Build your vocabulary with the Dictionary mobile app

There are times when one finds the byzantine and seemingly tenebrous musings of the office wordsmith or a philologer friend tiresome and boring. Install the Dictionary.com mobile app and dispel the dark clouds of confusion and misunderstanding that comes as a result of their verbiage. Show how you can be as keen and verbally adept as them with this handy, useful and easy-to-use reference installed on your iOS device or Android smartphone.

Dictionary.com app’s user interface is clean and smooth, making it uncomplicated and quick to navigate. Users will definitely never get lost when using this app. Swipe gestures and voice search is supported further lending to a better user experience.

Aside from having the basic function of displaying a word’s definition, type, etymology, and pronunciation, the Dictionary.com app has notable features that make it interesting and usable on a daily basis. Tapping on the icon labeled “Daily” from the app’s main screen displays what the app features for the day. This includes the Word of the Day, the Hot Word (a blog showcasing trivia and other lexical information), the Question of the Day which attempts to resolve word usages and the like, and the Spanish Word of the Day with a definition and examples.

What is great is the integration of the Thesaurus, virtually making this a two in one app kind of deal. The Thesaurus is very straightforward. After searching for a word, it gives out the main entry, its definition and part of speech, its synonyms and antonyms. Tapping on a word from the resulting list of synonyms or antonyms will instantly take users to the respective entry as well. This is a good and fast way to find out if the desired word is the right word you want to use. Furthermore, switching from the Thesaurus to the Dictionary (or vice versa) is simple and can be done immediately.

Access to recent searches in both the Dictionary and Thesaurus is supported, as well as Trending, Popular and Nearby searches. Favorites can be bookmarked and shared on Facebook, Twitter or be sent via email or SMS.

The Dictionary.com mobile app is free and available for download at the Android Market and Apple’s App Store.
