J’ai acheté ce dictionnaire pour accéder à la totalité des mots acceptés dans le jeu Blossom. Or seule la version accessible par internet les contient. Malheureusement cette dernière est d’utilisation moins aisée car on n’a pas un accès immédiat à la liste des mots commençant par 2 ou 3 lettres données.
Excellent dictionnaire
Très clair avec thesaurus associé
Des dessins parfois qui illustrent la définition
Complète
Really complete dictionary with easy to understand definitions and moreover prononciation ! I love it and use it on a dayly basis.
Great dictionary app I have ever used
It deserves five stars app
Closed app

Very good dictionary and App
This is the dictionary I prefer and use first. The interface of the App provides users with all needed features and is very agreeable to use.
New version lose a feature
Today I updated the application. The interface is a little more beautiful, but it seems to me that a very useful feature disappears. In my old version many words has a blue background explanation at the top of the entry, which I found very clear and easy to understand, but in the new version it disappears. So I think the new version is worse than the old one.

Paper version Merrill-Webster is best English language dictionary ever, and same goes for the app, and even more so this latest version.
Très utile
Format accessible avec des synonymes à la fin de la définition et l'étymologie. Jeux linguistiques intéressants.
Great app. Been using it for years. Recently I had it upgraded to premium version.
The feature that I love most is the "favorite" function which enables to save all the vocabulary that I love and need to get back on.
For someone whose English is not their first language and who is a geek for vocabulary. I assure you that you'll get frustrated with the word challenge game. But still it is sooo much fun.
One little malfunction in my case, the pronunciation button next to the word does not work in my phone. Please help fix it for me.
All in all, it is a fantastic app.
