Free App Friday: Back to School
Calendar16 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 21:03:49 UTC +00:00
Posted 08/27/2010 at 1:03pm | by Florence Ion It's back to school time and you know what that means--sales across all department stores nationwide (might we suggest you consider a wardrobe update during this time?), and adorable kids crossing the street with over-sized backpacks, and plenty of gridlock in front of your school. Well, we're not too thrilled about that last part, but what's better than sending your kid off to school with a MacBook, iPhone and iPad loaded with useful apps? Bear with us here. This Mac application might look a bit work-intensive because of it's simplistic user interface, but school is supposed to be hard work, gosh darn it! Plus, the more time you spent entering the data, the more you'll have to remember it. They say that long-term memory is what you're supposed to tap into to pass tests, right? We're probably wrong, but we're right to direct Read More

Great dictionary & Free
Stevepug 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Wow. Am I really first! I don't think I've ever been first at anything! Fine dictionary app but I'm afraid that I'm not the best critic right now because at the moment absolutely everything I see on this iPad blows me away! I can't believe this thing! Without doubt the single most extraordinary computer, no, broaden that, electronic experience I've ever had!! Hooray for Apple! Hooray and bravo Zulu to the wizard, Steve Jobs!! I stand in awe! Somebody better check on me in a couple of days because I don't think I can put this thing down!

This dictionary is sick...I love the fact that u don't have to be connected to the Internet to use it, and thanx whoever made this app cause it's really helpful for school.
Very handy, and you can't beat free!

The only thing keeping this app from five stars for me is that it's not universal. I have the iphone app as well, and it's awkward to have two apps that do almost the exact same thing and have very similar names. Otherwise, this is *the* dictionary app for the i* devices.

This app is on the front page of my iPhone and is now on the front page of my iPad. I am always impressed by this application and would buy it if it were not free. Great deal!
No brainer

Just delete the iPhone version from your iPad by touch+hold the icon until it starts to wiggle, then tap the X on the icon). When you do this, iTunes will automatically remove the Sync checkmark for the iPhone app so that it will not re-sync to your iPad (but will continue to sync to your iPhone). I agree with others, this app is a nice addition to the iPad!

Really good app, just needs some work like erasing the word from the search bar, other than that it's a really good app.
Good App
MonkeyBeards 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Great app, very handy to have as a reference when writing. Love that it works off line as I'm not always at an area with a wifi connection and couldn't look a word up online.
Nice

Thesaurus is very good and the best of this app. Worth it.
Has UI bugs
toohirsute 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
I haven't used it much yet, partly due to its UI bugs. Scrolling only works if you flick the text, not the white space on the far right of the text which is where I scroll (I have the iPad in horizontal mode right now). The little x in the search box doesn't clear the prior search; you have to delete the search one character at a time.
Great App

Great dictionary, however the only thing keeping me from giving it five stars is that it does not include the crossword solver.
Love this app
Burnz 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I wasn't sure if I was going to like this app but I figured it never hurts to have access to a dictionary. Yes I could look it up on the web but here is one authoritative source (it is built on Random House) with the definitions laid out in a consistent way. I used it almost immediately and I find it very easy to use. As an added bonus it has Word-A-Day to help build your vocabulary! Now I know what neologism (the word for today) means!! Cool!
Currently the best!

Do not buy the commercial dictionary. This one here is much better!
I LOVE this App!
DotCom2 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I love how it not only gives you the definition, but also how to pronounce the word. I have this app on both my iPhone and iPad. I don't have any problems whatsoever on either device! GREAT!
Very handy
