First class !
The suggested searches that popup on right are ugly and annoying
Excellent resource.
Useful tool and no ad trackers in this app.
Very useful. Comprehensive and fully English.
Very pleased. I love that I can easily get to word definitions from other apps, and the x-ref feature fits very well with the Chambers Thesaurus. Well worth the money.
Concise, droll, mirable… I recommend it.
Very good dictionary. The facility of a speaker button to pronounce a word would have been an added advantage.
Especially good for Scots words
Excellent
