Dictionary.com Pro English app review: trusted reference content 2021

Introduction

Out with the gargantuan, heavy dictionaries, and in with Dictionary.com Dictionary & Thesaurus Premium. Bringing you all the contents from the database of the Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com websites, this iPhone dictionary app will help you find the right word in any situation with just a few taps rather than an arm workout.

We have all experienced the excitement of looking up an unfamiliar word in a big dictionary as children, but the novelty wears off, especially for those of us who like to read often and are therefore more likely to come across unfamiliar words. Having a handy and trusted dictionary app such as this one can facilitate the expansion of its users' vocabulary.

This app costs $2.99, and since there are dictionary apps available in the App Store for free, I wondered what was so special about this one that the developers decided to charge for it. 

Keep reading our Dictionary.com Pro English app review to see what I found out about this good dictionary app for iPhone and iPad.

Find The Right Word

Dictionary.com Dictionary & Thesaurus Premium cumulatively contains more than two million definitions, synonyms, and antonyms. This is a number higher than most dictionary apps in the App Store.

The database can be expanded via in-app purchases to include premium guides one covering over 35,000 medical words and definitions, or the other with 23,000 science definitions and illustrations.

Each searched word or phrase comes with an audio pronunciation, word origin & history, and more. Popular and trendy local searches can also be viewed on an interactive map.

With only 13.5 megabytes of space required for installation, I wondered if the entire word database can be searched offline, and I found out that this app is mostly self-contained, meaning that the content is mostly on your phone and can be accessed without an Internet connection.

Daily Content & Other Functions

Word of the Day, Slideshows, the Blog, and more are updated to bring you new content everyday, but these features cannot be accessed offline, which is fine because these are add-on features; the core function of this app, which is to bring definitions, synonyms, and antonyms to its users, is still available as and when necessary.

Aside from modern and up-to-date definitions and content, this app also provides adjustable font sizes, a Favorites folder for words, a large search history database, and spelling suggestions when you are scrambling to tap in the correct spelling.
