OVERVIEW
Advanced English Dictionary is distinguished from the other (paper, electronic) dictionaries in many ways. Not because it contains far more words than a conventional paper dictionary, but because it uses a radically new approach and technology. Instead of just listing the words and their definitions, Advanced English Dictionary shows how every word is linked to another. Type in the word "tree" and you will get not only the definition, synonyms and opposites, but the hypernyms (a tree is a kind of what?), meronyms (what are the parts of a tree?) and more. You can also find a list of hundreds of trees, from yellowwood to the Tree of Knowledge. This revolutionary approach will help you to understand the meanings of words better. Take a look at the screenshots to get the idea!

Customer Reviews
you can pay more but not get anything close to this
This is my first review in the app store. Here is a proof that you don't always get what you pay for. This gives you waaaay more. So much more then just a list of definitions and at this price? Amazing.
good ap
Overall very good, easy to use dictionary. My only companit is that it always starts with your last word. It should start blank to save the step of erasing the last entry
Best dictionary for those who just want to know
Usually I just need to know the meaning of a word as quickly as possible and that's what I get. With that said, my favorite feature is similar words.
I love to read Kindle books on my iPhone. When I don't know a word I'm reading, I like to use AED and get right back to my book. When OS 3.0 comes out it'll be even better with copy/paste.
