WordBook XL - English Dictionary & Thesaurus for iPad

Just be a dictionary!!<br/>When I search for a word it always comes in third position in the list even when I intentionally write the whole word, why?<br/>I don’t want to systematically see whatever previous search!! Why can’t I change that behavior?!<br/>Etc.

Very handy dictionary &amp; really appreciate the Thesaurus feature. It’s helped my writing efforts &amp; expanded my vocabulary of words.

Was my best dictionary and spelling checker.<br/>Now it occasionally freezes up, and the volume control is glitchy. Also needs word update.

As far as minimalist dictionaries go, this is by far the best. I especially like the customized URLs option, so you can add a dictionary website of your choosing.

The etymologies included beneath the definitions are historical and way more detailed than any other dictionary I’ve used.

Find a different app even if it costs more. I wanted to be able to get definitions offline, however the definitions in this app tend to be inaccurate with the wrong connotation which results in me having to search the web to get a correct definition.

I have tried 5 or 6 dictionaries and WordBook consistently has applicable definitions. Recently, I tried a new Oxford English Dictionary to add a few British words and definitions but even they couldn’t compare. It seems like WordBook is constantly learning and adding new words. Rarely, will they be lacking a word, like a historical term, from the Victorian era. Or a current word like one used for texting or colloquially. But that is rarely, the norm is you type in a word and there’s a definition. There is a word of the day, bookmark and history and customizing in the settings. If you’re looking for a dictionary that has many more words and definitions than the rest, with a very wide variety to choose from, WordBook’s the one. It’s the best dictionary.
