I had to get a new Apple device and a new iCloud so I lost my old Oxford English deluxe dictionary access. So I repurchased it it’s worth every cent even underpriced in my mind for how much depth and richness it contains of the historical English. If you can purchase this it will greatly enhance your historical English even in this current modern day, modern day English with other dictionaries are not worth it we want to preserve the integrity of English and its history plus you have an advantage you can hear the word pronounced on the app choose this specific Oxford dictionary it functions well for years and will help you understand your daily speech and others. You will be able to understand others speech and what they mean even correct them for many use words they don’t know it’s true meaning and sense it’s used in. I own many dictionaries but this is my favorite English dictionary I am very thankful for it and it’s producers. Their is way more to this app than I’ve mentioned take me at my word purchase this as your English dictionary! I wish you all well!
I bought this app in the beginning of 2022 it was having bad problems when I first got it but ever since then no problems at all whatsoever whatever they did they fixed the app crashing problem. The new update is really cool they added the AI to the selection of choices. I use this dictionary daily it is very useful it gives the root word meaning of where the word came from in its original language. I highly recommend this app your getting more than your moneys worth.
This was the best purchase! I reference the dictionary and thesaurus on a regular basis for almost everything. I love having the ability to better utilize language.
Twice in recent weeks the app became completely unusable displaying a ‘total failure’ message upon opening it. Fortunately the developers fixed that bug both times within ten days.
Thank you for Fixing the total failure issue. It’s working again. Special thank you to the developers for keeping up with the changes required to maintain the app. This is still the best dictionary in the App Store.
As other reviewers have experienced, I paid in full but app crashes with “Total Failure” error message and is unusable.
I paid $25 for this app, and now for some reason, it is completely unusable on new iPad Mini with iPadOS 16.2
After the update, I am back to rating this app A+++++. I use multiple dictionaries in my daily life as well as many app based reference books. Having these enormous books at my fingertips in a portable device is a real help. There’s nothing more satisfying than to find ALL the information I need without hauling out weighty tomes. Of course, the content is magnificent as anyone would expect from Oxford! Thanks very much to the developers for fixing the issues that I was having. I really appreciate the work that you have put into this app.
Version 8.8 crashes pointing to Search Tab. Essentially, App is now worthless.
