Redownloading problem

I don’t know what’s happening but all of sudden I have to redownload all the dictionaries. Fine, I did it, but then after a few days I have to do it again? A joke that’s not very funny I fear. I doubt it’s my problem because I know some other friends having the same problem.

There’s another problem. Why it becomes so rigid that the words that I’ve bookmarked MUST be retrieved with the dictionary I was using when I bookmarked it? For example, if I bookmark a word X when I read about X from Advanced learner’s dictionary (8e), then, strangely, without downloading Advanced learner’s dictionary (8e), I can’t open the bookmark with Advanced learner’s dictionary (9e), even presumably 9e is better than 8e (correct me if I’m wrong). After all these recent crazy changes of the app, I’m really not sure if I’m going continue my subscription after the expiration of the current one. I’ll keep an eye on how the app is going to improve (or not).

Developer Response ,

Sorry for the trouble. We have released an update to fix the redownload issue - if trouble persists, please do let us know via the app's Settings > Contact Support. Bookmarks would only be accessible from the original database as the entries have changed from 8e to 9e. Once you have the 8e database downloaded, you would be able to access all the bookmarks you have saved from 8e.

Not worth it

I paid for the dictionary but after a few years they decided discontinue to update the app with the latest IOS. And now they ask you to subscribe yearly? How many “new” words you can find in a year for us to “subscribe” to? It's a freaking dictionary, not a Netflix channel.

Developer Response ,

Sorry but the OALECD 7th edition app released in 2012 and has now become obsolete. The dictionary is revised and updated continuously throughout the years by adding new words, phrases and meanings and also new features to facilitate English learning. By subscribing, users would be able to use the most up-to-date content. Should you have further questions please feel free to email us at dict.hk@oup.com. Thank you.
