Description
Terminology is a browser for the English language – part dictionary, part thesaurus and part research tool. Terminology makes it easy to explore words and phrases, diving down to more and less specific terms - accessing the web and other apps for more detail and sharing.
More than a dictionary, Terminology can be extended with custom actions to search the Internet and other reference apps – making it a great place to start all your searches.
Use the share extension to select text anywhere, in any app, and look it up in Terminology.

Version 4.7
Slight redesign of actions, now providing a menu of additional actions next to the scrolling button row to allow easier access. This menu replaces the actions previously displayed at the bottom of a term's definitions.
Ratings and Reviews
Unfair reviews
Just reading a couple of the previous reviews where they are accusing the developer of being dodgy etc because they are too stingy to pay less than ½ a single cup of coffee to unlock the new (and much improved) version of the app.
This is the developer who created Drafts one of my favourite apps on iOS and now on MacOS. Dodgy couldn’t be further from the truth.
I’ve been using Terminology since Day 1 and love it.
Next time I’m buying a cup of coffee I will think of what a great value this app is 😏
Changes the way I write on iPad
With iOS 11, Terminology comes into it’s own. On an iPad Pro I have it side by side with my writing app and look up words as I go, or have it as a third window off screen that I slide into view when needed. Very nice.
This app is the beginning of something great. It’s annoying, though, that it takes two presses to start a new search from a previous search. That baffles me, everything else is so well thought out. It’s worrying that the developer misses that. Otherwise, awesome.
I’m looking forward to digging into the extensible options to see what else it can do for me.
In-app ad shakedown
App was a paid ad-free app, developer updated to include in-app advertising that is distasteful and intrusive. Requires in-app purchase to remove advertising. Effecting a shakedown of existing purchasers of their old app in order to force a paid upgrade to a new version is a 🍆 move (Tried to use Terminology to find an appropriately descriptive word here but couldn't bear using it after fourth full screen ad). I'm looking for an alternative paid-app where the developer treats customers better.
