There are different ways to check a word meaning with your Windows Phone device. You can look up for words with an online translator such as ‘Bing Translator’ or use some of the dictionaries available in the marketplace. Advanced English Dictionary is probably the best one we’ve found for Windows smartphones, as it contains more than 400 000 entries, has a modern interface, you don’t need an internet connection and the app costs nothing to download and use.

The database is stored in the phone, so all words are accessible offline including pronunciation in UK and US accents. Advanced English Dictionary offers also:

• Words relation
• Today’s words
• Picture gallery
• Recent words
• You can star words
• Database of irregular verbs
• Sample sentences
• Precise definitions of the word

You can also set a startup page (search or today), use transparent tile and specify what the live tile shows you.

Advanced English Dictionary is a free app (27MB). Grab it from the link below.
