Being a writer and editor, I often need to verify words or determine their origins. This app is the best I've found, so it'll be my constant tool for my work.

click write\\WriTan? OldSaxon\\OSp i want a more complete oed encyclopedia of etymology set. especifically complete citations. happy to have dates and word parts. not a complete list of oed words. yet best word study dictionary of all except for a few subarticle essays "American Heritage Dictionary" & WordOfDay History Webster.~ Etymology, Maps, Categorical Census, are most important education concepts if to understand meaning of business exchangea and history.there is a bug in the widget, keep getting Error message saying loading failed. please fix
`I expected more. Very short entries with minimum etymology. Lots of abbreviations, like they had limited space for each word. The "Oxford" gives it some authority but I feel there's a lot more they could add. I could not find "espresso". Is it not english language enough?`,it's not as good as I expected..I uninstalled it after 5 minutes... I want to read about word origins and this said it explains that but it actually doesn't from what I seen! very disappointed. also too many ads..I clicked one by mistake, one click and it almost cost me 8.50 as my card details saved to Google play were suddenly there! Not safe in my opinion."
