Description
Terminology is a browser for the English language – part dictionary, part thesaurus and part research tool. Terminology makes it easy to explore words and phrases, diving down to more and less specific terms - accessing the web and other apps for more detail and sharing.
More than a dictionary, Terminology can be extended with custom actions to search the Internet and other reference apps – making it a great place to start all your searches.
Use the share extension to select text anywhere, in any app, and look it up in Terminology.

Ratings and Reviews
Great reference app
I stumbled on this while searching for a better dictionary app. Very well crafted. I like the integration with "look up", specific/general and wiki links.
I would like to see the ability to edit your last searched word. If the word isn't found, perhaps it could default to the builtin look up iOS feature?
It would also be great if the app integrated better with Bluetooth keyboards / smart keyboards. I would like to search and select my term by using the keyboard only.
Other Nice to haves
Search bar: ability to press enter to select the top result
Definitions: ability to swipe right from the left edge to navigate the results backwards and likewise for forward direction
Thanks
Developer Response ,
Glad you enjoy the app! Be sure to explore adding additional reference links from the Action Library. Actions can be edited from the pen icon at the end of the action list at the top.
Indispensable
Terminology is one of the apps that i use almost daily when I'm writing or mind-mapping.
It lets me
• work offline as well
• add my own notes for each term. This lets me to also add my own special-terms (ie: Documenting components of a product, application or procedure)
• jump directly to a specific term in Terminology from my other apps that are URL aware
• jump to any website or to my other URL aware apps by passing the term.
...
My one request would be to detect URLs in my own custom notes. This would also have the added benefit of allowing me to use Terminology as my Shortcut Center ..
Wonderful dictionary
I really like this terminology dictionary which is accurate and convenient.
