One Thing Missing

Perfect dictionary app, except that I would like to see the origins of words, like on the iPhone app - specifically, I enjoy reading the origins of every Word of the Day :)

Love it!

I use this app ALL the time. I think it's great because it's well presented, you have all the options of whether you want to know what a word means, other similar words, or what words rhyme with it... there are also clear examples of how the word is used, and also if there are similar sounding words that are actually different in context (like boy and bouy. One is a male child the other is a static floating sea anchor that boat moor themselves to).

Have tried a couple of other apps before I paid for this one without the adds, and have to say, in comparison they were all rubbish. So yes, I'd definitely recommend this one.

Excellent

The developers have done the honourable thing by updating the app to support the upcoming iOS update.
I feared it was going to result in the app to be allowed to pass and then relaunched resulting in a repurchase for it and the additional reference materials available.
Thankfully my cynicism was misplaced and an app that I use daily has been reprieved - along with my previously installed purchases - thank you and keep up the good work.
