Description

BRAIN-FRIENDLY DICTIONARY - visit http://wordflex.com for a full-length video, media reviews and more.

Developed exclusively for iPad and with rich content from the Oxford University Press, this fun, fascinating tool offers a truly engaging reference for word lovers of all ages and interests. By using your fingers to manipulate word trees, you will experience language as an interactive adventure, and will find information quickly and easily.


Wordflex is the tool of choice for:

• Writers looking for just the right word to add meaning to their text.
• Students who want learning to be more fun, exciting and viral.
• Teachers building visuals for lesson plans.
• Crosswords and word games fanatics.
• Word nerds and logophiles digging deep into linguistic complexities.
• Artists and decorators looking for ways to bring art and meaning into a space (via high-resolution output capabilities).


Great Use for Even the Base Price

Base price allows you to explore full mind-maps of 5 unique words per day and share them via social media. For more serious learners, writers, and logophiles, ‘linguistic nirvana’ can be reached by unlocking the Full version: for a small fee this removes all quotas and adds sharing of high-resolution word posters via email, print and the photo library (owners of any previous paid version are not required to pay again).


6th Year on the AppStore

• Featured in ‘New & Noteworthy’, ‘What's Hot’, ‘Back to School’ and even ‘iPad's App of the Week’.

OUTSTANDING!

I consider this app to be perhaps the most important single piece of software I own. All the other apps have at least several competitors that can do much the same things, but this app has no competition. I am an author who spends most of my workday in either writing my own materials or editing and rewriting material for others. At least six or eight or even ten times a day every day I use this app and love it. It has made it so much easier to find just the right word, making the process of getting the exact shade of meaning much, much faster.

Mark Twain once famously said, "The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug." With this app I get the right word!

The essential creative writers tool

Having this tool in my creative writers kit has made my success build and grow since its first version. Mind Maps, planning, building training systems would not be useful, for me, in my line of work without Wordflex. An intelligent, erudite and innovative tool.
Think with it, expand what connects, keep going deeper than you knew before. Bringing you closer to the truth than any other word play App, at least the many I have tried, can produce for you. Nothing left to say but a sincere thank you WordFlex.

The Writer's Savior

If you have ever been stuck trying to find the perfect word, then this is the program for you. Let's say that you are looking for a word that means "to help," but that just doesn't capture the full essence of what you are trying to say. Type in "help" in the search box, and watch a plethora of substitute and nuanced versions of that word appear. The perfect word will be there. Select it, and it will illuminate the full meaning you were trying to convey.
