I am now using "The Free Dictionary" by Farlex, which I like much better. It has an offline mode (downloads the dictionary to your device).

You know, while I'm not opposed to the idea of targeted ad-ware--I'll let the sponsors pay for the stuff rather than me, and if I'm going to see ads, they might as well be relevant ads-- I doubt the words I look up in a dictionary would give any sort clue as to ads I'd want to see. For example, if I look up a word from a book I'm reading, it's likely because I have NO interest in the topic, and that's why I haven't seen the word before.
