Higher value for your $$
Perfect casual reference resource for 8/16 GB iPhones. I love it. Has enough etymological information to abundantly reward your search. And when you're in the mood, Words of the Day keeps your vocabulary sharp! Buy it
Fabulous App
Been looking for an app to use with school kids that could be used off line. Love this app. Will really help when they misspell a word because of its ability to correct them. Also appreciate how you can choose to not allow the profanity.
More than expected !!
