Dictionary.com is the best free dictionary app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It uses the website Dictionary.com, but doesn't require an internet connection to use. It not only displays the definition of a word, but also includes a thesaurus. The app also includes a Word of the Day feature.
The app has four sections on the bottom: dictionary, thesaurus, recent, and word of the day. Dictionary shows definitions of words. Thesaurus shows synonyms of the words. Recent shows recently searched words. Word of the Day shows Dictionary.com's word of the day.
The dictionary works very well. It shows the word's part of speech, how to pronounce it, the meanings, and the words origin. It even has audio pronunciation available if you are connected to the internet.
It is very easy to go from dictionary to thesaurus. You just tap the thesaurus icon at the bottom and it instantly shows thesaurus results for the word.
When searching for a word and no results are found, the app shows similarly spelled words. For example, lets say you typed "reviuw" instead of "review". The app would suggest "review" along with other similarly spelled words.
Word of the Day show a dictionary entry for today's word.
The app is my favorite dictionary app. It works great and has all the features you need.
