Browsary

Very simple Web browser with (kind of) Thesaurus feature

It is a web browser which allows users to select a word when browsing website and automatically get some information about it, such as synonyms, antonyms, etc. It gets that information from the Big Huge Thesaurus API. Free (and fair) use of this API is limited to 1000 words per day.

App compatible with Android 4.0.3 or more (Ice Cream Sandwich - API 15)

Features

Each time you select an English word on a website, you will instantly get some information about it, which is particularly convenient for non-native English reader who wants to improve their reading skill in this language

If your Android version device is 4.3 or below (Jelly Bean - API 18), you will have to click on the copy icon after selection to get the information
