"About as speedy and straightforward as a dictionary can be. Entries spring open instantly when tapped, and search results update dynamically as you type."
[Wired Magazine App Guide]
"I think I'll skip making the dictionary app. Terminology is too damn good. Everyone who said I should make it: go buy Terminology instead."
[Marco Arment, Instapaper](https://twitter.com/#!/marcoarment/status/59488958333190144)
"Using Terminology is like having that friend’s undivided attention as they help you find just the right word or turn of phrase that you’re looking for."
[ShawnBlanc.net](http://shawnblanc.net/2011/08/terminology/)
"In my opinion, there’s no longer a missing dictionary app for the iPhone. Agile Tortoise’s Terminology—first launched on the iPad—is now available for the iPhone at an extremely affordable launch price of $0.99. It’s homescreen worthy."

GREAT
Love this app, I use it all the time, very happy with how it works.
Not great yet.
Looks like the devs are listening in the latest version the app icon no longer shows the gray border when downloaded.
However, several other fit and finish issues remain unaddressed: you can't tap the status bar to scroll to the top (especially annoying because scrolling is the primary method of navigation in this app), and the app can't be opened directly to word search: this should be an option, if not the default. Additionally, several icons in the app are not Retina Display quality, and so look ugly on modern iOS devices.
This app would be excellent if these issues could be addressed.
Great; easy to use
Like the features. I recommend:)
