Audio Cambridge Dictionary of American English
Cambridge Dictionary is similar to many other dictionary apps in the App Store. It has standard definitions, a thesaurus, spoken pronunciations, use cases for words and usage notes. Cambridge Dictionary also supports offline mode and other small features such as bookmarking definitions. While not bringing enough to the table to justify its high price, this dictionary does work well and is pretty stable as well. Overall, a decent option for those who are looking for a Dictionary app on their iDevice.
