When kids want to use a word in their homework, but don’t know how to spell the word, they can speak the word facing the app, the app will search the word and bring the word with the explanation to the kids. I think this is a very useful feature for kids. Voice search limits: Both apps have “Voice Search” function. However it only has one ad on each screen, and it is at the bottom of the screen. For kids, especially kids still in elementary school, this is going to be a big distraction. has two ads at the same time: one at the bottom of the screen, one at the right top corner of the screen, taking a big chunk of screen space. The main difference between paid version and the free version is running ads in the free version. Intrusive ads: Both apps have free versions. Both are pretty good, but I don’t want to load too many apps on the iPAD, so I picked Merriam-Webster (Free). After some search, Merriam-Webster Dictionary and became the top two choices. I have been trying to find a good dictionary app for my son.
