App for understanding

Are you sometimes frustrated because Google translate does not understand you? Well for me the answer was to get a modern version of the famous Oxford dictionaries book. The digital dictionaries are full of descriptions needed to have an interesting and more precise talk to anyone. In my case talking to Asians. In my view This app is also good to have for looking up the least used English words when having a message-conversation with an educated American.

Great dictionary, horrible app

It’s now completely unusable without a subscription. It now only allows you to look up a single word before locking you out of the word list unless you pay the subscription. It’s a good dictionary, but a good dictionary for people with more disposable income than I have. There are other, useable, alternatives. One single word is kind of... idk, I think the OED could have chosen a more sympathetic developer.

Hello, We appreciate the honest feedback and we will keep it in mind for future improvements. Please note that as the Oxford University Press are moving forward with a subscription plan for most of their digital editions, the entire content could not be provided for free. We have included a $1 trial and a low-cost subscription so you can stay within your budget. Of course, you are not obligated to pay and we can discuss the possibility of adding a few more trials in the Free version. Thank you, Mary-Ann-MobiSystems Support Team-

The App is crowded with pushy pop-ups for the Premium version with added functionality. Bad user experience. No thesaurus.
