Having dictionary access at your fingertips on your Mac is undeniably convenient, whether you’re searching for the perfect word, or trying to make sense of a research assignment you’re tackling.

But having it on your iPhone is even more convenient. Whether you’re in the middle of a meeting and trying to make sense of the overzealous vocabulary that you’re snarky co-workers are using, or your tackling the latest crossword puzzle over a coffee in Starbucks, it’s info in the palm of your hand.

That’s why with the release of the free Dictionary.com app last month, we are psyched.

The Dictionary.com app provides its popular reference content that we already are familiar with, as well as the added bonus of their Thesaurus.com content, too.  It also features audio pronunciations, so when you’re prepping to hack out some strong sentences in your business luncheon at noon, you know exactly what you’re saying (sort of).

It features over 275,000 definitions, 80,000 synonyms, similarly spelled words, example sentences, word history, and more; like a little teacher, in the palm of your hand.

And because it’s free, well, there’s no reason not to get it. That would be simply injudicious.
