Not impressed

More often than not, it fails. How is ‘snide’ not found.?

Indispensable

A great app for the literate.

Disappointing

For every entry there is a huge list if synonyms relating to almost every possible meaning of the word. You have to wade through this huge list to find what you're looking for. It's completely useless and breaks the flow of writing. My paperback version is so much better. Why is this different? What a waste of money.

An essential tool for writers

I have the print version of Roget's Thesaurus, and it takes up a fair amount of real estate on my desk. Looking up a word takes time and I find myself singing the "a-b-c" song in my head while scrolling through the alphabetized list. Finally, Roget's has come out with a digital version of their thesaurus. Compared to other thesaurus apps, the Roget's Thesaurus is more comprehensive and thorough in terms of definitions and synonyms. Whereas the other apps would simply give you a handful of synonyms, Roget's gives you a plethora of choices from either the original word or a variation thereof, as well as provide you the ability to research the definition of each synonym. On the downside, it utilizes american spelling, and a tutorial on how to navigate would be helpful.
