The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary is the world’s bestselling advanced-level dictionary for learners of English. It has helped millions of learners to develop their English skills for work and study, and leads the way to more confident, successful communication in English. It contains over 86,000 words, 95,000 phrases, 112,000 meanings and 237,000 examples, all using clear and simple language to help non-native speakers learn more easily.
The Oxford Collocations Dictionary shows you which words work together and helps you express your ideas naturally and convincingly. It is especially useful for writing essays or preparing for exams in English. For example, which adjectives can you use to describe ‘scenery’? Which verbs can you use with ‘challenge’?
The Oxford Learner’s Thesaurus is a dictionary of synonyms that helps you to understand the differences between similar words, and to find the right words to say exactly what you mean. For example, is there a better word than ‘nice’? What is the difference between ‘easy’ and ‘simple’? What is a more formal synonym of ‘choice’?

Ratings and Reviews
Text selection problem in ios 13.4.1
I’ve been using the 9th edition of this awesome dictionary for years. Then when this new app was released I got thrilled by the new features included in it e.g. CEFR tags. But now after upgrading to ios 13.4.1 things have turned into a nightmare. This is because there is no text selection capability in 10th edition from this update on. Besides, there is a huge bug in text selection and copying in 9th edition from this update on. So, at the moment I can’t use either of them and that’s a pity because I’m completely dependent on them. Please help out!

We are sorry that you are encountering an issue. We are unable to replicate the problem, but we will soon be issuing an update to both OALD10 and OALD9 apps and hopefully this will provide a resolution for you. Please let us know if the problem persists after the update.
The bug of search history and suggestions for improvements
There are a few aspects that need to be improved:
1. It seems that the history function doesn’t work very well. Usually it only keeps a few items of the search history, not all of them. 2. Besides, search history also records some unnecessary words that are only partial of the intended words generated while putting in the input box. 3. Words placed under the “favorite”are automatically sorted in the alphabetic order, but I think it’s better to sort them according to the time of search history, or at least such option should be available. Overall it’s a wonderful app, and I will love it even more if you could make the above improvements. Than you!

In general I'm loving this app
In general I'm loving this app. Nice features and contents and all that. But there's several bugs, especially when I'm using this on my ipad as the side app. Sometimes searching doesn't work so I have to close it and open it again. And It kind of annoys me when it pauses my music whenever I start this app. Also history needs fixing. It often includes words I didn't look up.
That said, other satisfying features make up for those. Full text search is amazing and helpful. I would've given five stars if it weren't for a few bugs.
Developer Response ,
Thank you so much for the positive review! We've made a note of your comments and will use them to inform our future updates. Please note that the app requires microphone access for the Pronunciation Practice functionality, which is why the music players stop when you launch the app. To resolve the issue, please disable microphone from your device Settings>OALD. We hope this helps and that you continue to enjoy the app.
