What the Oxford Dictionary & Thesaurus app contains
The app bundles 18 Oxford dictionaries: 5 monolingual dictionaries of English and 13 bilingual dictionaries. The content comes from Oxford Languages. The listing says the English dictionary holds more than 1 million words, phrases and definitions, and names students, teachers, writers and professionals as the intended readers.
In practice, it is a reference app for looking up a word and reading what it means, how it is used, and where it came from. A search returns the entry, and the thesaurus and translation dictionaries sit alongside it in the same app.
Looking up English word meanings and grammar
Each English entry gives a definition with example sentences, plus idioms and phrases that use the word. The grammar notes show the part of speech, verb patterns and usage labels, so a reader can see how a word fits into a sentence.
Entries also show phonetic spelling and mark British and American usage where the two differ. The English dictionaries include etymology, which traces where a word came from.
Finding synonyms and antonyms for writing
The Oxford thesaurus lists synonyms and antonyms for a word. This is the part of the app aimed at writers who want an alternative word or a contrasting one.
The thesaurus sits in the same app as the dictionaries, so a reader can move from a definition to a list of alternatives without leaving it.
Translating words between English and 13 languages
The 13 bilingual dictionaries translate words between English and 13 other languages. Each bilingual dictionary is a separate entry in the 18-dictionary set, so the language pair a reader needs determines which one they open.
Translation covers single words and short entries. The listing does not describe sentence or document translation.
Building vocabulary, pronunciation and exam prep
A Word of the Day feature sends a new word each day, and the listing says it is available in multiple languages. Pronunciation of British and American English by native speakers is marked Premium, as is offline use of the dictionaries.
The listing's summary also names IELTS and TOEFL preparation as a use for the app, alongside vocabulary building and synonyms.
What's new
* Offline voice search in more languages – Look up words by voice without an internet connection when using languages other than English.
