Beware! Don’t buy!

I purchased this App some time ago. It has stopped working and the greedy sods who made this App expect me to pay for a new version. Jam it up your ………. (Can’t think of a word, I have an unusable dictionary)

There were issues with Apple's licensing system. I was never possible to pay for the app twice. Please download the latest version (14.0). That fixes the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

‘Total failure’?

My installed and paid for version of this app now reports ‘total failure’ and directs me to the App Store. The updated version requires a new payment of the full amount. There is no explanation of what is going on.

There were issues with Apple's licensing system. Please download the latest version (14.0). That fixes the issue. Go to AppStore > [your account] > "Update all" and it will download if you are on WiFi. Sorry for the inconvenience.

App doesn’t work, wants me to pay again

After the most recent update the app no longer works and keeps asking me to purchase it - I already purchased the app and I’m not going to buy it again. I emailed the developer twice and no response. Don’t use this app!

Still not right

I paid $40 for this app 8 YEARS AGO, and I still cannot re-download it for free! The only AOD app the store lets me download from the cloud requires $20 to activate. Support is non-existent, and the replies to bad reviews are factually incorrect or misleading.

User Support is there. (This is Tech Support) This app was never $40. You must have purchase an app with a similar name, maybe from another company But, we will still try to help you find your lost app. Please email User Support. They will reply.

Temerity

6y after this app broke you notify me that it was fixed in 24 hours. OK I take your word for that even though my memory of the problem is different. So I now download the app which I paid about $40 for back then only to find you want a further $20 to activate it. Look up “ temerity”.

This app was never $40. You would never have to pay again, anyway. You must have purchased a different dictionary app, possibly from a different company. Email our Support Desk and they will try to find which app you actually purchased. The original receipt email from Apple will sort this out instantly. It might take a couple of days, but they will reply.

English language knowledge at your finger tips

I love this app. I have it installed on both iPad and iPhone and with the in app purchase have an entire dictionary at my finger tips.
I personally like the layout, I find it simple and easy to use.
Well done to the team behind this.

Thank you

This is a con

Why is this app listed as free? It provides zero value unless you buy in-app. I thought Apple required an app to actually do something?

"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.

Excellent support, excellent product

I too bought this some years ago, and later experienced some problems, but English Channel Support (new vendor?) have been great in re-activating the app on both iPad (Air 2) and iPhone (5S), at no cost to me. Don't know what happened to Enfour, but I strongly recommend this app to Aussies, under its new management.

We hope you have moved back to your original purchase now.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
