American Heritage Desk

No matter how well you have mastered the English language, you are still going to need an English dictionary once in a while. There was a time when people used to buy heavy paper dictionaries for their needs. Thanks to apps such as American Heritage Desk, you can look up words on your iPad without having to carry a large, heavy book with you all the time. American Heritage Desk contains a ton of definitions, tips, and photographs to help users understand the words they look up easier.

American Heritage Desk is perfect for those of you who need a reference for English on your tablet. It makes looking up words easy. Over 70,000 entries are included in it. Entries are combined with usage guidance and photographs. Synonyms, etymologies, and other useful information can be accessed within this application. American Heritage Desk has zoomable graphics. The look-up feature is fast and saves you time looking up words you are not too sure about.

We would love to see pronunciations added to this app. This tool is easy to use and does have a respectable number of entries. It has the potential to be a whole lot better though. Adding photos and videos can only enhance this app. Still, this can prove helpful for anyone looking for a reference book for the English language.
