The free dictionary app has wayyy more definitions and picture illustrations and its free. I'm still trying to use the app but I find myself constantly switching to the free dictionary to look something up. I expected a lot more for the money.
Before I bought this dictionary, I have the iPad version of the same dictionary and I love it. After I got my nexus 7, I bought this without hesitation. Initially it has the problem with audio like the other reviewer pointed out, but the help desk quickly solved the issue with an update. Compare to the iPad version, the only feature missed is the local audio database. All in all, I like the comprehensive dictionary and the breaking up word into its Latin or Greek etymology.
Best medical dictionary you can own on your Android!
I wanted to download the dictionary data for use in offline mode but the download gets stuck in the middle even on a good wifi connection and i just gave up after trying so many times.
i just purchased this dictionary. working fine but when i click on audio icon, it says can't load audio module. any help?
