About Dictionary.com

Dictionary.com is a comprehensive dictionary app without the major name attached.

This is a great option for advanced academic use as well as everyday language. Dictionary.com is available online and also available for free to download on iOS and Android.

Dictionary.com Review

The Dictionary.com app for Android and iOS is perhaps the most exhaustive dictionary app, at least for English. In addition to letting you browse offline, it comes with a wide variety of supplementary features like “Word of the Day”, quizzes, medical, science, rhyming, slang dictionaries, and more. There are audio pronunciations as well, and it houses over 2,000,000 definitions and synonyms.

On the first boot, it will prompt you to download all the necessary offline files, so you can take advantage of it without connecting to the internet. You can have access to definitions in English and reference words you researched in the past, by accessing the archive. The app even tells you the backstory of a particular word. Pronunciation, though, are available only online. It’s free, and you can download it from the links down below for Android and iPhone.

There is also a word of the day feature that can keep you up to date with adding new words to your vocabulary on a regular basis. You can also save favorite words for easy reference later and translate words from other languages. One of the best things about Dictionary.com is the ability to buy additional specialized dictionaries if you'd like such as dictionaries that focus on grammar, writing, science, medical, and more.
