It is super impressive how it not only defines ANY financial term but it cross references to other terms that are related so you get a full perspective and understanding of what you are learning. I anticipate this tool to be with me for a very long time as I continue to learn everything about financial markets! Thank you so much.

It's great! ### 5/5 — Outstanding App *2017-05-04* The non business person is able to understand. Simple but detailed to all and any levels of business, finance, investing etc. etc. Thank you for Webster's in financial terms. Snake ### 5/5 — It's amazing *2017-04-15, version 1.7* I'm a beginner in this and this is helping me alot ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2017-11-25* ALL you can do is search for a term you already know exists. You can’t just read it like a dictionary and learn new terms! What use is that?!? I can just use google, this isn’t worth the space on your phone—LAME. ### 1/5 — Very weak. *2015-11-15, version 1.0* Not sure how this app gets such great reviews. There are a million ads in the 'free' version, and the amount of actual information is weak. Content found on their website can't be found in the app. I'll be deleting this one. ### 2/5 — Outdated information *2015-12-23, version 1.1* Seriously outdated info. Come on you can't provide IRA contribution limits from 2008!!!! ### 3/5 — Meme stocks *2021-12-11, version 3.2* The first word I looked up was Meme as in hyped lstocks that have gained popularity through social media on-line etc, not recognised in this dictionary, Just not up to date perhaps. ### 3/5 — No index or TOC *2017-05-15* The addition of an index or table of contents would go far in exploring its contents. The app simple opens to an empty search box and I know their content must contain some hierarchy that could be included. ### 4/5 — Util *2020-09-29* “In economics, the level satisfaction the person derives from a good or service”. This is a great app to use for reference to the language of business. I am an econometrics major class of 16’ (DNC). ### 4/5 — Wolf of Fleet Street *2018-03-29, version 1.7* Superbly made...Bravo bravo! ### 4/5 — Helping me! *2017-11-09* Looks pretty good so far! I love that you can click and learn a word if you don't know what it is in the definition you are reading. ### 4/5 — Fantastic resource! *2017-08-28, version 1.7* This dictionary is a fantastic resource. The paltry fee of $1.39 (CDN) to remove ads is worth paying without a second thought. I reserve the 5th star for when the app provides a standard A-Z 1-9 (etc) browsable dictionary instead of having to find the words themselves through searching (such as tabs, etc) and to have included a personal set of favourites (as a locally or cloud stored file) to keep newly learned words (or, in my case, frequently forgotten ones) in a single place. But, give the sorted A-Z option and then golden! ### 4/5 — Finance application *2017-06-02* Great app! Thanks😁 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Download this app! NOW! *2025-11-03* imo, Financial literacy is the one and true road to financial Freedom. & Farlex provides just that with this app. A free authorative, and accurate source of knowledge that's instantly available. So yeah what more is needed in a dictionary.. It's great. 👍🏼💯 ### 5/5 — Great resource to learn *2022-03-04, version 3.2* I have been using to learn wealth and stock market jargons and it is immensely helpful. ### 5/5 — Pleased *2022-02-22, version 3.2* Very professional & had made me studies easier ### 5/5 — Excellent *2022-01-07* Everybody should have this App, specially Realtors. ### 5/5 — Simply the best! *2021-01-30, version 3.2* This is one of the best free apps for understanding stock market jargon and it is a must have for retail investors. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — All I need *2020-04-02, version 2.0* Great source of information. ### 5/5 — Very informative *2020-03-02* Highly recommend it ### 5/5 — Studying for my 65 *2019-12-14* I am studying for my series 65 and wanted an app that I could quickly look up financial terms that were not obviously clear to me, many of the terms in the financial world I don’t understand as it is a new field. Although I have not had the app long it has been a great help to understand terms that are unclear to most outside the financial world (put,call,debenture etc.) and the fact that it was free to download and search terms is the reason I chose it over Oxford and a few other “name” brands. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Online perfect dic *2019-11-01, version 2.0* Super handy! I wish it were offline! ### 5/5 — Very useful *2019-07-10, version 1.7* Handy! Contains a sizeable amount of content for a free app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
