'The Wordflex Touch Dictionary (formerly Twig) is the next step in the evolution of the English dictionary. Developed exclusively for iPad – in association with the Oxford University Press – this fun, fascinating app offers the first truly tactile, interactive reference for word lovers of all ages.'
'Online dictionaries force users to scroll for what they want. Wordflex offers a more compelling, intuitive approach, combining structure and play to maximize learning. By manipulating word-trees physically, unlocking content at will and rearranging the onscreen ‘workspace,’ users experience language as an interactive adventure – and find what they’re looking for more quickly. DISTINCT FEATURES: • For iPad only – the ultimate dictionary for the ultimate tablet • Tree-based view with realistic physical behavior for easy navigation of complex entries • Gesture-based interaction; moving nodes around, tapping, scrolling, pinching/spreading enable strongly interactive play with words – mimicking the elemental, tactile, fun of learning language • Advanced technology, combining rich educational content with immersive experience; dynamic interface driven by a physics engine and a highly efficient, tree-structured database • Highly aesthetic UI with retina HD graphic for crystalline text and visuals • Ability to share ‘word posters’ via e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, or printed hard copy • Multiple Oxford's dictionary/thesaurus titles in one app • Direct expansion of word nodes allowing jumping from one tree to another • Complete audio pronunciations in U.K./U.S. English; tailor-made illustrations • Content-rich (nearly 1GB) installation – no network needed to use (except for sharing) • Flexible search with matches, hints, relatives and real-life sentences • Smart bookmarking marks exact point of interest • Bird's-eye auto-zooming/centering • Smart-expansion feature keeps work area tidy and offers attractive auto-unfolding of word trees • Random ‘flying through language’ feature'
