Chambers Thesaurus

Die App. tut das was sie tun soll und bringt mir sehr viel in der Schule. Leider ist der Preis etwas hoch aber meiner Meinung nach auch gerechtfertigt, da es bis jetzt jedes gesuchte Wort auch angezeigt hat und dazu auch immer mindestens 5 Synonyme angezeigt hat. Fazit: Kaufempfehlung nicht zuletzt auch, da es kein ähnliches App. im Store für mich zu finden gab.

I generally like the app’s functionality with some niggles. However the biggest issue is the absence of some relatively common words eg acuity. Also the linking seems faulty eg if a search for ‘recant’ gives a list including ‘disavow’ then shouldn’t it also be vice versa? Real shame.

I have been using this Thesaurus App for many years with mixed success, more and more recently a word that I enter is not recognised. I check the spelling so I know that is not the issue. I enter the same word into its sister dictionary and it comes up . It is not as though the words are obscure, the latest was crustacean, not an obscure one I would have thought. I don’t know what the developers can do other than increase the stored words. But I suspect that is easier said than done. I will just keep my fingers crossed. Apart from that an excellent App.

After the latest update it now crashes when opening. It was a great app, but the update has rendered it useless.

This app now refuses to open and immediately crashes with the latest iPad OS update. I’ve tried to get help via the developer website but there is no troubleshooting or help section at all. App now useless. Such a pity because it used to be great.

As a prolific writer of lengthy “letters to the editor”, I am often dipping into both Chambers Dictionary & Thesaurus to add more literary variety - “colour” - to my pieces. Occasionally I will refer to the Oxford equivalents, but Chambers has been my favourite word reference source for many years now. I also like the access both the apps give (I bought the apps separately a few years ago) to the handy free WordWeb app - which also offers an international audio pronunciation facility. However, when looking up a word in the thesaurus, it would be nice to see the identifying heading “Thesaurus” (or its abbreviation) at the top of each page - likewise with the pages of the dictionary. When flipping back and forth, via either app, it is not always immediately obvious as to whether one is reading from the thesaurus or the dictionary - especially when researching at speed. Identifying headings would also look good.

This is not only a good app but the Support is also good

Never again. This and the related dictionary are perfect. Gone are the large heavy tomes that need £35+ updates every year or so. No longer the scrabble player's bible, but who cares, they are great.

Awful upgrade

Why is this now in American English? Also, no option to change it...
