Dicionário +4

I downloaded the free version first, however I quickly saw that the quality of the info and the amount give was well worth the upgrade to get rid of the ads. I also realized that I have been using one other mobile dictionary for so many years that it would be great to see what another has to offer. The reviews were so consistently great that I had to download. I prefer ad free so I immediately sprung for the $2. It is well worth $2!!! It is more than worth $2 if you love words. I ended up here because I was looking for a proverb and ended up on the idiom page of the website and saw that I could download an app. My future use remains to be seen, however look forward to using this app and being motivated to grow my word strength again...

1st update...the idiom section includes a short video that gives examples of the idiom! It was simple, clear, quick, and very teachable. I love this app already!

I write a lot and so I need a dictionary on hand. Well this one comes with minimal to no advertisements cluttering the interface. It’s straightforward and easy to use. They also have a few unnecessary but fun features like a word of the day (which can be added as a widget on the iPhone) and some word related games like hangman or matching games. If you went on the app even when you don’t have a word you need to look up you could spend a little time playing a mini game or learning something every day because of their fact of their idiom, article, and quote of the day. The “This day in history” section is always something I never new or thought about before so that’s a neat feature.

TLDR: It works like you want it to plus extra features. Would recommend.

However, occasionally I will have to resort to another dictionary to find the word I need.

What I like about this site:
Definitions from several sources are given: a helpful feature.
Often word origins are included.
Common foreign words/phrases are included.
There are usage notes, usually when I need them!
There is a thesaurus.
Some proper nouns are included.
There is an offline alternative and it is free.
There are two text methods of pronunciation.
There is an audio pronunciation feature and it is free.

Having said that, the first two audio voices - American and British - accessed by the flag icons - frequently and laughably butcher pronunciations. Witness “ampoules,” which the Brit voice pronounces with an extra “l” as “amplool.” There are many more, and more extreme examples, but I’ve forgotten all of them (fortunately or, with my suggestible nature, I might be walking around sounding like an illiterate fool)!
The male American voice, accessed by the speaker icon, is the most accurate. Obviously some thought and expertise were involved in his software.
But I use the American and Brit pronunciations only if I want a good laugh, or, if I want to see how thoroughly a word might be mispronounced. Maybe you’d like to think about offing the Brit and the flag Yank!

Nevertheless, Thank You for publishing this dictionary because, despite its flaws, it is my go-to dictionary, and I use it frequently.
