Ratings and reviews

An excellent, up-to-date and easy-to-use dictionary. New words in the language are found here months or years before they're introduced in other dictionaries. I've been using the hardcopy version for close to two decades

Since it's platform is easy and simple,I am always tempted to use Collins Dictionary amomg scores of apps available on the internet .Above all it's free.I suggest an additional feature for a foreign users to refer,how that particular word's usage in a sentence to be shown.

From Jastiel Mika Mosha To Collins Dictionary Association I am a Tanzanian of middle age. I want to tell the whole world the 0Collins dictionary is a serious brief writing, excellent for youths in school. I love it very much. I am using it every day. Instead of carrying my dictionary book, I now carry this digital version. Thanks. I am praying for the language team that sat together to develop this special dictionary. Its a wonderful effort worth remembering. God Almighty bless you. Amen.
