| 2024-11-23 |  | | Prohibitively expensive. That's OALD in a nutshell. I've purchased the ninth and the tenth editions and the only upside is that you can download the content and view it when you're offline. The thing is, with internet connectivity getting better and rivals getting better, you don't really need it unless a dictionary is part of your professional requirement. Now, if they'd bundled at least a Thesaurus, I'd have given a glowing five-star review. The app also needs to be faster. |
| 2024-10-04 |  | | Hi! I'm not a fan of subscription plans, the only reason why I've subscribed is the bundle (dictionary + collocations + thesaurus) and the fact that the respective apps previously bought are no longer updated. As long as this seems to be the way forward (subscription plan), I would like to make some suggestions for improvement (mainly the app) but due to the word limit here on Google Play, I'd like to have a regular email address available in order to elaborate. Thanks! |
| 2024-08-19 |  | | The app is great and working just fine. The issue I'm facing is that my subscription is expiring and I need to renew it as soon as possible, however, I'm having difficulties renewing it because all my MasterCards are being reviewed although I have money on them, it keeps telling me that the transaction has been refused. Is the problem on your side? I need to renew the subscription quickly because I use a lot this app. |
| 2024-08-12 |  | | The best dictionary ever. I don't think there's still a reason to delete it despite the drawbacks I'm encountering. I have been trying to activate paid version but anytime I link my card to subscribe, there comes out an error. I tried many possibly means to sort it out but to no avail 😔. I uninstalled and reinstalled but to no avail. Please provide any rendable assistance. |
| 2024-08-10 |  | | I like this helpful dictionary, but I have a difficulty reaching my content. I have a yearly subscription for the all 3 dictionaries of Oxford, then today is supposed to be renewal date, it was 17.99$, and the payment has been declined, I tried to fix the problem but no vain.Then I canceled the subscription, and try to resubscribe again with the new price of 20$, and no success to. Then I have found that I lost my favorites and my folders, and even can not subscribe again. Please help me. |
| 2024-08-08 |  | | I have seen, from reviews, that I'm not the only one suffering this, and your response to the other client is that there are technical problems. At the end of my previous subscription period, I'm unable to re-subscribe because TWO cards, Visa and Mastercard (which I successfully use with Amazon) keep getting rejected and I'm told to update my payment method. I have even deleted the cards and re-entered their details, no success. Please sort out this very frustrating problem. |
| 2024-07-18 |  | | I have been using the older version of this dictionary for years. However, the latest android system no long support the older version, so I download this app and decided to buy the license version, however, the app keep prompt me that it could not connect to Google Play. Another thing is that I am quite disappointed that user has to pay either monthly or yearly in order to use the dictionary, unlike the older version, user only needs to pay once. |
| 2024-02-17 |  | | The "man", the myth, the legend... The greatest dictionary in the world, there's no one that come even close. The British accent with the examples of each word has helped me tremendously with improving my accent. For those on the fence, buy the complete version, and be ready to learn every day new words that will help you communicate better and become smarter. |
| 2023-11-13 |  | | Well, unfortunately, I cannot give a satisfiably clear and just preview of your dictionary, but am almost confident that I shall later on only give a fair rating of the Oxford Dictionary, as it has always gained the high acclaim, appeal and confidence of its customers everywhere on the Globe. Every detail I've just mentioned here is based on the perfect experience I've had with a similar if not the same version of the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary where I always found what I wanted. |
| 2023-05-20 |  | | Great dictionary but the app lacks a convenient way to look up words on the go thus I'm uninstalling. I propose to the developers to either add an entry to Android's text selection menu to look up the selected word (most convenient approach) or from a sticky notification with a text input field (less convenient, as it requires manual input of the word, also visually annoying) |
