5.0 out of 5 stars Convenient
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2013
I simply love the convenience of having a dictionary that doesn't require an internet connection to run. I enjoy the bookmark feature as it makes it easy to keep up with words that are hard to remember or simply need to be referenced. Not only that but the built-in thesaurus makes it fun an easy to pinpoint words that are flamboyant, enhance context and help to better convey your thoughts. I've also noticed that you can tap on words—any word!—to go to the page containing the definition; a plus in my book. Finally, I like the scramble feature as it's fun to kill some time while learning something new and expanding my vocabulary. I do look forward to seeing some updates to this, in the future, if possible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Etymology and pronunciation included.
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2013
I grew up using a dictionary that included pronunciation and etymology. The previous dictionaries I've downloaded only provided these if the user is online. I don't have internet access for my tablet all the time, so I've been searching for one that gives me what I need, when I need it, offline. This one does a better job. It seems that vocal pronunciations may not be available for every world while offline, but it does well enough to satisy me, so far.

2.0 out of 5 stars UI is alright, but vocabulary is far too small
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2012
UI is alright, but vocabulary is far too small. Where's the OED for Kindle? Not the phony one currently offered, but the real Oxford English Dictionary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great app, but lacks a large enough database of words.
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2014
My title says it all. I love this app. But I am also required to keep a larger dictionary on my Kindle.
