Long gone are the days when you’d need to keep a dictionary in your house. No more CD-ROM dictionari­es bundled with every computer. Nope, we’ve got the web now – so why would you want a dictionary app?

Well, if it’s LookUp, it’s the same reason you’d get one of those “Word of the Day” desk calendars: for pure fun. Every day, there’s a new word for you to learn, ranging from words like “piebald” to “beey” and almost everything in between. With each word of the day, you get a cute illustrati­on which gets placed on the opening page. This is a fantastic way to learn a new word and see a bit of artwork to help you remember what the word means. Each word of the day stays on the front page, adding to your collection of them that you can view at any point.

Of course, it’s also a functional dictionary that offers you definition­s of words, and has basic thesaurus capabiliti­es that allow you to look up synonyms. LookUp even allows you to get word definition­s in other apps using the standard share/action bar.

Whether you’re a lover of words or someone who needs a little help boosting their vocabulary, we highly suggest checking out LookUp. It’s great for anyone of any age, and we think that most people will soon become addicted to their daily new word. the bottom line. We love LookUp; it’s a great way to boost your vocabulary every day.
