- 70,000 usage examples
- 85,000 text pronunciations
- Synonyms, similar and related words

The intelligent word entry suggests possible correct spellings as you type, as well as listing words that sound the same or are often confused.

Additional features include the ability to drill down on any word in a definition, full bookmark support and history.

Search features include:

- Alphabetical listing
- Spelling suggestions

The database includes proper nouns and common abbreviations in addition to English vocabulary (e.g. LOL, Oxford, JPEG, Webster, UNHCR, etc.)

You can quickly look up words from within other apps by selecting the word, then selecting WordWeb from the pop-up menu (requires Android M and higher).

No Internet connection is required to use WordWeb, and it's free. Better than dictionary.com? - judge for yourself!

Your app is excellent–hands down the most comprehensive dictionary app I've found to date. One small note - as a graphic designer & UI developer, I feel the new logo does the app a grave disservice. The old logo was much more effective - conveying the warmth & historical authority of old dictionaries. This new blue colorscheme is all wrong, having no bearing on either analog dictionaries nor conveying a positive emotion. The new icon is generic & banal, whereas the old was welcoming & relevant.

I love this app. Most usable dictionary out there. I would choose nothing other than this one. It is concise yet gives meaning(s), examples, and Pronunciation in the best possible way. Super lightweight but super capable!!! Thank you, creators!! Edit: But, please switch it back to the old app icon and theme if you can. It looks more authentic and has a better vibe to it than this blue theme and new icon.

Great but not truly "offline" as the app needs to connect to the internet to download the dictionary from the database. There are other dictionary apps that are truly offline and will work offline without needing to initially download from the database. Would like it if they made WordWeb dictionary fully offline and not reliant on the internet. Otherwise, it is one of the best dictionary apps out there and it doesn't drain battery.
