I was considering the paid version, now I'm not sure. I tried looking up "Beatle" and "beatles" and neither was found, even though "McCartney" or 'lennon" both returned definitions that references "beatles" but even then, clicking on the word returns nothing.

Aside from the Collins, this is the only thorough dictionary I've found that lets you export definitions directly to Anki flashcards. Unfortunately, with the latest update, it now adds an obnoxious URL for the definition online. I really hate this as well as the new bright white UI with a cluttered home screen. Anyway... The dictionary content is great. The definitions are usually quite plain-spoken, often with helpful usage notes. In most cases, I reach for the AHD or Collins, which has IPA transcriptions for the pronunciation and whose definitions tend to be more concise. (I also use the Oxford Shorter daily and Merriam-Webster's once in a while, for context. The UI for Merriam-Webster's is my favourite of the four if that's your deciding factor.) I'd also like the option to disable downloading the pronunciations—I never use them and they use up unnecessary space.

One of the important features of tihs dictionary, which is unique among others, so far as I know, is the giving of indo-european and semetic roots of some words. It is wonderful. Also it has some pictures, which is also unique among the dictionaries of similar extent, so far as I know. Thanks a lot for such a helpful and great app.

It's a great app, yet, it misses two important features: first, the night reading mode, and second the ability to switch between the dictionary and the thesauruse for the same subjected word.

Has Even King James Bible definitions that other dictionaries don't have, for instance selah in psalms means end of sentence. God bless Devs. ????
