Well, it's free so that's good. Also, the pronunciations are pretty accurate and easy to read.
"The British English dictionary and thesaurus" <-- this is rather misleading.
It is implying that the pronunciations are also British, however when you search up words that differ in pronunciation, such as 'tomato' the pronunciation for it is 'tu'mey-tow'.
It would be better to have all pronunciations, so that it is much more convenient for users.
Great
Handy and Free
Good apps
