Leave a Review AOD (InApp)
Bad Faith
I purchased this app several years ago. It stopped working and dropped out after the IOS8 upgrade. I contacted their support (not easy to find) who said they would refund me if I could give proof of purchase. However, ‘discontinued’ apps drop off the Apple purchases list. I could not get a refund. If they did not know this, they should have. They should also have offered an upgrade, not just let a $30 app die like that without explanation. Bad faith AOD. I notice also that there is another version for $31+ so why they pretend this app is free when you have to pay the same amount for content I really do not understand. Again, bad faith AOD. The dictionary itself is splendid. It is the service and the lack of easy to find support and the dishonesty that I dislike.Show lessMulberryWriter

Some people require In-App purchases and some can not use them. We provide two app so that we can cover everyone. There is a link to the support email address in the About section of the app. -That didn't help you back when there was a crashing issue 6 years ago, but now Apple's review process is much faster, so when a new version of the OS causes a problem we can fix it much quicker.What a waste of time!
Downloaded the app only to discover it's going to cost $29.95 to access the damn thing. All it did was waste time and data. This is NOT a free app.Esoteric gal

"Free to download" is different from "Free". The app lets you sample the content before purchasing. It clearly says in the description that it is not free.Disappointing for the price
Poor interface and usability. More thought and testing needs to go into visual design and interaction. Using the app feels like using a website from the 90's.GlenjaminLinus
Rubbish
The only redeeming feature of this app is its content: the estimable Oxford Dictionary.
It is ugly, unbelievably ugly. Did a teenager design this in their holidays using screen grab and MS Paint?
It's also really hard to use. It's not clear what is a button or a link, it's not clear what the bottom buttons mean. It has ads, and constantly bugs you for an expensive IAP for a thesaurus. If I wanted a thesaurus, I would have got a thesaurus app.
I don't mind paying $15-20 for a good dictionary, but this dictionary is rubbish at a price point of free. It's a shame, because the Oxford Dictionary is the best, but this app is the worst.Show lesseverbloom
What's going on?
I purchased AOD years ago! Why does my app not work, and why do i get the impression that I am to re-purchase?
I want a refund of my $30 if the app does not work - not to have to pay more money.Loko28

We hope you have moved back to the app you originally purchased.Thieves & scoundrels
I, like others, paid a lot of money for this app. It now seems I'm expected to purchase the same thing again? I'm disappointed Apple let the developers do this. I read in the info you can enjoy this app for years to come, don't believe them. Very disappointed. No stars.shane_h

After downloading 250MB of AOD realised it was a InApp purchase for 25.00 Dollars - what a waste of time to download this while there are free versionsIgnorance.?bliss
