It s easy to use and I really like the Thesaurus I would give it 5 stars if it had the audio pronunciation help                 Ultralingua Rightious567

The location of the tabs to change from dictionary to thesaurus are way too close together No head ups warning or obvious declaration that user is no longer in a dictionary search New App operation has created a mangled mess compared to previous App Using Google search is both easier and faster BTW You should fire the morons who talked you into this mess     Brainbucket BrainBucket

Holy cow what a version It s great and I love the suggestions when you misspell Attractive layout and fast It gotten even better than before Thank you Great for crosswords when you really want to cheat too and a huge lexicon                     I love this app Jaspertonka

Hate the UI Hate the way the function changed Pretty useless app now     Extensive changes have ruined it nekogami13

Love this app and I love ultralingua Also Ashleigh Lincoln is a superstar                     Ultralingua Rocks RyanPisAwesome!

Too bad it doesn t have an extensive vocabulary Lots of words missing         Poor Vocabulary texaskelt

This update apparently crashes for many users but Ultralingua Support suggested deleting and reinstalling the app Worked fine after that                 Crash Problem Fixable Word Maven

Nice application I m impressed with it s flexibility and speed A genuine tool and far superior to web based surrogates prior to app store Exceeded expectations                     Superb maxlove00

Great dictionary I especially like the etymologies                     Great Philippe331

I almost bought it when it was 29 99 and then did buy it when it was 19 99 Mixed feelings about the price now being 9 99 although glad to see the price dropping just a little disappointed that I paid double what the price is now However I still feel it was worth the 19 99 What will it be next week Oh well on to the app excellent dictionary Quick and very well designed This really is a great app and is a great reason to have an iPhone         Great App Mike88

If you are somewhere that doesn t have Internet then this is a good dictionary app for you It works without internet so I use it when I am doing schoolwork in the car                     Really Good on the run dingousa12

How can you have the word pedantically but NOT pedantic in a dictionary And THEN use the word pedantic in the definition of pedantically     I m done GoodGrrl

All of the words I ve looked up were in this program Will continue using it             So far so good KoukiFC3S

I love this dictionary I mean that the deffinitions are so concise and tasty e g reverie n absent minded dreaming while awake etc                     favorite f.s.s.

Poor quality dictionary should be free for what it has to offer 10 is way to much money for a ditionary that can only come up with word definitions 3 out of 10 words at best It always fails to find the words I m looking up very disappointed Try WeDict its free and has plentiful libraries to add to it on a JB d phone Boo for Ultralingua     Poor quality dictionary should be free for what it has to offer Owlsmyles

Nice to have a dictionary even though you could go on line only request I have is to be able to Change font unless I just missed it             Good Program CiscoTech

It is                     Best one out there RMC4571

If I d had access to a database I would have loved to try and write an application like this Obviously I d like an OED but in lieu of that this application fits the bill From the one star reviews I ve read based on the price those reviewers need this dictionary more than those that have paid for it so far Spend the money to have instant access to a great reference tool After a little further testing I am adding a slight caveat to this review I downloaded a more recently released free dictionary and noticed this flaw so I put Ultralingua to the test too I found that when looking up punctilious only punctiliously is provided as a result Additionally it was defined as in a punctilious manner in both dictionaries which does no good whatsoever and is the reason I ve dropped it from five stars down to three             Thank you madhatter17

I am unable to download the upgrade to my Mac and the online support is not helpful         Can t upgrade AnnieL.

I feel I wasted my 10 bucks a lot of words you can not find no spell check and the recent update only makes it pretty Too many things need to be improved     Bad piece Erinandyliangsong

So far I ve used this app to look up 3 words none of which are in this dictionary A major update is needed and I wouldn t recommend buying this until they do         Words anakadote

Ultralingua s English Dictionary and Thesaurus is easy to use and the interface is well designed The newest version 1 1 greatly improves the thesaurus integration One major feature I hope they add in the future is a usable pronunciation guide The strange characters currently provided after the word are useless They don t even use consistent symbols for the same sound in the same word This is evident even in the sample images they provide At 9 99 I think Ultralingua s English Dictionary and Thesaurus is very good a good value I paid 19 99 when I bought it and I feel I got my money s worth With the 1 1 update I m increasing my rating to 4 stars                 Great dictionary now with better thesaurus integration liuping

Uhmmm well the UI is better now is way better to navegate still missing the word incorporation as you type                 Mr MgDark

With an extremely strict English professor I just pull out my white phone and make sure what I m turning in is perfect Love the app                     10 Well Spent [Digitul Heaven]

I thought most dictionary would have words come up as your typing them can you incorporate this into an update for us bad spellers Get SlovoED Dictionaries it has that feature most of them have Save your money         Where is the word as you type RussOniPhone

