I’ve found “American Heritage” to be superior to Webster’s, and this EXCELLENT app is a must for serious readers; I refer to it often.
United StatesYES!
I finally got my favorite dictionary back when I was using the app thru ENFOUR I was always losing it every time. My iPad had to be updated. I bought it way too many times but now I bought it through MOBI systems and I have had no problems. It’s my good old favorite. Yes I had to pay $20 again but it was worth it. I love this dictionary it’s the best there ever was has the Hebrew and Greek meanings of words pictures it is invaluable to me in my personal study of the Bible and I use this dictionary all the time
United StatesMeh
It's needs a refresh. It feels like the designers don't actually use the app.
United StatesWonderful APP

I've used this dictionary for many decades through multiple editions and am delighted with the electronic version, which makes access even easier. Its special strengths, beyond very well thought out definitions, are excellent attention to etymology and explicit discussions of usage panel recommendations and sometimes disagreements. I was disappointed a year ago that my purchase did not carry over to a new iPad and I had to buy it again, and a third purchase came with a new iPhone. The management company could solve this only if I could come up with my original receipts and it wasn't worth searching for them. That's flaky, to be sure, but the quality of the dictionary is worth it anyway.
United StatesCould be better
Had the current developer simply included all the features from the previous developer, this would remain a superior product. Mobisystems is either unwilling or unable to include the word quiz component which was present in the previous software developer’s version. It stands to reason, the people willing to spend the money on this dictionary are word aficionados and as such appreciate the quiz feature. Furthermore, the word of the day feature is shamefully lacking in quality and seems comically random. The splash screen insisting on a 5 star rating is relentless. I certainly hope that screen will go away after I send this review!
United StatesGood dictionary
Like the pronunciation feature, the images if applicable and been able to jump to words in the definition.
