American Heritage Thesaurus for Android

I've used this dictionary for many decades through multiple editions and am delighted with the electronic version, which makes access even easier. Its special strengths, beyond very well thought out definitions, are excellent attention to etymology and explicit discussions of usage panel recommendations and sometimes disagreements. I was disappointed a year ago that my purchase did not carry over to a new Mobile and I had to buy it again, and a third purchase came with a new Android. The management company could solve this only if I could come up with my original receipts and it wasn't worth searching for them. That's flaky, to be sure, but the quality of the dictionary is worth it anyway.

Had the current developer simply included all the features from the previous developer, this would remain a superior product. Mobisystems is either unwilling or unable to include the word quiz component which was present in the previous software developer’s version. It stands to reason, the people willing to spend the money on this dictionary are word aficionados and as such appreciate the quiz feature. Furthermore, the word of the day feature is shamefully lacking in quality and seems comically random. The splash screen insisting on a 5 star rating is relentless. I certainly hope that screen will go away after I send this review!

Like the pronunciation feature, the images if applicable and been able to jump to words in the definition.

Excellent dictionary. Pretty nice app. Positive feelings about the app, however, are destroyed by the annoying prompts to rate the app. It seems every time I open it, I'm forced to click through a prompt to review the app. I'm working and want a definition. I don't want to be slowed down by intrusive prompts. I've finally given in and am reviewing in the hopes that the prompts will go away.
