  • Good dictionary, but it could be even nerdier

    LE’s.Country.Grammar

    I very much enjoy this app and keep it on the first screen of my phone. People are constantly using words in new ways, and I like to look them up just to see the original meaning and usage. My only suggestion (and why I removed one star) is that I wish there was a more complete etymology of each word. That’s what I find really interesting.

  • Great Dictionary with a lot of ads

    Yoav Malek

    This is by far the most expansive dictionary, but has a ridiculous amount of ads on the free version. When it comes to archaic words, non-American spellings, and other wise unique phrases, this is the best dictionary. However, if you occasionally need to find a definition or pronunciation, you shouldn’t use this dictionary, the ads will drive you mad.

    Wondrastoopilous!! My daily companion, as I’m always curious about definitions and pronunciations. I revisit words by testing my memory’s remembered definitions. It’s hard to beat having an interactive dictionary when testing my ability to break down unknown words as I’m attempting to blindly define. I wouldn’t change a thing about the app.

    Hello LaNaTcE. We are glad you liked the app. We request you to give us a 5-star rating as it is the best encouragement for our team.

  • Ads on Premium

    Musicmagnolia

    I paid for a premium account when I installed the app and have enjoyed an ad-free experience for more than a year. I just recently started having un-skippable minute-long ads show up after every other word—unbearable. When I go to my account information, I’m signed in, and it still says “Premium.” I would not have paid that big chunk of change, if it wasn’t really going to be premium. When it’s just being a dictionary, it’s great. Now, seems like a scam. Super disappointed.

    Hello Musicmagnolia. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. Another user recently informed us that the issue has been resolved on their end. Could you please try tapping “Restore” at the bottom of the “Go Premium” screen and let us know if it works for you?

  • Hard pass

    private banana

    I have a premium account, but when I try to look up words I often get a 'something went wrong' message and nothing works. Pressing 'help' gets me a cloudflare page showing me some green tick marks and a red x. I'm not using a vpn. Beyond this, as a dictionary it's nothing like what it should be even if it did not have the 'Oxford' in the title, and occasionally I get no result when I type in a word I can easily find in other dictionaries. Zero reason to use this app at all, much less pay for it.

    Hello banana. I’m really sorry for the trouble you’ve been experiencing.To start, please try updating the dictionary database inside the app:Go to “Choose dictionary” → tap the download arrow next to the dictionary you’re using. This refreshes the content and often resolves lookup issues.Regarding the Cloudflare message, there was a global Cloudflare outage recently that caused temporary connectivity problems across many services. It has now been fully resolved, so the error should no longer appear.About your comment:“Beyond this, as a dictionary it's nothing like what it should be… and occasionally I get no result for common words”Could you please elaborate a bit on this?For example:Which words are not appearing?What exactly feels inaccurate or not up to standard?Does it happen only online, offline, or both?Any details will help us investigate properly and forward the problem to the team.Thanks again for taking the time to report this, we truly appreciate it.

  • Poor Company and Business Practices

    docvitalis

    I purchased this app a long time ago so that I wouldn’t have to deal with advertising. Now they have changed their terms and make you pay monthly or annually to avoid advertising or to get the same service you once purchased. Poor company and business practices! I would like a refund on my original purchase because I never would’ve purchased their product if this was going to be the terms of their service. Waste of money.