WeDict is FREE and has much more readable fonts and most importantly THIS IS NOT A COLLEGIATE LEVEL DICTIONARY AS STATED I have been unable to find definitions for MULTIPLE words that are easily rendered in other dictionaries WeDict American Heritage etc I want my 10 back what a rip off     THIS IS NOT A COLLEGIATE LEVEL DICTIONARY AS STATED jds4000

This app is very useful for me I am college student and anytime I am stuck on a word I just pull out this little app to help me out Well worth the 10 to me                     Good App Tirons99

It is nice to have a dictionarty on the iPod without internet connection It would be nice if it would give suggested spelling for mispelled words I have used it a few days and found some words it does not contain for example apoptosis and perestroika                 Good dictionary JohnDan

Get the WeDict for free unless you need the thesaurus Neither have pronounciation         Not worth it klatron

It would be even greater if they added a flash card section                     Great app Kundir

I love to see market forces in action This app started at some ridiculous price 30 I think Then it dropped to 20 Still too high and now it s at 10 For ten bucks this Dictionary and Thesaurus is worth it I used to carry a pocket dictionary and was hoping there would be a good dictionary app for the iPhone This is that app You get a dictionary a thesaurus a verb conjugator and a little tool that spells out large numbers Great for writing checks If you still write checks these days My only complaint is the app could look a little better But that really is not a problem at all and the art could get in the way if it wasn t done right If you want a dictionary app and thesaurus for the iPhone then this is it for now         Finally at a decent price and still has lot s of features Puke0010

I really like the look and clean simple design of this App Very nice job Some suggestions though 1 You really need the Spell as you type feature 2 A pronunciation button to hear audible pronounciations of the words we look up I think your dictionary is great but these 2 missing features are a must have I would gladly pay for them if that would get them in the App                     Really great App Future of Tokyo

Worst dictionary ever It doesn t have so many word And barely makes suggestions for misspelled words Paid 20 a few weeks ago Knowing what I know now won t even buy it if it were 5 DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY     Buyer Brianhc

Not perfect but very good I like the fact that every word within a definition is hot clickable to pull up either the Dictionary Conjugation or Google option for that word The conjugation feature isn t fully cross referenced unfortunately For example ask it to conjugate boat and it will say no entries But go to the definition of boat and under the verb entry it is fully conjugated The interface is very clean and easy to use and read I wish there were a back button Some selections may take you to a blank no entries screen If you find yourself on a dead end search you can t return to your previous page and results unless I am missing something obvious Overall though great depth that seems to offer the same collegiate level dictionary material as Ultralingua 7 for the desktop Very handy to have on my phone and certainly worth the price Ignore the reviews of those who admittedly haven t bought the software and are only giving negative reviews because they don t like the price How can you rate the value and performance of software if you have never used it The value here is great and I own the product                 Very Good and Useful App notabadname

I am a college student and this app comes in handy Anytime I run into a new word or even need a refresher of an old word I have this dictionary app with me at all times                     Very Handy RicKxZisT

New review First I ll say thanks for dropping the price down to 9 99 I bought it so I kept my word Needs some improvements so your Dictionary Thesaurus is easier to use 1 Just like in your Conjugations section where you start to type and it narrows down the choices The dictionary AND thesaurus ought to have this feature I had this feature when I was using my Treo 650 with the 995 Dict which was incidentally also 9 99 and take a look at Dictionary app in both Tiger Leopard as another example Both of them allow you to narrow down the search as you type it in This is particularly useful when I m not the best speller and I m trying to look up the word apocryphal for example 2 Once I find a word in the dictionary I may want to look up the synonym or antonym In order to do this I have to go back out of the Dictionary and enter in Thesaurus then retype the word Again take a look at the implementation in Dictionary app in Leopard A single button will allow you to switch from the Dictionary to the Thesaurus without the to retype the word Making these two simple improvements will give your app more polish and give your customers a more useful enjoyable experience My 2 cents Old review I bought a dictionary for my Treo 650 two years back for 9 99 and used it frequently It was totally worth it Mac OSX Tiger and Leopard come built in with the Oxford dictionary and Thesaurus which I use almost daily I think the iPhone should have a free download of the Oxford dictionary since Apple already licensed it from Oxford Maybe some bright person will grab the data from Library Dictionaries New Oxford American Dictionary dictionary and then place a skin and a simple UI for the iPhone version and put it for free on the App store 20 00 is more than I m willing to pay Drop it to a more reasonable level and then we can talk Right now its overpriced                 I put my money where my mouth is You dropped it to 9 99 and I bought it dig48109

The price is finally drop to 9 99 so that is the reason I purchased it It is actually a good dictionary but it would be a great dictionary if it provides spelling check if I mistype the word                 Great Price Good Dictionary damahala

