Hey guys, I came across a few apps which are free at the moment:
Cambridge's Business English Dictionary
and
English Thesaurus
A Thesaurus is a special kind of dictionary which gives you synonyms (words with the same or similar meaning) and antonyms (words with the opposite meaning). They're great ways to boost your vocabulary. These apps seem to only be free for a limited time so if you use apple products, download them now~!
