New: Now the latest 5th Edition!
The Chambers Thesaurus is the perfect reference for writers and word game enthusiasts, while all lovers of language will find it a pleasure to browse through. There are nearly 40 000 distinct indexed words, and a total of about 400 000 synonyms and antonyms.
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
- Cross-reference to offline and online dictionaries
There are also standard bookmark, recent word and random word features. No Internet connection is required.
The Chambers Dictionary is also available, and can easily be cross-referenced.
Top-tier thesaurus, and the app is totally worth the price tag. However, I believe the Dictionary app should most definitely be combined with this. I'd still not hesitate to pay the combined price tag, if the reason they remain separate is to not deter people from purchasing something that's marked higher, than the higher likelihood someone choosing to buy an app labeled half price. Hope there will be a future option to incorporate both, for the seamless experience this has potential to be
For years I've used this app on various devices, but for some while on a fairly old (by modern standards) Galaxy Note 4 (Android 6.0.1). Recently, it began to crash with the message "Unfortunately, Chambers Thesaurus has stopped." Eventually, today, I uninstalled the app from my phone and re-installed it from the Play Store. All seemed satisfactory. When I opened it the first time it ran fine. Phew. Good news. I closed it and a few minutes opened it to use again and once more that message. :-(
Perfect companion to the dictionary, with all the same pros: no ridiculous ongoing fee, offline, simple. and a brilliant thesaurus to boot. I'll echo someone else's comments re integration with the other apps in the suite. It would be ideal to have these merged into a single all, or a single click-through to each other. There is integration of some sort that the moment - searching for word x can be accessed with a few click in the dictionary, eg. But its a bit clunky. Still, excellent overall.
I'm sure it's me, but I find the Chambers Dict and Thesaurus (both Pro) almost impossible to navigate without Wordweb - which is fine I suppose but everything falls apart when I need to search from online editors - which is most of the time. Integration with Twitter is good but other apps are persnickety.