Purchased after price reduced to 9 99 Good basic dictionary Could be improved by increasing word coverage expand definitions Recommend inclusion of suggested reply as word typed into Search Recommend this app                 Good app could be better pbGuy

As one who actually PURCHASED this app I find that it is very well done for the most part and am pleased to have a professionally made app on my Touch Some criticisms 1 More words needed Missing gravitas as it own entry gougiere sybaritic 2 Need better search features and search within entries Also searching sybaritic should list sybarite as a choice 3 Need a choice to save delete your own words All in all WELL worth the 20 bucks                 Great App but FMedDoc

let me address some gripes pausing locking up crashing i have more problems w contacts than this app it seems fast and responsive overall as you type searching would be nice but the search results are VERY thorough and provide definitions on the results page the ability to touch any word anywhere on the screen and get definition conjugation or google is an AWESOME feature this app is way better than wedict ive used and seems like a better option than the inattentive American Heritage i would look for good updates for this app as Ultralingua obviously pays attention to reviews lowered price 20 5 if audio pronounciations were available                 worth 10 chucky_cheeze

Exactly what I ve been looking for and wishing iPhone had for a year Terrific                     Fabulous cmslapis

There are too many comments posted from non users I think Apple should allow only those that have acutally purchased the app to review it OK now that I ve gotten that off my chest I thought the app was very good for the price After using it I now know that it was worth 19 but possibly not 29 The UI is quick simple and I like it alot Not having to connect to the Web is very well worth the price I would give it 5 if possible words would show up as you type Interestingly that feature is included when you type in verbs for conjugations which I like also However if you misspell word it does offer an alternative like Did you mean Overall a great app Thanks to the developers and I look forward to the updates                 I should have purchased it sooner ScottiePippen

I always used Ultralingua mobile on Safari and I loved it And when I saw the price of this app lowered to 9 99 I purchased it immediately So I open the app up and I see two bars on the top and bottom that take up too much of the screen The UI is inefficient and ugly and scrolling is buggy sometimes and cuts off the definitions When you tap on a word the highlighting is slow and also buggy I sometimes highlight two at the same time Why did you guys have to make a new UI The web app version was really nice and smooth Please improve the UI and add a feature that lets us modify the bottom bar with the Dictionaries Conjugations and Numbers buttons like in the iPod app             Welcomed price drop buggy UI patcapulong

This application lacks some very basic words I may have missed something but it does need to assist when words are not spelled correctly The operative word is intuitive As such the rating is moving down a notch Touch and visual interface appear to be well thought out The numbers selection needs improvement e g no decimals For a 1st generation product the value add appears to be positive Have not seen other English dictionaries available If the market is not being properly exploited the developers should take advantage of the situation focus on the customer and command the market             1st Generation Product ellis.lae

I wrote another review for this but it didn t get posted most likely because I was too explicit regarding the definition I found for the word vestibule To summarize one of the first words I looked up was vestibule and I was surprised to find a very unexpected definition for the word and no mention whatsoever of entryways or architecture I looked up the word elsewhere and found the definition I was expecting The definition given by the app was there as well but as a secondary definition Given that experience I m rating this low because I no longer have any faith in the definitions it gives I agree with the reviewer who said that the interface is nice but the content is iffy I ll never use this app except to confirm what I already know and that definitely doesn t make me feel good about the 20 I shelled out         Untrustworthy content eirenical

Great App Fair price                     English Dictionary Rapid-Richard

I really enjoy the interface on this dictionary but content can be odd For instance I looked up witching hour and can t find it anywhere But if you look up midnight in the thesaurus you find witching hour there How can it be in the thesaurus but not the dictionary I looked up wry which had drole misspelled If you click on drole you get a message the word doesn t exist The correct word is droll I haven t yet looked up many words so I don t know how widespread the mistakes omissions are             Great interface iffy content Jon M.

This is way over price there is a free one called we dic I mean there is not much of diffrence     Oh my god peter413

No collegiate level dictionary should lack the word rapprochement so I find it hard to believe this is one         Sorely lacking whm3

It s invaluable to have a collegiate dictionary with me at all times Included with the definition is the IPA pronunciation and for many words the etymology Clicking on any word in the definition pops up a new window with three options Dictionary Conjugation and Google The Dictionary option will take you to the word s definition and the Google option performs a Google search on the word The Conjugation tenses include present present progressive future future progressive future perfect preterit past progressive present perfect pluperfect conditional past conditional and imperative Also included is an excellent thesaurus and a number to text converter The interface is intuitive and not having to worry about variable Internet speeds connections everything is stored on the phone it takes up about 15 megabytes makes the program worth every penny                     Worth it velaguitars
