Advanced English & Thesaurus 4.3.120
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.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
Simplistic but intuitive design that makes it easy to look up words, synonyms and bookmark definitions to your phone. |
Function7
The great thing about this app is that it’s available offline, but it doesn’t come with TTS and there are few features to choose from. |
Security7
The app needs a lot of permissions from your phone, but it doesn’t pose any privacy issues. |
Battery9
Power consumption is minimal, so you don’t have to worry about draining your battery while using this app. |
Price9
Completely free of charge, no ads but the developers are advertising some of their other apps. |
Compatibility9
It should work just fine on devices running Android version 2.2 or later. |
A great dictionary app that’s missing some features.
