About this app

Dictionary is a free offline English dictionary containing over 200,000 words and definitions and no ads. Dictionary is ideal for both native English speakers and English learners or people studying the English language. The dictionary definitions are stored locally, and because it's ad-free there's no need for a network connection. The home page contains a randomly selected word cloud which will pique your curiosity and help you improve your vocabulary, while the search box allows you to find specific words easily.

As you type, Dictionary homes in on the word you are looking for. Then you can follow the links in the definition page to get more word definitions. Wildcard characters can be used to help with word games like crosswords and scrabble where only some of the letters are known, or you have to find an anagram, or with spelling. Definitions include synonyms and antonyms which allows the dictionary to also serve as a thesaurus. The speech function helps provide the correct pronunciation.

Ratings and reviews

Love the app! Simple-to-use and quite informative. Wide range of definitions. Response time is fast. Has voice and dark mode setting. And, here's a clincher. No ads! Doesn't use much memory. Wish it had examples of word usage in sentences. Explicit words are terminology could be expanded. Possibly, add pictures. But overall, I think it's a great dictionary app. You won't know unless you try it. Highly recommended!

I first discovered this app on my Windows Phone. When I got an Android to use, with WhatsApp no longer being available therein, I was ready to hold on to the Windows Phone just to still have it (that's how much I love this App). Can't describe the joy I felt finding it's available for Android. Changed the settings to look like it was, on my Windows Phone though. 🙈

(2020 installed) Amazing search options using wildcards. I use this app every day (& on my laptop). Excellent if you're not sure how to spell a word and for exploring possibilities (it can generate anagrams) when doing word puzzles. I use it heaps. No ads. (2025: still using it heaps. Excellent app.)
