Pros and cons of Concise English Dictionary app for iPhone and iPad
Concise English Dictionary app good for
Not only this dictionary helps me to find out even the meaning of technical terms, but also it doesnt weigh on my pocket
works just fine for all my needs, anyway, in what way is the CED different to the AED? I was unable to cognize any differences from the screenshots...
Much better than the "top" dictionarys in the app store. Everything you need in a word!
This did everything it said it would, the price cant be beat (unless it was free), and it loads quickly.
An easy to use dictionary with basic functions but lots of entries. 99 cents is a steal
Excellent dictionary, feels very polished. I absolutely love the speed of this app. Every definition I have needed was there too.
Some bad moments
It says that the dictionary will sell for 0.99$ for one day only. 5 days have gone by, and the announcement is still up.
Besides that, you sometimes get the feeling that the definition entries were written in a sloppy manner, as I was able to spot some mistakes.
On the good side, the user interface is friendly and neat. The dictionary can meet the needs of a person who isnt interested in the smallest nuances of the language.
When they say concise, it really is. Sometimes the drfinition is to simple to get the meaning full meaning of the word. The thesaurus is lacking. They do hav a "general" section for the word you are looking up but it gives an extremely vague word that has almost nothing to do with the word you looked up. There are better dictionaries out there. I recommend using "wordbook"
Used to save history and bookmarks. Now, no longer does that.
Doesnt get updates that often.
5 star for content and 1 star for hounding me to give a review every time I try to look up a word.
There, your friggin review !!
