This is a superb iPad dictionary in my view. I tried a few free dictionaries, and the best one was the word press one. But this Chambers one is even better. It is amazing that you can get so much knowledge and history in one place for only 7.99. I only wish that when the app is booted that it would automatically clear the search field and bring up the keyboard. Its very tedious to have to type the same two or three clicks to clear the previous word and bring up the keyboard.
