## What is English Thesaurus?

WORKS OFFLINE - Expand your English vocabulary or find just the right word for the assignment, our comprehensive word selection, and simple search options will have you using this app every day. With a minimalist display designed for functionality, it features visual cues, like usage guides and regional flags, and easy navigation between detailed results.

One of the largest collections of synonyms and antonyms featuring pronunciation, it includes not only single terms but phrases and complete colloquial proverbs. This wide-ranging collection of terminology is intended to be a professional writing aid for native speakers and a reliable tool for those learning the language. Internet connection needed only for the spell checker.

What makes this English Thesaurus unique? 

• The fact that you may enter set phrases, not only single terms, as valid entries. 

• The fact that you may obtain synonyms of parts of speech usually not included in other thesauri, such as exclamations, prepositional phrases, ​and idiomatic verbs. Even proverbs have their synonyms! 

• Vast database; no less than 1,767,000+ synonyms and 361,000+ antonyms.

• 349,000+ English words and 25,000+ pictures.

• Meaning Descriptors to help distinguish between the different word meanings. 

• Strict coherence of each synonym set. Transitive verbs yield only transitive synonyms. Intransitive verbs yield intransitive synonyms. Meanings and connotations of words are never mixed. 

• Phonetic transcription following IPA standards in American and British English. 

• Sync your favorites among your devices with Dropbox

• You may now enter plurals as valid entries. 

• Customize using available themes, background color, and font. 

• Fuzzy Search: Detects misspelled words and offers close suggestions.

* Please note this is a Thesaurus and therefore includes only English synonyms, no translations nor verb conjugations. Our General Reference Dictionary includes all those.

### 1/5 — Extremely basic

*2024-05-06*

Purchased this low quality app based on prior reviews but it is lacking, to say the least; it provides only very basic, simple synonyms that can be easily conjured up without the app; for serious writers - this is not your app; for elementary school children, it would probably be OK

### 1/5 — Don’t think for me just provide a group of words  I can use to make a selection

*2024-04-13*

I’m looking for an actual Thesaurus, not some  single, shallow word, or phrase that YOU think is what I’m looking for.  You obviously have no idea what I need.

### 1/5 — The app is not speaking out words.

*2024-01-07*

I couldn’t get help from the company either.  
It just wasted my money for this app.

### 5/5 — Two  words: excellent, unique.

*2023-04-08*

Best thesaurus!

### 5/5 — Good App

*2023-01-24, version 8.8.0*

I had been looking for an app that would speak as well as give me another word(s) to use. I was truly happy with my selection.

### 4/5 — Very nice but….

*2022-05-13, version 8.8.0*

…but, I wish you had included descriptions short of these historical characters which I get with the random function… It could not be that hard to do… I am lazy and it is very frustrating to search the names which I use for my defunct prognosticating business ha ha ha

### 5/5 — A good companion

*2021-12-04, version 8.8.0*

This app has been a tool, a very useful one, every time that I need help in clarifying the terms of my reading habits. I recommend it highly! Don’t remember if I paid for it, but if I did, my investment gave me a treasure!!!👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Five years

*2021-02-01, version 8.8.0*

Have been using this app for the last app, I've never been disappointed. Amazing amazing app.

### 5/5 — Useful‼️

*2020-12-05, version 8.8.0*

I love it❣️ I’m a teacher and I am constantly referring to this app to make sure I have the proper spelling, pronunciation, and definition of words❣️ Thank You for such a useful app❣️

### 5/5 — This application-

*2020-11-11, version 8.8.0*

Very helpful for finding multiple words that help me to express myself
