Chambers Dictionary

Great app! but why cant i paste???

It’s pretty confusing that such an elegant masterpiece has not been well-known in decades. As an ESL learner, it took me a while to find a concisely defined dictionary using relatively simple vocabulary. The vast majority of famous contemporary dictionaries tend to become wordy in terms of definitions. But the Chambers has rid me of that kind of annoyance. Three years ago, I purchased the same app on the google play store. And now I'm more than happy to invest in it again.

Clear, concise, and occasionally hilarious, the Chambers is the best English dictionary in existence. I’ve bought it in several forms over the years and this app does it justice.

This Chambers app is an amazing app, like all of Word Webs. Here are my recommendations to the developer for mobile: (1) Just as with your desktop software, let you switch in tabs between all the dictionaries and thesauruses you purchase. That is a critical feature in your desktop applications and increases their value and makes it sensible to buy ALL your dictionaries. This would be a moneymaker for WordWeb and great for users. (2) Why not sell your other desktop dictionaries on mobile? No work and more revenue, and your users would benefit. Here is my recommendation regarding Desktop: (1) Please make the spacing and placement of lines of text consistent as one switches between the tabs of WordWeb books. (2) Please use MacOS built-in support for graphics card acceleration for more natural resizing on the wide variety of displays. It looks really bad as you resize and for a business to purchase this app for this users, that raises questions of longevity.

Very useful and I definitely recommend it to everyone

Chambers has become my go-to dictionary for everyday use, both online and in print. It seems to have more entries than American Heritage, Merriam-Webster's Collegiate, or the Oxford American Dictionary, and its definitions are often simpler and almost always at least as precise. The app is easy to use, completely functional even with relatively old versions of iOS, and uncluttered by annoying pop-up ads and banners—and it's free. What's not to like? Highly recommended.

I have a large number of dictionary but this one is really unique and awesome I am not regret to buy it it deserves more the explaning of each word is really excellent,no one will be regret to but it

For $4.99, there should be a thesaurus, audio pronunciations, voice search, and example sentences.

I've had this app for a couple of years now: it is excellent. It never comes up short when I'm looking for a word, it is beautifully designed and presented, and the pronunciation guides are top notch. I deleted OED's expensive effort after a week.

This is an adequate dictionary, no doubt, but care should be used with its spelling preferences. In particular, in many cases it presents the usage of a _minority_ of those for whom English is their first language as the principle spelling, which could mislead the reader.
