ArkWords is a windows phone 7 app that gives the user access to an online Dictionary, Thesaurus and even a Translator all from within the single windows phone 7 app. You just need to swipe across to access each module. We are not sure where the app fetches its data from but it works really well. Of course you will need to have an active internet connection for the app to work. Some of the handy features of the WP7 app is that you can pull up the word of the day with a simple push of a button. And you can even let the app say out the word which can be very handy if you are unsure of the pronunciation. You will notice that the say button will be grayed out if read out option is unavailable for that language. We did run in to some issue with the Live Tile on Samsung Omnia 7, the developer is aware of the issue and has informed us of similar issue on the focus. If you do try it out let us know how it goes on your WP7 device.
