    5.0 out of 5 stars Thesaurus on the Kindle Fire: Handy for when you need it
    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    This Thesaurus app for the Kindle Fire and the Kindle Fire HD is a good one. Despite it's white-on-white upper case 'T' icon that's difficult to see here, it's a worthy consideration when you need to take a word search a bit deeper.

    Granted that the Kindle Fire devices have a decent way to check the spelling for the words that you may enter, in its native form you have no way of looking for that similar, alternative word that might fit your needs a bit better. As a reference work for basic needs in grouping words together according to similarity of meaning, and containing synonyms and often antonyms, this is an app that works well.

    At less than 180KB, it's a fast download, and once installed, you'll find its interface easy to use and quite intuitive. It also keeps a history of the words that you've looked up.

    The Thesaurus app for the original Kindle Fire or the Kindle Fire HD series is recommended for wordsmiths of all ages, and the price is quite reasonable for all it does.

    This app is not the best. It doesn't work without wifi and it doesn't have good synonyms or alternatives for words. It also has bad format and the app costs money. If you want a good Thesaurus, I would not recommend this one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent easy to use full featured thesaurus
    Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    The media could not be loaded.
    First, yes, the app does require internet connection to operate, but with WIFI becoming so readily available in restaurants, coffee shops and hotels, and many cell phone users having unlimited data minutes, internet connection should not be a deterrent to a useful tool.

    I attached the video so that you determine for yourself if the product is for you or not. The interface is clean and professional, without gimmicks, adds or distractions. Simplicity and instant information often so much better than clicking through an insanity of menus just for visual appeal.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Best
    Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This is one item everyone should have. There are times you need a different word to explain or express what you are saying in more detail. This is it. I love it. Even if you only use it several times a year. you'll be glad you had it.
    Highly recommend to all. Plus the price was right!!
    Get it and you won't be disappointed.

    This little app has one in very handy when I'm writing lyrics and don't want to keep using the same word over and over again. Also, now I know a thesaurus isn't the word for a very smart dinosaur

    This is a good app, though the list of synonyms is not exhaustive and I sometimes need to check other online sources for further options.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Useless
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 22, 2018

    Useless. A Thesaurus should give list of several (or all) possible alternatives. This has given me only ONE for each word I have looked up. Less use than a dictionary.

    this is slow reacting app which shows no added value to the free versions available. I recommend staying with the free versions.
