2.0 out of 5 stars great app/questionable ads December 11, 2011

By B. Owen

great app and love the ability to find quick definitions and the thesaurus is great. The ads are very inappropriate. Accidentally tapped an add and was blasted with images of topless women. come on dictionary.com, screen your ads and keep them family appropriate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential March 23, 2011

By G. Argov

This is one of the most useful apps on my phone. While it needs a data connection to retrieve the definitions, it is faster in my opinion than searching for the same thing through your phone's browser. Additionally, the app can provide audible pronunciations and a thesaurus (without requiring a separate program). This is essential to any student, but is also convenient for anyone who wants or needs access to a dictionary on the go! Runs smoothly on my Droid 2 Global w/ Froyo (Android 2.2).

5.0 out of 5 stars Decent! March 24, 2011

By Student2

This is a great thing to have on hand. I'm a college student at the moment and I love looking up words, (plus handy when writing papers etc). The only drag - you have to be connected to the internet for the "word of the day". Other than that - I'm very happy with this!
