Advanced English Dictionary. for Android

It’s not a 3-star app either. I’ve used this app for years(Mobile 2, 2012 I think?) but even after all this time, the bookmarked word list STILL has no sorting function, not even alphabetically. If you’ve bookmarked hundreds of words as I have, it’s a slog to do it manually. Grab a W word from most recent bookmarked words and drag it past all the other words to its rightful place at the bottom of the list. Now do that with each unsorted new word. The 2nd issue is not being able to backup said bookmark list as separate readable list file to store and print out for study purposes. All other mentioned attributes in other reviews are true. There are even adapted foreign word phrases like sotto voce and noblesse oblige, a good amount of slang, and outdated but fun words like snollygoster and flapdoodler that do have a purpose when no other word would do the job. And for the consummate wordsmith, the thesaurus feature can keep you entertained for hours. For me, it’s a 5-star app that isn’t. Add the aforementioned vital features and it’s worth a whole sky full of stars!

Indicated as a great thesaurus but only offers a handful of synonyms and only ny reading through the definitions of a word

It has literally every word I’ve looked up and I read a lot. Compare to the other apps, this is 332 mb; others are 40 or 90. Any proper name, place name, mythological figure, many foreign words. Also will pronounce a word for you. Also gives pretty decent etymology. Highly recommended.

This dictionary is far above average — excellent in many regards. My one wishes that they would add the ability to export bookmarked words – e.g. for vocabulary building, or other uses.

This has been my favorite dictionary for years. I use several dictionary apps, but this dictionary stands out for the clarity of the brief definitions. It is available offline, and word definitions include less- and more-specific words, pronunciation, and an etymology section.
