Solid dictionary delivers what it promises

Dictionary.com’s new, free app for the iPhone and iPod touch offers a solid online dictionary. Dictionary.com boasts more than a quarter-million word definitions, and 80,000 synonyms to boot. The biggest hurdle that Dictionary.com must overcome, though, is Mobile Safari. While the app does everything it should, it doesn’t necessarily outperform a simple Google search via the iPhone’s browser for the word whose definition you seek.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Awesome Reference Utility

A wealth of useful information and very intuitive to use. Even remembers input when switching from Dictionary to Thesaurus mode. I hope they will be adding the new translation feature they have on the website now.


Great Free Product

This is a great app that is easy to use. Since it is free it is even better.
