Ratings and Reviews
Excellent, faithful dictionary!!
Mirriam-Webster’s is the “ol’ faithful” dictionary in my view! I have always referred to it online but only recently starting using the app. It has a great database of words - I’ve never failed to find anything I’m looking for so far & it has comprehensive, easy to understand definitions. And I’m just using the free version! It’s so good that I deleted a previous dictionary app I had since it simply didn’t compare in quality. Thanks for providing such a great resource 🙂
Handy and easy to use
Very happy with my purchase. $10 annually which I'm happy to pay for an up to date dictionary. Helps when I do my crosswords and it's generally a helpful tool to have.
A great tool for language learning
The app helps not only me, but also my students that need a monolingual dictionary and cannot afford a paid version. The only thing that could be improved is the use of words in sentences. That would certainly help students to deduce meaning from context.
