8 of 25Love it Great
Accurate and comprehensive. Lacks etiologies, a feature that I consider essential. Cannot find Latin or Greek roots of terms.
Dorlands is the best dictionary in my opinion. I’ve used Mosby’s, Stedman’s, and still like Dorland’s best. Did medical transcription for 20+ years and had dozens of reference books.
Good, certainly adequate. I can’t even fathom all that it has to offer.
Great!
Much needed!
Great app!
Dorlands has always been the industry leader much like Webster’s is. In fact those two references are my go-to’s.
