What names come to mind if you think of a dictionary name?
Merriam-Webster was probably one of them. Today, you can get the Merriam-Webster Dictionary HD app for FREE.
Personally, I just use Google search iPhone app as my dictionary app. However, if you are a word geek and like to browse through words and meanings Webster iPad app is a perfect companion for the following reasons unique to an iPad app.
- Voice Search
- Synonyms & Antonyms
- Example Sentences
- Audio Pronunciations
- Word of the Day
- NEW for iPad: Scrolling Index – lets you browse the entire dictionary
- Recent History – lets you keep track of the words you’ve looked up
The ability to hear pronunciations and looking up history of words I recently came across can be a great help while preparing for exams like GRE, TOEFL and GMAT.
Merriam-Webster iPhone app is also available for free and has most of these features as well.
