Version: Pocket Oxford English Dictionary and MSDict Viewer 6.2
Pros: This app is very easy to use and very good as a quick reference when you're on the go.
Cons: I just don't like how anything you cut/copy-paste on other programs gets transferred automatically to the search box of the app. Esp if you had just cut/copy a long sentence that you did not intend to search for in the dictionary.
