If you’re tired of people always telling you to “look it up” when you don’t know the meaning of a word, or just often need to look up the meaning of words for reports and essays, there’s now a reference app that everybody should have on their iPhone or iPod Touch. It’s the Merriam-Webster Dictionary app of course. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary has long since been thought of as the reference book of all reference books, and now you can take it with you wherever you go – without having to weigh your backpack down.

This app will bring you every meaning to any word that you could ever think of. But it has the unique voice recognition feature too. This not only means that looking up words is easier and more fun than ever, but it also means that you don’t have to know how to spell a word in order to look up the meaning of it. You don’t even have to guess at a close spelling! Just say the word and the app will bring it up for you.

The app will also keep a short history of the words that you most recently looked up. So if you look up a word and then need it a little while later (when you get farther along in that report, perhaps) it will be even easier for you to look up. And what dictionary app is going to be complete without a “Word of the Day” feature? Yes, this app will give you that too, so you can constantly impress your friends with all the new words you know, and just keep forever increasing your own personal vocabulary! No ads, just words and their meanings – and they’re all free! Get them all now, by downloading the app here.
