Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary App Reviews

this a my favourite app and i use it the most often on my iPad and iPhone , but there is a problem with the latest update , the volume of the sound is too low , i use an iPhone 4 … so i uninstalled this update and i re-installed the older version … please fix this bug ...

Ive been using it for a year and got what I expected of the publisher.

This is by far the best English dictionary app Ive ever tried. The search function is so well done that you can search words, expressions, and even examples. Both American and British Pronunciations are integrated. Its the perfect tool to learn English!

Your version 9 is brilliant ! You have deleted version 8 and we have to pay for version 9. Youve cheated us.

so far this is the best english dictionary app that i have never used ...

I would have prefered a separate app without IAP.

Nice Dict. and simple to use. It is in your hands whenever you need. It wont take 5 stars because its price.

Sometimes the meaning just vanish! Now the sound do not sound! Only if I put the earphones!

There are several error with this app. NOT WORK..... fix it...

There is no question. This is one of the best if not the best English dictionary out there. There is, however, a huge drawback in my opinion. I cant select and copy definitions of phonetics symbols there are so important when we want to explain how to pronounce certain words. I wish I could select, copy and paste some words and sentences just like I do with other dictionaries.

Right after the updating, the dictionary simply does no work. One is supposed to buy the new version.

I downloaded the app just to find out that it presents a few entries for free. If you want the real OALD you have to pay 30 buckets. Its gotta be some kind of joke.

Downloaded version 9, after purchasing version 8. Supposedly it was an update, right? Wrong: what it did was erase version 8 and try to push me to buy the dictionary again. Cannot use the app anymore. No need to say how disappointed I was to see I could no longer use the dictionary Ive puchased. Supposedly I can reinstall version 8, so good luck for me on that. So long for bona fide, now we are all about the money, no matter what, is that it? Certainly there will be lawyers to say this is perfectly legal. Such is the way things are going. When Apple and Cambridge feel it is OK to behave like that you start to wonder how far down the road weve gotten. What a shame... Oh, and sorry for any typos, you see, I couldnt use the dictionary...

The update is basically an attempt to sell the newer version. Offering the opportunity to re-download the app I already had, pretty nonsensical. The most inconvenient is that it I not downloading. So how am I supposed to use this ?

There is a problem in downloading the OALD9 Discounted Upgrade in my iPhone 6 128GB with iOS 9.3.4 and with iOS 9.3.5. It never begins the download. With my iPAD 64GB with iOS 9.3.5, It is all correct.

Excellent dictionary , growing up and improve your English , I have been studying , the best dictionary I bought

The Oxford Dictionary got into the App-Store and admittedly I like it more than the printed version, because of one simple thing: You can get Vocabulary faster and therefore its easier! And now Id like to ask one question to the developer (If you read this): The English language expands with approx. 25000 word a year, are they updated frequently and (of course) for free? Or do I have to pay every time, when you update the app with new Vocabulary? But despite the question mentioned above, the app is top 10 on my student-iPhone. Just the best dictionary app I have.

Does exactly what it promises: The OALD at your fingertips. Way better than the printed version not only because of the pronunciation sound files that come with all entries (BE/AE). No idea how I have been doing without it...

...speaker symbols are way to small! Leads to frequent mistyping.

I really like this App and use it quite often. Based on features it is a 4 to 5 stars app. What is missing is support for the iPhone 6 plus display resolution. As soon as this is supported I will increase my rating!
