Dictionary

I liked features of both the Merriam Webster app and the Dictionary.com app. I will start with a few flaws. I could not use the screen turn feature of my IPAD on either of these apps. I immediately tried using this feature on other apps to see if it had something to do with my device or settings but it worked for other apps just not these two. I'm not sure if this feature is not available with these two apps or if something went wrong when downloading them. For the Merriam Webster app the font was huge and the definition and word could not be seen on one screen. This is why the definition does not appear in the screen shot. In fact the definition requires multiple screens. Both apps had a word of the day feature. The Dictionary.com app has a "Learners" feature, which explains the word in user friendly sentences for children. The Merriam Webster app did not have the "Learners" option. The Dictionary.com app also has a thesarus feature. I would have thought that the Merriam Webster app would have had a thesarus option but if it does I could not find it. The Merriam Webster app had an option to use the Ipad's microphone to say the word but rather than type it in a box but it would not detect any word that I would say. The Merriam Webster app also had a games feature for testing one's knowledge of vocabulary. I would recommend the Merriam Webster app to my school district because of the game feature and the microphone feature but the microphone feature did not work and because the size of the font made it difficult to use this app efficiently I would have to go with the Dictionary.com app.
