Chambers Thesaurus at Mac App Store analyse

I was rather surpised Apple had not included this app in their “Apps for Writers.” Not only is the app elegant in a simple, understated way, it is so incredibly functional. It is easy to use. It does exactly what it says it will do. I can think of so many that don’t. I realize that thesauri aren’t a part of normal conversation, but I will say Chambers Thesaurus is my most frequently used app. I thought it deserved a little recognition or some applause. Alas, I believe my little party celebrating the app would be limited to its developers (good job!), the content folks (likely to be editors from the print side moonlighting in the exciting world of tech), and maybe the marketing team (likely concerned about the placement of the icon). Well, I toast you all. This app is defintely a great buy and I hope one day soon our little soirée requires cases of Madame Clicquo’s finest.

Best thesaurus I’ve found for the Mac. Simple, easy to use, no bloat. I wish this could be loaded as the default system thesaurus, and I would love for the service menu item to be turned on by default.

I have been using applications by WordWeb for years, and they serve their purposes very well.

Apples Mac OS X Dictionary already includes Oxford American Writers Thesaurus with 300,000 synonyms and 10,000 antonyms so casual users probably dont need the Chambers version, but for those wanting a more in-depth expanded thesaurus will find it a worthwhile addition. A search in Apples built in dictionary/thesaurus: mist noun the mist was clearing: haze, fog, smog, murk, cloud, drizzle. ------------------------------------------------------ A search in Chamber: mist noun haze, fog, vapor, smog, cloud, murk, condensation, film, spray, drizzle, mizzle, dew, steam, veil, dimness mist over/up cloud over, become cloudy, become hazy, fog (up), dim, blur, become blurred, steam up, obscure, veil, glaze Antonyms: clear ----------------------------------------- You can use the Chambers Thesaurus as a stand alone app, but if you have Word Web pro or Oxford Dictionary of English installed they will cross reference each other (useful). I wish WordWeb would integrate Apples dictionary into their products. It is frustrating to have 2 separate dictionary/thesaurus systems you have to flip between. Apples interface is hands down better, but when you are hunting for words WordWebs products have additional functionality that word fans need. If youre still reading this review - My favorite thesaurus of all time is ThinkMaps Visual Thesaurus. Sadly they dont sell the stand alone Mac version anymore, just a web version (useful for visual creative marketing types).

Truth be told, the standard issue Apple Dictionary/Thesaurus app contains far more word options than the Chambers Thesaurus. Its quite shocking.

I have used the print version of this Thesaurus for years. Although Im in the US its always been one of the resources I have reached for first. Im glad its now available for the Mac. I also bought WordWeb and Chambers dictionary. The three apps plug into each other for cross referencing. Together they make the most powerful linguistic tool on my Mac. Highly recommend it.
