English Dictionary Lite app review: quickly find definitions and more

Introduction

There's no harm in admitting to yourself that not only do you not know how to spell every word out there, but neither do you know the definition of all of them. However, there's no need to let it everyone else in on the secret! The app can be used on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone to provide you with quick definitions, spelling, and translations. What's great is that you won't need an Internet connection to use it so you are never restricted by your location.

The best iPad apps for translations

Look Brilliant

This app makes you look brilliant: it's as simple as that. It boasts a very quick launch so you can find the correct spelling of words, definitions, and even translations. The app is able to translate from English to Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, and French, some of the most commonly used languages in the world. It features predictive word search which means that as you type in the word it will start working immediately looking for the word you are typing in. This is done in real-time of course so you likely won't even have to key in the full word. There are hundreds of thousands of definitions through the app, so you likely will find everything you're looking for.

This app only has a three star rating and hasn't been updated since its release over four years ago. Users aren't what they were four years ago: today they want more features, more tools, and just more polish, all of which this app lacks.

 

Find Words Quickly

One of the features in this app that developers like to advertise the most is that it is very quick and simple to use. I have to agree in this regard. The moment you launch the app you are taken right to the search screen. It automatically finds your region as well. The predictive text entry is really helpful and literally within just a couple of letters suggestions pop up. The definitions are complete and it feels like you’re getting all the details you need.

Where this app falls short is in the extra features. It would be great if you could share translations with friends and family, if you could see the word used in a sentence, and more. When you are using the translation mode it’s great to get these instant translations in multiple languages however there is no pronunciation given so you’re pretty much on your own in that regard.
