WordBook leads the parade of free and low-cost dictionary options

A really good dictionary is an indispensable part of any library, home or office. I have three unabridged dictionaries in my office, along with two thesauruses and maybe a half-dozen dictionaries devoted to specialized subjects. Stacked on my living room floor, my reference books come to my chin and easily weigh 100 pounds.

Simple to use

The ultimate pocket dictionary! Manly because if you are like me, you're never without your iPhone, so you're never without a Dictionary! No extra pocket needed. I use this dictionary daily at work for reports and it's never failed to have "the word" I needed.A feature I love, if there are words you use often you can bookmark them and keep a list. Very handy for reports.It comes with Five Words of the day, you can play
