3 years since purchase.
Made default dic. Replaced WordWeb
Spent time comparing how quickly each dictionary causes me to grasp context of unknown words. Collins surely is top 3. Mostly because of its thesaurus entries which also have sentence examples. Merriem-Webster is also equally clear. So alternating between these two.
Great app!
It’s a smooth operating application that’s fast.
The definitions are comprehensive and a majority of them are pretty easy to understand.
You don’t need a large vocabulary to understand it.
Definitely well worth what you pay for it.
I like the settings as well because it lets you adjust together way it looks, and you can even set it to a night type style which is awesome.
I definitely recommend it.
