  • Poorly developed app

    I feel like I have wasted my money purchasing this app. It is better to get other dictionary apps than this one.
  • Paying again for the same app

    I bought this a few years ago, bought my new iPhone and nothing works anymore. Not only don’t update my Idioms and Phrasal Verbs dictionaries but you ask me to pay again for this one. Not sure this is legal at all.
  • Not free

    Stupid app
  • Disappointed!

    Disappointed that I can no longer use this dictionary as the developer is different from when I bought it. Consequently, I have to purchase it again, I will stick with Oxford then.
  • Unfair and disappointed

    I have to be honest and admit it is a good one but for my disappointment when I upgraded my iOS the app stop working then I tried to get un upgrade I couldn’t find the app in the store I discovered that the company issued a new version and asking me to pay for the new version and the previous version no more in store so I lost my money I tried to email the company but they ignored me.

    Thanks Cambridge for your unfair treatment !!!!!!

    Very bad rating for your attitude but as I am honest to my principles I will rate the app as a great app.

    My message to the users think twice before buying this app as may lost your money if these guys issued a new version.

  • It’s a scam. Don’t buy it!

    I bought this dictionary a few of years ago, then the developers stop updating it and since last iOS 11 update it’s not supported anymore!
    So I need to buy this new version and spend £20+ every two years???
    Also I lost all my saved words!
    Very disappointed and very annoying!
    I thought you can trust and expect more from Cambridge and the result is a completely rip off and dodgy company!
    I wonder how many thousands of people they have scammed with a £20. I wish I can denounce them as a completely scam.
    Now I’m moving to other free dictionaries or to another more serious like Oxford dictionaries.

  • Don’t buy it

    The sound quality is just too poor.
    The app crashes too often.
  • Rip-off!

    I bought a version of this dictionary when my phone and iPad were on a previous version of iOS. In iOS version 10 I started getting messages saying “the developer needs to update this app”. Now, with iOS 11, the app appears with a different name and I am supposed to dish out £25 for exactly the same content and functionality. Looking at legal options.

    Developer Response

    Dear Ivo8888, The version that you purchased should have updated without requiring a new purchase. Please contact the developer's help service at support@slovoed.com so that they can help you update your app without a new purchase. Yours, The Cambridge Dictionary team
  • For dumb learners

    This is an absolutely useless application. Having been using a web-based version for almost a year, I hoped to alleviate the usage by installing a mobile variant. Alas, only the most simplistic words were available for search, which has greatly disappointed me. 26$ for an extended version is a huge overkill. Overrated

  • Disappointing

    1- Can't find 20% of the vocabulary I'm looking for.
    2- Search function is a real hassle
    3- More quiz, test or game with vocabulary options can be added
