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
Great app
I am very pleased with Advanced English Dictionary. This is one of the most handy and user-friendly apps that I've used. It helps make the occasionally irksome word hunts efficient and a delight.
A great all-around dictionary for anyone.
One of my favorite dictionaries
No matter what mobile platform I use, one of the non-changing apps will be this dictionary. Especially recommend it for those who prepare for GRE.
Amazing app
This fine and indispensable app is a necessary addition to the iPhone. It not only gives a definition but goes further to give numerous examples and related words. Multiple meanings are well presented and there are thousands of new definitions of foreign terms and phrases, geographical places etc. Thumbs up to the developers!
