Have just bought a new piece of kit. Frustratingly, Chambers Crossword Dictionary for iOS no longer seems to available - I used it a lot

What apps would others recommend ?

I try to do the Listener, AZED and EV
Thanks

Hi William,
The Chambers dictionary and thesaurus apps for Mac work really well on an iPad. I use them every day. I think you can get the two as a bundle relatively cheaply.
There was a thread recently when we discussed the pros and cons of the different software solutions, but for iPad I think this is the best

Hi
I`ve recently treated myself to a HP Chromebook - it has a 14" screen - I`ve installed Chambers Dictionary & Thesaurus apps on it.
It`s very nice to use and I can print out the results easily - I baulked at selling my soul to `google` but am pleased with it - my eyes aren`t great nowadays so I struggle with a phone screen!

I just had a quick look at the App Store. The Chambers Dictionary and Thesaurus are both there.

The Chambers Dictionary app resolves anagrams and has a range of search options for words where you have some crossers. The Chambers annexes (used quite a bit by Listener and EV setters) are also available via the help tab. It’s been my vade mecum for Listener, EV and Azed puzzles for a long time.

Thanks for these reply. I have transferred the Chambers Dictionary and the Thesaurus. However the one that wouldn't transfer was the Chambers Crossword Dictionary which was a real gem. Sadly it seems it has been discontinued as an App for Apple.

Any other suggestions would be very welcome. What other applications do solvers use?

I have the Chambers app on my phone and iPad, but I bought the print Crossword Dictionary. It's a combination that works for me.
