Fabulous dictionary
I’m retired now but used the AHD for work for many years. Still opening it (the app) frequently.

Not regular updates of database and app..
It’s ashamed that as this app was purchased spending a considerable amount of money, app must be updated and improved on regular basis because it’s said that it is premium app. Last update was years far away.

Great Dictionary, Cartoonish Interface
The best dictionary for American English, with word origins, and a large vocabulary. This particular app interface is a bit cartoonish, as if it were designed for kids. It could be improved.

Word Origins
This is my favorite dictionary because of the simplicity (and accuracy) with which you can trace etymologies.
