An App I use constantly...
...but then I am a cruciverbal tragic. But seriously. This is a fine implementation of the principal dictionary used by crossword compilers. Some would consider it cheating, but needs must. I was also very impressed with the speed with which the developer produced an update when a small iOS8 glitch appeared. If you love words, or do crosswords, or play Scrabble - this is the App for you.
Not bad
Doesn't always show plural words. I use this to play scrabble and I need to be able to check what the plural form of some not so common words are.
Very useful
This dictionary compares very well both in price and content. Does not have the many of the modern english words (e.g. tweet [as in twitter] or muggle [as in Harry Potter]) and fails to identify Oberon as a moon of Uranus. One short fall is the complete lack of output - you cannot copy paste or send anywhere.
Great
Having had the paper version for over 30 years am thrilled with this app. Like the cross reference function. The only complaint is the colour of the icon is almost identical to their thesaurus app. Would be handy if they were different colours, or at least very different reds.
