I had it installed for one minute and un-installed. I expected ads in a free version, but the ads were obnoxious. It filled the whole screen with no x out. There was in small print in upper right hand corner to continue to dictionary. Then there was a banner ad on the bottom of the screen when I got to the dictionary.

I only need the thesaurus for on-the-go writing projects. Of course, the thesaurus is only available if you pay for premium. No thanks. Edit (10/7/24): After response from the Oxford team on my initial review, my star still remains. Maybe a generous 2 star. I was able to find what I need through another, completely free, app. I wouldn't upgrade this app and pay a premium when I can very easily have what I need elsewhere.

Update Sep 2024 - still getting ads. Saying "sorry for the inconvenience caused" and doing nothing to fix it is bad customer service. Cancelled subscription. Update Jun 2024: Almost every time I tap the word of the day in the notification panel, it shows a pop up ad. I've had the app for several months. It is still a problem. Original: Ads in paid subscription 😞 I go to word of the day, and it shows an ad with loud audio. This is unacceptable in a $20 / year subscription for a dictionary.
