Reviews and News on Tech Products, Software and Downloads - PCWorld

The Web is flush with Android applications that sound great, but don't necessarily deliver. Some of these apps cost a few dollars and offer functionality provided for free via other applications. The challenge is finding free Android applications that perform as well, or better, than their paid counterparts. That's where I come in, as I constantly comb the Android Market and third-party app stores for the best free downloads available. This latest installment is one you won't want to miss. Why? Every single one of these free Android apps has found a permanent home on personal Android smartphone, because they offer real value. Click on for details and download links. (Note: The following apps were tested on a Motorola (MOT) Atrix 4G running Android v2.2.1, but most should run on all new Android devices in the United States.) Read More

It’s back to school time in my hometown, and millions of students across the country are gearing up, or already in gear, for it. Here are a few apps that Android-savvy students should download. They may not all be geared specifically for school, but they are apps that will help you on and off campus. Browse the apps and click the “Install” button to download them to your phone.

If you're staring down at your shiny new Android phone wondering which apps to try first, hit up our list before you download anything else. Great applications proliferate on Google's Android platform, and our Android Starter Kit is merely a sampling of the best software plucked from the Android Market. Our top picks mostly represent practical stuff, like a task manager, a (way cooler) browser alternative, and phone tools. It isn't exhaustive by any means, but our roll call will get you going without overloading your phone's memory bank. Though basic, the free Barcode Scanner is a must-have for downloading apps and contact information via QR codes. It's also great for scanning product bar codes. Just because Android apps have no "close" button doesn't mean they shut down when you return to the home page or move on to another app. Your calendar, note pad, and programs in which you turn Read More

I actually tested about five different dictionaries. I selected a handful of weird words and looked them up: bourgeoise, prosophagnosia, etc. I kept score of how many of these words each dictionary had. This one won. Plus it offers both a dictionary and a thesaurus all in one. Plus, best of all, it can pronounce the words for you and it uses real people rather than robo-readers to say them. In my test, the robo-readers reallyl mangled "bourgeoise," Dictionary.com said it right.

A great app; should support SD if widget not required. Widget truncates word of the day definition. Has been stuck on 'sapid' for days now so has bugs. But still indispensable app. Update: still stuck on 'sapid'... clearing cache/data doesn't help. Reinstalled app.. widget is now occupying a 4x1 space, but only using 3. I hate that. And the word of the day no longer shows the definition!! and has an unwanted search box. Come on guys at dictionary.com... find a developer who can design! Widget is useless!

Its a good app and works great for a writer like me who is always in search of words. What I miss the most in the new version is the section where the earlier version had small articles on various topics. That was very informative. As an addition you all also can add a section of flash fiction/poetry in 55 to 100 words every day/week. These can be contributed by the users of the apps worlwide or by your set of editors. Will increase engagement & two way traffic. Contact me if u guys want more such ideas.

I use this often, with my morning crossword puzzles; where it is generally very helpful and accurate there are periodic errors. No bugs or flow issues however. I just reported an error, and should have all along, as this is how it will evolve to an excellent, 5 star app and reliable.resource! Mistakes happen, kind mentions would be most helpful. No sense beating to the follow up analysts! - An ex-app mgr!

Great App for quickly referencing unknown words or words you're unsure of; it saved me several times during business meetings when those execs. use those "big words"to try & sound smart. I've used it then...(turns out lot of times they were either using the words completely wrong, or were using the words in the wrong context)! Ha! Perhaps they could take a page from this book; "(I mean App). :) The Thesorous in this App is also handy when writing memo's/e-mails, etc. - to avoid using repetative words.

Abby Star

I'm 11 years old. I downloaded this application a few days ago. It's very useful at school in Science and Social Studies ( and maybe a little from Math too.) I hate using the book kind dictionary because it takes a long time to find the letter first of the word your looking for, and then searching pages for it. This application is very fadt and useful to me. Of you don't have a dictionary on any device you have, install this application NOW! ;) TRUST me, I don't bite. LOl :) <3

Stephanie

I just got this app and so far I'm impressed. I have a twelve year old who's constanly asking "what's that mean" or "how's that spelled" this app will drive her nuts... and free up much time for me. I can also see using it to create vocabulary word lists at home. Not to mention the killer thesauras! I'm hooked. And miriam webster? I had to uninstall 2 times. Took up way to much space and always slowed my samsung replenish down. Rocking the gingerbread... and this app rules.

Amber

This application plus the rhyming dictionary app... equals a match made in heaven. I love to write, poetry mostly. Sometimes I get stuck on my poetry I can't come up with a rhyme so I downloaded a rhyming dictionary app then this one right after I figured I'd need it since I sometimes use the online one. Now I love using this app for any reason! They even have the word of the day section... it's good to expand your vocabulary and learn something new every day! So easy to use and it's even got a 'favorites'!
