Good Dictionary But Needs Tweaking
This dictionary is a cost effective and valuable addition to my Apps. It also has Word Skill games and daily articles aimed at increasing ones knowledge that make it a very nice dictionary indeed.
However, while I love using this dictionary, sometimes I am frustrated by going to one word only to be directed to another word and then be redirected to yet another word.
Also, the references they provide often do not lend any help towards the meaning given:
For example: When I looked up "ami" the dictionary gave me the meaning "a male friend" without any mention of its origins. In addition, the "References in Periodicals Archive" gave me this: By licensing the ARM7TDMI microprocessor core and the ARM922T microprocessor core, AMIS will be able to offer its customers the ability to translate ARM7TDMI core-based FPGA designs and ARM922T core-based FPGA designs to AMIS ASICs by using its highly developed FPGA-to-ASIC conversion capability."
How on Earth does the above relate to the meaning given? It doesnt, of course. For those trying to learn any new word, the reference section is often confusing and frustrating.
Dont get me wrong. I consider this dictionary very valuable to increasing my knowledge and keeping up the skills I already have. I also enjoy the low cost ad-free version.
It just needs some attention to detail and tweaking to make even better.
