Hello. I use one called Wordweb. It works quite well with Voiceover. I believe it was a free app but I've had it for ages and can't remember for certain. I have it for the computer as well. As soon as I heard it was available as an app, I grabbed it. You can navigate very easily using the rotor to move between headings. Definitions are pretty good and fine for most circumstances. You can also get the Chambers Dictionary and thesaurus apps for $8 each and use them as offline references in conjunction with the Wordweb app.
Voice Dream Writer also comes with built-in dictionary and thesaurus. Haven't really dug into that app yet but I keep hearing very good things about it. Hope that helps you out.
