Oxford Dictionary & Thesaurus

A working reference for words

Oxford Dictionary & Thesaurus puts dictionary, thesaurus and bilingual reference material in one Android app. It suits students, writers, translators and anyone who needs more than a quick definition. Search results include meanings, related words, phrases and usage examples, so you can check both what a word means and how it is normally used.

Useful when the spelling is uncertain

The app supports several ways to look something up. Fuzzy search can help when you do not know the exact spelling, while wildcard search is useful when you know only part of a word. Camera lookup and voice search provide alternatives to typing. A tap-to-translate feature can also help when reading text in another app.

• Definitions and usage examples for checking meaning and context
• Thesaurus entries for finding related or alternative words
• Idioms and phrases for less literal expressions
• Favourites and word-of-the-day tools for keeping useful vocabulary close

Built for regular reference work

This is a large reference collection rather than a small pocket glossary, with 15 Oxford dictionaries covering general and bilingual use. Dark mode makes longer reading sessions easier on the eyes. The free version includes advertising, and some functions, including audio pronunciation and offline access, are reserved for Premium access.

A widely used reference app

Developed by MobiSystems, the app has a 4.33/5 rating from more than 535,000 reviews and 50,000,000+ installs. Those figures fit its main strength: it is a practical tool for repeated word checks, study and writing, rather than an app you open only to browse.
