About this app

Dictionary is a free offline English dictionary containing over 250,000 words and definitions and precisely 0 ads. 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. Use your device theme or choose dark or light theme with custom colours.

Dictionary is ideal for both native English speakers and English learners or people studying the English language, with a high-frequency words option and 'word of the day'. You can also track your favorite words and search history.

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!

(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.) I wish the option buttons could be moved to the top since they overlay my phone's control buttons.

after many bad experiences with dictionaries, whether requiring subscription or otherwise, I have found a great companion with everything I need and not anything less or more. available offline
