Junk
v 4.0
Ok, it works offline now, so I gave this one another chance.
Ive had it on my phone a couple weeks now, and can honestly say its garbage. Its consistantly stumped by even common words like: commotion and honour. It couldnt even come up with a bare bones definition, never mind the synonyms I was after. What use is a dictionary that doesnt contain a full list of words?
It also fell flat on its face when I tried to use it to look up the spelling of words (yes, I still do that). Unless you get the spelling exactly right, its not going to help you. At least in a real dictionary, youd get yourself close to the right page, see whats around, and eventually work your way to the right spelling of the word (maybe even learn a few new ones in the process). Well, thats impossible with this app. It defines the word you typed in and gives you nothing else; no ref to similarly spelled words, no hint at the correct spelling, nothing. So again... useless.
I could go on, but either one of these reasons kills it for me. This app features them both in one poorly designed, incomplete package! Save your cash, and buy one of the other ones that pops up when you search "dictionary" in the app store.
v 3.3
Its a good dictionary. Interface is good, definitions are good, yada yada yada.... But it doesnt work offline. That kinda kills it for me, because I do a lot of reading in places where I dont have wi-fi (planes, trains and automobiles etc).
If you could make this work offline, Id gladly replace my current dictionary with this one. Until that update rolls around though, this is effectively useless to me.
Shame, because its a pretty good app otherwise.
