Entirely revised and updated to include the most comprehensive and accurate picture of the English language today, the Advanced English Dictionary and Thesaurus represents the authority of dictionary apps.
The intelligent search features, leading to a rich word list with special language notes, cross-curriculum words and the prompt navigation - all contribute to your unique user experience. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms, interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. In addition to the straightforward definitions the dictionary shows how each word is linked to other words in terms of synonyms, opposites and similar words, but also hyponyms and hyperlinks within the group.
The WordNet concept had become the staple of quality language apps:
* Straightforward and precise definitions of over 140,000 with more than 250,000 links and 1.4 million words
* Synonyms, antonyms, similar and related words to help improve your writing and speech
* Hypernyms (more generic words), hyponyms (subordinate words) and meronyms (part names)
* Examples illustrate how words are used and show typical constructions and collocations
* Offline audio support (internet connection is NOT required)
This app is tailored to professionals, students, and academics, as well as anyone who needs a comprehensive and authoritative dictionary of current English at work or at home.

Thanks to the new update (version 4.0.5) downloaded today, this wonderful free dictionary is back to life again. Cheers! -------- This update version 4.0.3 crash! (Sep 04, 2011) Ive been happily using the previous version 3.x of this app on my iPhone4 iOS 4.3.5 until yesterday when I saw there was an update. After I finished downloading the update only to find out that it couldnt run on my iPhone anymore. To my further disapointment, I tried to roll back by deleting the updated installation and reinstalled the older version from my backup archive but I couldnt run the earlier version either. What happen? It wouldnt help even I tried to shutdown and then rebooted my device up again. Mobile Systems Inc. please help!!!
Very very very helpful and great!!! I love it sooooooooo much. It helped me with ALOT of things ❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️

Some bad moments

Worked great before. Great definitions & thesaurus. Unfortunately since the last update it no longer starts up on the iPhone and no matter how great an app is if one can not use it, its a failure.
It seems that it does not have words used by contemporary writers. Quite handicapped on this. Not recommended for serious adv learners of English, but quite adequate for grade schoolers.
The first word (philtrum) I put in and no definition. I have since noticed many, many common words are missing. Good as a Basic app but not much use as a reference.
Take the ads off ...I paid for This app ...and dont want to be interrupted by your goddam ads !
The latest update just wont download. Great app but needs to be fixed
it was so useful before uploading , but now it doesnt work at all
