Wordflex Touch Dictionary 2.0: Everything There Is To Know About A Word - Published on 04/01/15

London-based independent developer, Robert Scheiner today announces Wordflex Touch Dictionary 2.0, a major update to his popular word reference guide for iPad. Aside from providing a dictionary and thesaurus based on quality content from the Oxford University Press, Wordflex uses mind-maps to show a word, its synonyms, syntax, definitions and much more. It also provides voice pronunciations, images, and rich sharing capabilities - truly intuitive and comprehensive for word lovers and learners.

London, United Kingdom - Independent developer, Rober Scheiner today is proud to announce the release of Wordflex Touch Dictionary 2.0, a major update to his popular dictionary and thesaurus app for iPad devices. Developed specifically to leverage the iPad's unique capabilities and interface, Wordflex is an offline word referencing guide based on quality content from the Oxford University Press. Since 2012, AppStore users have been raving about its unique features, and based on a careful two year review of user feedback, the new Wordflex is now aimed at even faster performance and better functionality. Besides the all new iOS 8.0 based interface, the updated dictionary content and the ability to share high-resolution posters, there are dozens of smaller improvements that existing users will feel immediately.

Its intuitive and interactive approach provides users with a mind-map of each English word, filled with various associations like synonyms, antonyms, syntax, origins, definitions under various contexts, phonetic pronunciations, and even slang usage and occasional illustrations. With ease of one finger, the touch-screen app allows users to manipulate word trees, unlock content at will and share the latest language with friends as a collective adventure. There are over 2 million "mind-nodes" within its installation and any result can be easily bookmarked or shared with friends, family, colleagues, students or other word lovers via social media, email, or a high-resolution word poster print.

Wordflex is perfect for writers, students, teachers building visuals for lesson plans, English learners, or even children with learning disabilities. Rebecca Simon, a writer for Teacherswithapps, lists Wordflex features and their benefits as "Example sentences; illustrations; and usage notes... Informal, slang and other equivalents of the word may also appear. These features are also beneficial to a child with delayed language skills as they often have difficulty with slang, sarcasm, and colloquialisms." (August 2012)

On a lighter note, Wordflex gives logophiles access to an organized archive of linguistic nirvana, while giving creatives, such as decorators, a way to bring art and meaning into a space via high-resolution print capabilities of words such as family, love, happiness, or anything else that may hold meaning.
