Advanced English & Thesaurus 4.3.120

Look up various words, read definitions and save them to your phone
Instead of looking up new words in an actual dictionary, why not install one on your phone. Advanced English & Thesaurus app is a lot easier to use than an actual dictionary and comes with 1.4 million words that you can look up even if you don’t have an internet connection, making it available anytime you come across words you don’t understand.

Clean and intuitive interface

As expected the dictionary sports a neat and intuitive UI that makes it easy to search for words. It doesn’t come with instructions, but you wouldn’t need them. There are no ads, so you don’t have to worry about them taking up screen space. The app sports a search bar at the top of the screen and a settings icon. But you can simply use gestures to enlarge text. You can change the text size, from small to large and clear your cache history.

Look up various words

Considering its large database of entries and words, it’s highly likely that you would find everything you need in this app. Tap on the search icon and start typing in the word. Simply use symbols ‘?’ and ‘*’ to replace missing letters in the wild card section. The fuzzy filter is there to provide you with suggestions when you’re not sure about spelling. Results are displayed as you type and the app can also be used to look up names of famous people.

Save to favorites and check out the word of the day section

Each word comes with a definition, together with synonyms, hyponyms, hypernyms and holonyms. But there’s no pronunciations and the app doesn’t speak out words. Still, you have the option of adding words to your favorites section and the app saves a history of the last 50 words you looked up. In addition, it comes with a word of the day suggestion and a home screen widget.
