<p><strong>WARNING: Do not believe the App Store.</strong><br>
I looked up 现代汉语词典 in the Commercial Press's homepage, and only found it available in hard copy. The Commercial Press also publishes apps, but as you can see, it doesn't develop one for 现代汉语词典.<br>

Yes I read the answer as well, but my question is not about which dictionary is the best but *can I use the 现代汉语词典 in non-paper version as well?". The first app calls itself as such but does this cover the same as what the paper-version offers?

Welcome! The OP is asking for an *authoritative* dictionary. Could you improve your answer by adding what would you say that makes Baidu's online dictionary authoritative?

<p>现代汉语词典 seems to be the de facto standard for Chinese dictionaries. Some users here use it as well. But it seems only possible for the paper version.</p>

<p>But I might miss something. Is it possible to use it outside of its paper version, such as online or app? I searched for it on the App Store, but seems that there are too many results and I don't know which is the correct one (actually all of them don't seem to be official ones...). Also I really hate it if I purchase an app but later found some words are missing.</p>

<p>Or is it only available on the paper-version?</p>

@Blaszard I saw someone mentioned Pleco below, on their products list you can see they have https://store.pleco.com/products.php?ios=1 
`Xiandai Hanyu Guifan Cidian - $29.99
Chinese-Chinese dictionary with 71,000 entries, featuring detailed / explanation-rich definitions; recommended only for advanced students.` and `Xiandai Hanyu Dacidian - $19.99 (version 3 only)
Chinese-Chinese dictionary with 110k entries`. I can tell you I bought *Guifan* when the second edition was out, when the third edition came out Pleco updated it for free without any extra fees.
