"As apps go, only Enfour’s American Heritage® Dictionary stands out for its graphic appeal and functionality. Although I was pleased to have so much lexical firepower in such a compact form, I was annoyed at how poorly the other dictionaries present on the platform." (4 mice)

Great

非常好用,唯一的遗憾就是单词的读音比朗文差多了,有没有可能改进啊?

不能用

原来的版本更新成此版本(6.3),不能用了(不能打开,再安装一次,干脆连图标都没有了,再到这个界面还显示为"已安装”)。没办法解决了。后开发的版本,让更新,却与原来的平台(iPad)不兼容,让人家白花钱,不应该。

好字典,差软件

American Heritage Dictionary 是相当权威和专业的英文字典,品质一流。

但是这个软件本身就不那么入流了:
1. 号称是 American Heritage + Roget's II Thesaurus 二合一,但是两本字典是分离的,单纯索引的,不能同时列出两本字典的释义。History 和 Bookmark 也同样是分离的。
2. 跳转路径只有两层:我查阅 A 的时候看到释义中的一个词 B 不认识,于是点击 B 进入 B 的释义;在 B 的释义中又有一个词 C 不认识,于是点击 C 进入 C 的释义;查阅完 C 以后点击 Back 回到 B,到这里为止就不能再返回了,回不去 A 了。
3. 通过 Search 查找到的词,无法在释义界面判断这个词是否已经加入 Bookmark,而且还能重复加入 Bookmark。
4. 无法保持当前释义界面。如果在查阅某词的释义时不小心点击到了其他 tab 页,就无法直接回到刚才的释义界面了,必须翻阅 History 或重新 Search。
5. 语音质量很差,爆破音很强。
