User Reviews for Terminology Dictionary

best app of its kind

been using this app since version 1.0 – in fact, I was their first customer believe it or not. for this reason, I thought it would be unethical to post a review since I had an unfair advantage over most people: I’ve been able to use this app a lot longer than them and therefore would have more to say about it.as you can tell, it’s very difficult to write a meaningful review anymore. the whole notion defies logic these days. so here’s the deal: you can try this app out and see if it does what you hope it can do, or just walk away now and forget about it entirely.whatever you do—

Plenty of information

I like this app cause you don’t have to search pretty much anywhere else for alternative meanings, and well, pretty much anything else. Want to look up a movie title, or maybe an obscure definition that ends up being on urban dictionary (and completely not what you thought it meant, haha) then all you need is this app and add some actions to it. I do have to say that I’ve found quite a few of the more specific meanings and a lot of the example sentences a little dark. Maybe it’s just me, ha. Other than that, it’s a wonderful app to have!! I’d recommend it to anyone.

Terminology

Terminology seems to be a well sourced resource for those who are interested in exploring the various meaning of a word or words. Whether it be its specific definition, the root parts of the term or its connotation to other related terms Terminology works to provide the user with an answer. The extended functionality is what makes this application even more beneficial as it can be used in conjunction with the Clipboard platform as well as other iOS apps and well known services such as Wikipedia. The design is simple yet effective in presenting a canvas for one to visualize.

Great WordNet resource

Terminology is based on the WordNet database. I’m not aware if WordNet is available in any other app but this one provides good access to it.The thing that makes this so valuable, though, is that it provides one-stop shopping to other resources. You can check out Webster’s, etymology, etc. from other web-based dictionary resources from within the app. Some words, particularly “street” or “urban” words, can have widely differing meanings depending on which source you use. This app lets you check various sources.

> search variations definition variations when you customize the web links integrated in the app!

April 16, 2021I saw the option to review﹠felt compelled to contribute my thoughts. I installed Terminology in 2018﹠I use it throughout every day. In all sincerity, Terminology changed my life. I learned quickly that the app could be beneficial to my work. Once I setup the customizable links, my research was leaps﹠bounds ahead of prior weeks...I finished my tasks quicker﹠was more effective overall: mostly due to the customizable link feature that’s integrated in the app —it’s basically an extremely helpful shortcut, it eliminates the need to switch between multiple apps, or between Safari﹠Terminology...everything can be searched in Terminology without constant switching between app-apps﹠app-Safari or even app-notes app, it’s all eliminated when you use Terminology’s custom web links﹠the dictionary notes that you can edit on every single word you search. I’ve not seen any other app that even comes close to resembling Terminology, in its respective category, or even one of its features. 1) Is Terminology worthy of an install?? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━YES!!

Reliable developer.

I bought this app about 2 years ago. However, I haven't used it because of lacking free storage (sadly, my phone has small memory. ), so I haven't noticed it has been changed to freemium. I was pretty shocked and sent an inquiry mail to developer. This developer always answers pretty fast... and also the developer gave me full explanation. I was touched little bit ;) When I buy an app, the sustainability of app is really important because some developers usually give up their app after few years. I think this developer has big responsibility on this app.Thanks, developer and thanks for the great app. I recommend you to use it☺️

I can't use it anymore

I got this app through Starbucks. I loved exploring words and phrases and learning how to use language more precisely. But now the Developer has folded in pestering ads that intrude and disrupt my train of thought as I try to leap through the skyscrapers of words and their meanings. The ads are annoying and I can't remember my inspiration when they block my path.I'm deleting sadly because the app no longer works for me. It was a wonderful experience while it lasted.

Bestest ever

I like the Oxford on macOS dictionary and all. Terminology, however, is absolutely my favorite reference because of the way it doesn’t only give you the definition you’re looking for, it actually helps you to know it’s the right word you need and if not, where to find it.I *had* to add Terminology dictionary to my Mac also (visit their web site to get it and see how).Love this app. Even though removing adverts from the free version isn’t something I felt any urge to do, I upgraded to the “Pro” version for no reason other than to support this developer as they are on the ball. Upgrade to iOS 11? Yep, there’s a Terminology for that.

Not Accurate {read: dishonest?}

The definitions are not sourced from a sober reliable source like Merriam-Webster or Oxford. They come from Princeton University’s WordNet Lexical database. The words in this database are written by WordNet’s lexicographers—BIASED lexicographers perhaps. If you read definitions for words like “progressive” or “conservative” and then compare those definitions and synonyms to said sober sources, you will notice quite a difference. Dictionaries are supposed to be objective reference books and not a setting for individuals to weight the focus of a definition toward ones personal world view. That’s dishonest. Now Agile Tortoise might be basically honest programmers who, focused on the machinery of making an elegant app, did not consider the purity of their source. But as any programmer knows, garbage in, garbage out. This tool is passing through some garbage from WorldNet, which has some of ITS source from a common lexicon from New York University called COMLEX. So it is unclear where the pollution entered the system. It could have been a dishonest NYU student who put a personal touch in while working on the project, who knows. But you can see how disinformation slips in in large complicated systems where people are too busy to proctor the details. Just be forewarned to take some of these definitions with a grain of salt. This is no “American Heritage” dictionary.

Excellent user experience

The usability of this app is way better than the other options for dictionary apps in the App Store. Really like that the search text is displayed at the bottom of the screen for easy access with your thumb (just like the new Safari tabs). Also really like that I can quickly get access to other definitions with Apple Lookup, Google, or Wikipedia. This means I’m also have easy access to picture representations. All in all these features make the app fast to use. 💯
