This app provides the most comprehensive single-volume English dictionary available on mobile platforms. It includes the full content of the Oxford Dictionary of English, Second Edition, along with over 72,000 pre-recorded audio pronunciations by British English voice actors.
Key features include the complete unabridged text, appendices, unique three-way cross-referencing search, real-time progressive look-up, wildcard searches, hyperlinking, and an optional online search for obscure words. It also offers bookmarks with notations, iCloud syncing, automatic history, a 'Word-of-the-Day' feature, and widgets.
No, the app is designed for complete offline use. Once installed, you do not need an internet connection to access the dictionary content, audio files, or most of its features. An internet connection is only used for an optional fallback search for very esoteric or new slang words.
The app supports a wide range of Apple devices, including iPhone, iPod, iPad, and macOS. It is compatible with iOS versions from 12 through to 18, and also supports iPhone 16. Features like multi-screen and Drag & Drop are available on iPad Pro.
The app is available for free with in-app purchases. While the core dictionary content and many features are accessible, certain functionalities or expanded content may require a purchase through the app's in-app purchase options.
