Hand tool

I've had this app for a few years now. I use it nearly everyday at work and at home. A great app.

WordBook

Enormously enjoyable, and very helpful when it comes to puzzles, anagrams etc. Only problem seems to be too few words, by which I mean that words appearing in other dictionaries do not appear here. One hopes more will be added as time flows on.

Anyway, a lovely addition to my iPad's collection of word books.
