Dictionary - Merriam-Webster

Dictionary - Merriam-Webster is an English-language reference app designed for Android devices. It is intended for English learners and anyone who wants to check meanings, expand vocabulary, or study word usage. The app is listed in the Reading & Writing category because its main purpose is language reference and vocabulary development. Its license in the catalog is demo trial.

Definitions and synonyms remain available offline, while illustrations, audio pronunciations, and voice search require an internet connection. Users can search for words by voice, read a Word of the Day, and take vocabulary-building quizzes. An integrated thesaurus provides more than 200,000 word choices with examples of their use, and example sentences help show words in context. Audio pronunciations are provided by English speakers, and users can save favorite words and review search history. Favorites can also be synced between devices, while tablet users can browse the dictionary through a scrolling index.

The app is available free with advertising, with a subscription offered to remove ads. Additional vocabulary-building resources are available through an in-app purchase. These options give the product a mix of reference, study, and ongoing vocabulary practice functions within the Android Reading & Writing category.

MirrorNest links directly to the official release instead of mirroring the application. The catalog therefore serves as a way to locate the Android product while directing installation and access through its official distribution source. The demo trial label describes how the release is classified in the catalog, while the app’s own availability and optional purchases are handled through that official release.

Free to use — a paid version with additional features is also available.
