Description
Price Reduced!This is not your father's dictionary. Words come from the across the Internet and the server's dictionary, ensuring you get a broad and modern range of definitions, usages, and contexts. See synonyms, usage samples, and original sources.
Perfect for when you are reading a book - never skip a word just because your paper dictionary is too far away or because your computer-based dictionary would mean too much of an interruption from your main task - reading. Keep it handy while reading in bed, on the bus, on the couch, but not in the tub.

What's New in Version 1.1
*** Update Notes for Version 1.1 **** Big Feature: In response to user comments, a complete History page has been added. You can now see your previous dictionary lookups listed by various sort orders. A user setting has also been added to allow for "private" lookups.
* Small Feature: You can can now lookup multi-word phrases
* Usability Improvement: When starting the application, it automatically re-loads the last word that you looked up. This is particularly useful when returning to the dictionary after visiting a source web page. This feature can be turned off via a user setting.
