Very good dictionary but some words or expressions are missing ...

The Collins English dictionary is a very good application, however, it is far from being comprehensive; a lot of words or expressions are missing from it which limits its usefulness particularly when using it to understand or read some classical literature. Having said that, I use it a lot and it is very practical when reading a difficult book. Overall, it is still quite expensive for what it does ...

Great dictionary!!!

Does what it says on the tin. Really good dictionary. My only wish is that, like other lexicons out there, you could touch any word within a definition and it would automatically take you to that. Otherwise it is more than I expected.

Pi...d off ,

Great

Just what I needed a dictionary that is in English not some strange variation that removes “U”s from words and puts “Z”s in all over the place.
The word of the day could be very much better if they were obscure interesting enlightening words, rather than just random very simple ones in everyday use.
