Ratings and Reviews
Good dictionary
I'm running this app on a late 2008 MBP. It has never crashed. It is much more comprehensive than eReference (which is a total pain if you have to reinstall). Etymologies included. It is not as Mac-like as it needs to be at this point. I can minimize it (Cmd-M), but it can't be hidden (Cmd-H). I would buy it again. The sound files work perfectly. If it were more Mac-like, it would get 5 stars from me.
Great Reference
Not sure why some reviewers have a low opinion of this app. As far as the comment posted in the "Not as advertised" review that the dictionary "barely cover [sic] a moducum [sic] of depth, the dictionary correctly reports "moducum" is spelled "modicum!" I have two masters degrees and currently a doctoral student; this dictionary certainly meets my needs.
Thi is a fine/dictionary app stop compaining!
Yes it is not the full OED. The app NEVER claimed to be! The title is the SHORTER Oxford English Dictionary. If you buy this dictionary and expect the OED you simply have not looked at what you are buying. The app itself is really fine and will meet the needs of almost everone.
