About this app

WordNet® is a large lexical database of English with up to 140,000 entries and more than 1.4 million words, developed by the Cognitive Science Laboratory at Princeton University.

Instead of following the standard dictionary format, the WordNet dictionary is organized with an innovative and convenient approach. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms, interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. In addition to the straightforward definition the dictionary shows how each word is linked to other words in terms of synonyms, opposites and similar words, but also hyponyms and hyperlinks within the group.

The resulting network of meaningfully related words and concepts:
 • helps you to better understand the word meanings,
 • facilitates the quick finding of the correct meaning,
 • allows you to quickly memorize words.

Also included a Comprehensive Dictionary and Thesaurus:
 • Straightforward and precise definitions of over 140,000 words with more than 250,000 links and 1.4 million words.
 • Synonyms, antonyms, similar and related words to help you make your writing and speech more interesting.
 • Hypernyms (more generic words), hyponyms (subordinate words) and meronyms (part names)
 • Examples illustrate how words are used and show typical constructions and collocations.

NEW! Translate words in any other Android app with the Tap to Translate feature, and do it in style with any of the four colorful new themes.

It's a versatile full feature dictionary & thesaurus with an offline database that's available through the app for download. It also has a 'tap to translate' feature that makes for easy usability when looking for a definition in any language the app supports. There are plenty of dictionaries to download for no cost which only expands it's versatility. I'm quite pleased with the app

Was going wonderful for years until recently. Honestly one of the best dictionary apps on the market but lately it has restricted any any searching of words until Premium is purchased. I've never paid for a Premium version nor has it prompted me in the past to do so. Not sure if it's a bug or something but very frustrating

Based on this developer's comment, "we've focused on refining app performance and resolving issues." Sounds like they don't plan to add new features and words. Basically, maintenance updates. Well, it's better than nothing, I guess. Unlike their sister app, "Oxford Dictionary of English," the last update was 2020.
