App front-end for the iOS 5 built-in dictionary

[mattraehl]

Just found an app today that is simple and fantastic. I got tired of typing a word into Notes to look up the definition and figured someone must have done this. It's nothing more than a front-end for the built-in dictionary in iOS 5. A search box, live suggestions while typing, and a history of words you've looked up. Great idea that's been perfectly executed. Free, .1 MB download, no Ads, launches instantly. Perfect.

Sadly, this app is nowhere to be found in the US App Store. Have looked for such an app many times, ever since the built-in dictionary was added to iOS. Why Apple hasn't provided a front-end app for the iOS dictionary is beyond me.

Launch Centre Pro has a built-in dictionary tool. Use it quite often. Quite handy. Tap on the icon to bring up a prompt, type in the word and tap to define it.
