1. The integrated search features make Chambers dictionary the ideal crossword puzzle solver, as well as an extensive reference for the full range of English usage from historical novels to modern-day internet jargon.
2. The Chambers Dictionary is treasured by word-lovers and crossword enthusiasts for its majestic coverage of English and its tradition of sneaking in a sprinkling of light-hearted definitions.
3. Alone among the single-volume dictionaries, it preserves a rich stock of words from our literary heritage as well as covering all the latest developments in contemporary English.

10. The Chambers Thesaurus is also available as a separate app, and can easily be cross-referenced along with WordWeb.
1. Better etymology would be great, but not essential.I'm sure it's me, but I find the Chambers Dict and Thesaurus (both Pro) almost impossible to navigate without Wordweb - which is fine I suppose but everything falls apart when I need to search from online editors - which is most of the time.
2. I love that I can easily get to word definitions from other apps, and the x-ref feature fits very well with the Chambers Thesaurus.
3. Please re-think: this new icon just makes the app disappear into my home screen, it's so non-distinctive especially given the 5 other apps I have which are mainly just red backgrounds, but they actually have something distinctive to a glance on the backgrounds which yours does not, but the previous icon with the angled view of a book did.
4. They are a wonderful word pair well worth the cost!Really hate the new app icon - old one I recognised at a glance and it looked good; new one I have to focus on it to think what it is, and it's dull, dull, dull.
5. Integration with Twitter is good but other apps are persnickety.This is my favorite British English dictionary app.
6. In addition to the dictionary, I highly recommend the Chambers thesaurus app.
7. May well come back adn take off another star or two.For several decades, the Chambers 20th Century Dictionary was the favourite in our home.
8. Chambers dictionary and thesaurus should be one app.
9. Well worth the money.User-friendly dictionary that streamlines my lookup efforts by auto-pasting my copy-board.
10. Other than that, excellent app to use alongside wordweb.Shorter OED contains twice as many words (they say) but does not even have the widely used 'beefcake'.
11. I still want to scroll through a dictionary and study/memorize every word.
