iDictNews app review: news & RSS reader

Introduction

If you're the kind of person who often enjoys reading RSS feeds or news on your iPhone or iPad, and often find yourself wondering what certain terms and phrases mean, then iDictNews (Lite Version) is one app that you should consider downloading to enhance your reading experience and comprehension.

You can find this app in the News section of the App Store, where it can be downloaded completely free of charge. Its basic function is to provide you with word search capabilities so that you can quickly and easily look up any words that you might not be familiar with. It serves to fulfill this function beautifully!

RSS Reader & Browser

This app has both a browser and RSS reader that you can use to catch up on your news. Load up your favorite feeds and start reading! The RSS reader utilizes the Google Reader client to bring you your news and it works faster than many other apps I've had the honor to review.

Users also don't require an Internet connection to look any of the words up, so if you have saved up some of your news articles then you can read them and look up words immediately. This also explains why the app is a whopping 136 MB, but don't worry, its hefty size, surprisingly, does not affect its speed.

Multiple Dictionary Support

When you're reading a news article and wish to look up a word, all you have to do is highlight it. There are multiple dictionaries available including WordNet, Webster's, and EDICT so you can check up varying definitions to get a thorough understanding of what you're reading.

Easily add any word to your bookmarks and come back to them when you want to memorize new vocabulary. Bookmarks, rather than being sorted chronologically, are arranged in alphabetical order.

The search engine for words in this app is really powerful in that it allows for word searches whether they're the exact match, partial match, or even the first or last few letters of the word. It will present you with the search results in real-time so you'll always be able to zero in on the word you're looking for.

Final Words

I think iDictNews is one of those iPhone and iPad apps that is sure to expand your vocabulary, particularly if you tend to use RSS readers often to catch up with the latest news feed of your choice. Highly recommended!
