WordReference Dictionary

I use this app almost every day, mostly for translating words I don’t know from Romance and Germanic languages into English. It is amazingly useful, both with general definitions and usage and some country- or region-specific ones. It often has very good examples for context. The one thing I wish it had is etymological information, or at least links to sources for specific languages. But except for that, I find it superb!

I didn’t realize how important Word Reference was to me until it somehow disappeared from my phone this morning. (I just reinstalled it.) I study Italian on Duolingo and find this app incredibly helpful hoth for finding definitions and for seeing how the word is used with the examples it gives. I can easily switch from English-Italian to Italian-English, and I have many other language dictionaries at my fingertips. It is also my go-to for English, whether I need a definition or a synonym. Word Reference is the best overall dictionary app I have found. I can’t live without it! Thanks to the developers for doing such a great job.

I love Word Reference as a platform, but their app is a bit lacking. TL;DR - they need to add a share feature and the ability to navigate back and forth between word listings and related forum links. There's no working "back" button to use when you click on a forum link from a word listing and want to return to the listing - you need to search for the word again and scroll back down to the bottom of the listing. It's tedious and clunky. There's also no "share" option to send word listings or forum posts. The only way I've found to do this is to use a web browser instead. For quickly translating a word the Word Reference app is fine, and their depth of technical terms and specialized vocabulary for translation is unmatched in my experience. But any time I want to read multiple forum listings for a word, or share anything with someone else I just use my web browser instead, which totally defeats the purpose of having the app.
