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
Nice app
To the previous reviewer, Dave Mac:
There is a 'suggest as you type' function in the app. That works perfectly for me. I am an English learner, a German guy, and this app is significantly helpful.
Good value for the money
I've upgraded to Advanced English Dictionary from the other product of the author and I must say this one is even better. The related words feature is mind blowing!
If you enter the word "amino acid" right after its description part it lists all types of amino acids. If you enter "vitamin" it lists both water and fat soluble vitamins separately. Just click one and check its description. Unique.
Amazing
Whether you're a bookworm; a writer or a college student filling up the brain with new words - 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.
