Chambers is the single-volume international English dictionary with the widest coverage of all the riches of the English language. Clear, accurate and occasionally witty definitions, with the latest new words from science, technology and contemporary culture. This 13th Edition reflects the changes in our language, with special attention paid to new words that have emerged, new uses of old words and the most up-to-date pronunciation. The 13th Edition includes over 260,000 distinct words, compounds, phrases and derived forms. The intelligent word entry suggests possible correct spellings as you type, as well as listing words that sound the same or are often confused. Search features include: - Alphabetical listing - Spelling suggestions - Sounds-like and often-confused - Fast pattern-matching search (*, ?, vowel and consonant) - Filter search results by noun, verb, adjective, adverbs - Customize search options (case, derived forms, etc) - Anagrams There are also standard bookmark, recent word and random word features. No Internet connection is required, and it supports Split View and Slide over for use with other apps on iPad. 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. 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. Chambers Thesaurus is also available as a separate app, and can easily be cross-referenced from the dictionary. Our WordWeb, Chambers, Collins and Oxford dictionaries are also available separately for Windows and Mac desktop.}

I chose to share an entry via the messages app. I used the “Copy to clipboard” sharing feature. The resulting text was unusable, full of character encoding defects.

It’s nice when something works well, even down to small details - I like how when re-activating the app by unlocking the phone, it goes back (from a previous look-up) to an empty search box so you can immediately type in a word. This only seems to happen on the iPhone app though, not on the iPad app…

As a lover of the Chambers physical dictionary, which I particularly rely on for crosswords, I held off from buying this for a long time, confused by the strange mixture of reviews, and the price. But I am so glad I bought this. Seems to have everything the physical Chambers has, and in many ways is easier to use; the multiple meanings are laid out more clearly than in the book! And the price is cheaper than the physical book was, so I’m delighted that I finally took the chance! The only thing I have so far found missing compared with the book are some of the odd sections at the end, like “Some first names”.

I have use paper versions of Chambers dictionaries for 60 years and they improve with every edition. This iPad version is superb; comprehensive and easy to use. Contains many words not in the OED which makes it indispensable when doing crosswords with its anagram and missing letters functions alongside the word definitions. Also useful for Scrabble players. As a registered owner of the hard-back paper version, a separate subscription to this App was waived. Highly recommended.

I’ve had this dictionary (and the thesaurus) since the app first appeared, and I use it all the time. I’m posting this review now because I realise I’ve never thanked the developers for this product I take so much for granted - thank you. Other apps come and go but this is one of the fixtures on my iPhone and iPad. Shame it won’t do for Scrabble, but as a (very occasional!) crossword helper it’s excellent. Long may it continue.

The app works fine. Unfortunately, it now seems to have been renamed ‘Chambers’ instead of ‘[Chambers] Dictionary’, which means you can’t find and launch it by searching for the word ‘dictionary’ in the iOS search tool. You have to search for the word ‘Chambers’ instead, which makes no sense at all.

I love this dictionary and this app. Unfortunately this app will sniff your clipboard and potentially read private data. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Clear, concise, and occasionally hilarious, the Chambers is the best English dictionary in existence. I’ve bought it in several forms over the years and this app does it justice.

OS 14 appears to have broken this app and the Thesaurus. Any advice?
