Good, Simple, Uncomplicated
All the other dictionary apps I tried were loaded with random annoying stuff like quizzes and bad graphic design. This is a nice dictionary for those who already speak pretty good English and want to look up words now and then.
Thanks for the nice, clean app!!
Excellent
Best cross-reference that I know of. You have a word and want to know alternatives, the opposite, stronger or weaker, similiar but different words? Download this.
Newest update makes Wordweb better looking and faster, just maybe swap "Search" and "X-Ref" for improved usability.
