Ratings and Reviews
Good value
The app is convenient and fast, and contains the entire text of the Shorter OED - a huge reference work - searchable by headword, wildcard search, or as a full text search (search "cheese" and find all listings with "cheese" in the definition). It's good value for the price. The software can also be expanded to add the Chamber's Dictionary and Thesaurus. Chambers is not well known in North America, but it is a popular and well established dictionary in Britain, famous for it ssometimes witty definitions, and has a few listings that even Oxford misses. A few bugs in searches that occasionally popped up in previous versions seem to have been fixed in the latest version.
Shorter OED- Quibbles
Lack of synonyms and Thesaurus is major inconvenience. Latest update allow you go get dinged for a thesaurus by someone else.
Sticky Wicket- And colour should always have a U in OED wheteher shorter or not. Paucity of reviews says something , I know not what-
c'mon Oxford step up to the verbal plate-
Need a table of abbreviations and a pronunciation table
We need a table of abbreviations and a pronunciation table. This app should include the introductory and explanatory pages from the dictionary, so that the user can do a thorough review of a definition.
