Dictionary - Merriam-Webster is a reference app for checking word meanings, spelling, pronunciation, and related vocabulary. It suits students, writers, language learners, and anyone who wants a quick American English reference on an Android phone or tablet. Alongside definitions, the app includes a built-in thesaurus with synonyms and contextual examples to help you choose a more precise word.
The main search tool helps when you know a word but are unsure of its spelling. Voice search lets you say the word instead, while audio pronunciations provide a spoken guide for unfamiliar terms. Definitions are supported by example usage, making it easier to see how a word works in a sentence rather than reading an isolated meaning.
For users who want more than occasional lookups, the app includes vocabulary quizzes and word-focused activities. Search history and favorites make it easier to return to terms you have already studied. Core definitions and synonyms are available offline, while some additional material, including audio and illustrations, may require an internet connection.
Developed by Merriam-Webster Inc., the app is listed in Books & Reference. It has a rating of about 3.7 out of 5 from more than 526,000 reviews and records 50,000,000+ installs. The free experience is ad-supported, which may be noticeable during longer reading or study sessions, but the broad dictionary and thesaurus coverage makes it a practical everyday reference.
