HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (0.4 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ But does not have: audio pronunciation example sentences Free version - which is why there are so few users
★★★★★ The app is easy to use, completely functional even with relatively old versions of iOS, and uncluttered by annoying pop-up ads and banners—and it's free.
★★★★★ This blows away all the free dictionary apps by far.

★★★★★ Fast, clean and professional.
★★★★★ By far the best I have tried—the interface is both fast and pleasant, and offers powerful search features that should be standard on any dictionary application (including wildcard, partial matches, homonyms, etc.).
★★★★★ Sparse and efficient interface, seems to have all the content including "taghairm".

Excellent reference, one item…

The ability to access the dictionary and thesaurus through the share menu in various apps would be a tremendous help.

★★★★★Nov 25, 2024
As it should be

A dictionary should be Accurate Complete - with all definitions and relevant info Refined - concise in language This dictionary app contains most features you would expect: Going to previous word Dark mode Advanced word searching Etymology / derivation / origin And a few unexpected features. But does not have: audio pronunciation example sentences Free version - which is why there are so few users

★★★★★Nov 29, 2023
Perfect except for one thing

Great app! but why cant i paste???

It’s pretty confusing that such an elegant masterpiece has not been well-known in decades. As an ESL learner, it took me a while to find a concisely defined dictionary using relatively simple vocabulary. The vast majority of famous contemporary dictionaries tend to become wordy in terms of definitions. But the Chambers has rid me of that kind of annoyance. Three years ago, I purchased the same app on the google play store. And now I'm more than happy to invest in it again.

Best English Language Dictionary Ever

Clear, concise, and occasionally hilarious, the Chambers is the best English dictionary in existence. I’ve bought it in several forms over the years and this app does it justice.

★★★★★Mar 26, 2018
Great Dictionary!

This Chambers app is an amazing app, like all of Word Webs. Here are my recommendations to the developer for mobile: (1) Just as with your desktop software, let you switch in tabs between all the dictionaries and thesauruses you purchase. That is a critical feature in your desktop applications and increases their value and makes it sensible to buy ALL your dictionaries. This would be a moneymaker for WordWeb and great for users. (2) Why not sell your other desktop dictionaries on mobile? No work and more revenue, and your users would benefit. Here is my recommendation regarding Desktop: (1) Please make the spacing and placement of lines of text consistent as one switches between the tabs of WordWeb books. (2) Please use MacOS built-in support for graphics card acceleration for more natural resizing on the wide variety of displays. It looks really bad as you resize and for a business to purchase this app for this users, that raises questions of longevity.

Store description

Chambers is the single-volume international English dictionary with the widest coverage of all the riches of the English language. Clear, accurate and occasionally witty definitions, with the latest new words from science, technology and contemporary culture. This 13th Edition reflects the changes in our language, with special attention paid to new words that have emerged, new uses of old words and the most up-to-date pronunciation. The 13th Edition includes over 260,000 distinct words, compounds, phrases and derived forms. The intelligent word entry suggests possible correct spellings as you type, as well as listing words that sound the same or are often confused. Search features include: - Alphabetical listing - Spelling suggestions - Sounds-like and often-confused - Fast pattern-matching search (*, ?, vowel and consonant) - Filter search results by noun, verb, adjective, adverbs - Customize search options (case, derived forms, etc) - Full text search - Anagrams There are also standard bookmark, recent word and random word features. No Internet connection is required, and it supports Split View and Slide over for use with other apps on iPad. The Chambers Dictionary is treasured by word-lovers and crossword enthusiasts for its majestic coverage of English and its tradition of sneaking in a sprinkling of light-hearted definitions. Alone among the single-volume dictionaries, it preserves a rich stock of words from our literary heritage as well as covering all the latest developments in contemporary English. Chambers Thesaurus is also available as a separate app, and can easily be cross-referenced from the dictionary. Our WordWeb, Chambers, Collins and Oxford dictionaries are also available separately for Windows and Mac desktop.
