Macmillan English Dictionary is available as an app for iPhone, iPod, or iPad. In collaboration with DW Education, we have developed a suite of apps covering both British and American English.

These apps will give you immediate access to definitions, phonetics, pronunciation and synonyms, plus the unique Macmillan English Dictionary red-star system indicating frequency of word usage for the most common words in English. In addition, the highly-interactive interface allows you to cross-search for the definitions of other words and to create your own wordlists.

All Apps are available from the Apple App store.
