The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDOCE, ロングマン現代英英辞典) is Longman’s flagship learner’s dictionary, built for advanced students of English who want to understand how the language is really used. This app edition puts the full dictionary on iPhone and iPad, together with an integrated thesaurus and collocations dictionary.
Its definitions are written using a controlled vocabulary of just 2,000 common words, so even difficult entries stay easy to understand. Examples come from the Longman Corpus Network, showing natural, real-world English rather than invented sentences, and the 3,000 most frequent words in spoken and written English are highlighted so learners know which vocabulary to prioritise. Register notes explain the differences between spoken and written usage.
Running on Enfour’s UniDict® engine, the app also links smoothly with other compatible dictionaries and apps, making it a strong hub for serious English study.
