Ratings and Reviews
Scarlet Pimpernel
Periodically I read and of course some of the things I read aren’t always fully understood by myself. Today I am reminiscent of a past I had known for love of life itself and to help stand up even if not asked. At times we must do things that lead us down paths that might be better suited for a Knight of more distinguished honor and than oneself. Being truly humbled by such a vast amount of the English languages which has included many slang terminologies. Having forgotten many things I find myself coming back to attempt to concrete things in my mind and yet life has been nothing less than an amazing journey from reading hardback books flipping endlessly through pages to this day of technology in which I write this review on my cellular phone. I am a simple man but humbled by having found a great dictionary that has rekindled my intrigue concerning reading and keeping things such as this dictionary in a safe place so as to always have if nothing else, a memory of a dream and then being reminded that we must always strive for better things and through that, Growth Through Knowledge and understanding.
A 5-star app that STILL isn’t.
I’m still waiting for that simple bookmark sorting feature. 11 yrs and counting!
To the reviews that say there’s no thesaurus…follow the word links. Every word on any page is a live link to another page with more similar words. Isn’t that what a thesaurus is? Links to words that are similar?
It’s not a 3-star app either. I’ve used this app for years(iPad 2, 2012 I think?) but even after all this time, the bookmarked word list STILL has no sorting function, not even alphabetically. If you’ve bookmarked hundreds of words as I have, it’s a slog to do it manually. Grab a W word from most recent bookmarked words and drag it past all the other words to its rightful place at the bottom of the list. Now do that with each unsorted new word. The 2nd issue is not being able to backup said bookmark list as separate readable list file to store and print out for study purposes. All other mentioned attributes in other reviews are true. There are even adapted foreign word phrases like sotto voce and noblesse oblige, a good amount of slang, and outdated but fun words like snollygoster and flapdoodler that do have a purpose when no other word would do the job. And for the consummate wordsmith, the thesaurus feature can keep you entertained for hours. For me, it’s a 5-star app that isn’t. Add the aforementioned vital features and it’s worth a whole sky full of stars!
A truly great dictionary.
I have had this dictionary since 2016. I am impressed with its coverage of all words. If you have misspelled a word, it gives you several options of the word you might be looking for. It also will give you the derivation of the word: did it come from old French or another language. It will also give you some words which are places or the name of paintings or statues. It also allows you to look at all the words following the one you looked up. I think it is a great dictionary & would highly recommend it. It is also available at a very good price I believe. Take a look! There is an updated 2019 version, but I like what I have very much and hope you will too.
