Ratings and Reviews
Daily reference
I originally purchased this app for the MacBook because it provides a good reference. Everything from help with pronunciation to synonyms is a fabulous resource.
My only complaint is the app on the Mac isn’t native to the M1. But I’m sure it will be soon.
A truly superior product.
Some things, like the Periodic Table, represent some of the foremost achievements of human thought. And the OED is such a monument (even if we discount the other Oxford dictionaries). Buying a book like this for $25 is worth it to me. I expect this to provide profit and enjoyment to years to come. I offer my personal thanks to the countless people over centuries who have worked and sacrificed to produce this book. And I also send my thanks to the software engineers, and everyone else, who did the work allowing me to put this behemoth of a book into my pocket. Five stars.
Why do I love the Oxford Dictionary
As an octogenarian at this stage in my life, I look back to the days when as a young school boy my dad always spoke of the “Murray’s Oxford” as the ultimate lexicon to refer to. Things have not changed. When you refer to it, you know it is the ultimate. How delighted I was when my granddaughter a few years ago, when she was still not ten, asked me for a dictionary. What did I give her. You guessed the answer correctly! Why, of course the Oxford dictionary. She is a voracious reader and refers to it all of the time.
