Har haft denne app i flere år. Bruger den jævnligt til ofte. Løber tit på engelske ord som jeg gerne vil have forklaret den præcise betydning af. Det får jeg her. På en simpel og effektiv måde. Et must på mobilen.

Easy to use

Don't nag the user for a rating!

Super!

After using this for months I must admit that this app is quite useful. You dont need to be online to search. Covers a wide amount of words compared to the price :) To be able to rate it 5 stars the design needs a tiny shiny lift :)

Jeg bruger denne hele tiden, da jeg dagligt læser skønlitteratur på engelsk. Har aldrig været ude for at den ikke fandt det jeg skulle bruge, og det går altid nemt og hurtigt med flere forskellige betydninger af selv gammeldags ord. Man kan også hurtigt se hvordan ordet skal udtales - noget jeg ellers aldrig fik gjort i papir-ordbøgerne! Nok de bedste 6 kr jeg har givet ud. Kan anbefales!

Been using it since I came out 12 some years ago. Not sure what more you can ask for out of an app. It’s a dictionary. It has every word I look up.

This has to be THE WORST dictionary ever! A dictionary should define a word- Period! It does not need to list EVERY possible use of that word as a separate entry!! And should not list every phrase the word is used in as separate entries!! Type in “A”, “And”, “At”, etc- and there are literally HUNDREDS of entries for the word! A few examples can be easily listed in the definition, NOT as separate entries!! A dictionary SHOULD be scrollable- one should be able to type in a few letters and see the words beyond that in the entries, without having to change one letter to continue thru the list! For example: if I type “rad”… I should not have to change the “d” to an “e” to continue scrolling! Obscene slang words are generally not included in dictionaries, they are put in urban or slang dictionaries, and not listed hundreds of times in a row listing every slang phrase ever known! Misspelled words should not be listed as entries- the search feature would take a person to the proper spelling! Don’t bother with this dictionary, it is not worth the aggravation!!

I’m still waiting for that simple bookmark sorting feature. 11 yrs and counting! To the reviews that say there’s no thesaurus…follow the word links. Every word on any page is a live link to another page with more similar words. Isn’t that what a thesaurus is? Links to words that are similar? It’s not a 3-star app either. I’ve used this app for years(iPad 2, 2012 I think?) but even after all this time, the bookmarked word list STILL has no sorting function, not even alphabetically. If you’ve bookmarked hundreds of words as I have, it’s a slog to do it manually. Grab a W word from most recent bookmarked words and drag it past all the other words to its rightful place at the bottom of the list. Now do that with each unsorted new word. The 2nd issue is not being able to backup said bookmark list as separate readable list file to store and print out for study purposes. All other mentioned attributes in other reviews are true. There are even adapted foreign word phrases like sotto voce and noblesse oblige, a good amount of slang, and outdated but fun words like snollygoster and flapdoodler that do have a purpose when no other word would do the job. And for the consummate wordsmith, the thesaurus feature can keep you entertained for hours. For me, it’s a 5-star app that isn’t. Add the aforementioned vital features and it’s worth a whole sky full of stars!

Indicated as a great thesaurus but only offers a handful of synonyms and only ny reading through the definitions of a word
