Asks continually to be rated

Great dictionary, but it's irritating that it continually asks to be rated five stars before showing the definition of a word. For the price it cost, I should never be interrupted for that.

Collins Dictionary

Keeps asking user to rate it. Very annoying, almost every time you open it, it asks you to rate it...Please let me choose for myself if I want to rate a product.

Solid Reference Tool

After the American Heritage iOS dictionary crashed and burned I looked for a quality replacement. After a couple of experiments with others, I came upon the Collins dictionary. Its intuitive interface takes you to authoritative information. So my search has a very happy ending. It is my go-to dictionary, used throughout every day.

Very disappointing

This app is the equivalent of the cheapest paperback dictionary the market. The definitions are completely basic and scanty. I seem to remember that I spent some good money on this app and it is not worth more than $.99.

Please, STOP!

Every time I open this dictionary app, the FIRST THING I SEE is it asking for a five star rating. The app is okay. Just okay. But incessantly asking users for praise seriously downgrades its overall appeal. Bad form!

Works great

Have used this app for about 2 years and always works great

Problem with the app.

Oxford dictionary is the best, no doubts about it.
I am rating the app as a program, no the dictionary.
I bought this app years ago. Then I got a new iPhone and I downloaded in it (the app). I am having a problem where I can’t use it when I am off line nor when I am connected to the internet.
This is really upsetting because I used to use it a lot and now I can’t from this device.
And yes, I did got to options and pressed the option to be able to use it off line — It did not work.

Unabridged?

This dictionary app claims to be unabridged. That is nonsense. There are lots of words that were not in this app that I looked up. The Miriam Webster app is far better and equally as abridged as Collins. And your cons cost a lot of money. It was a waste and I wish I can get my money back.

Great Dictionary!

Excellent

Collins English Dictionary

Excellent references tool if you want to increase your vocabulary. Also, learn to use words correctly and understanding their meaning.

Used to be great

I’m giving this 5 stars so it will hopefully stop interrupting my use of it with these annoying requests to give it 5 stars. Good dictionary. Lousy app. Horrible upgrade. More complicated to get get around. Ugly and not so user friendly as it used to be. Loss of functions.

Great Resource

Love it, use it frequently. I used the print version years ago for TOEFL.

Stop Asking For A Review

This app has major emotional insecurity. Every time I open it, which is often because it is a good dictionary, it asks me to rate it before I can use it.

Grow up, dude. Get some self-confidence. Why must you seek validation from me every time I look at you? Is the fact that I am looking not validation enough?

I am starting to cringe because of your neediness. If doing this doesn't make it stop, I will be deleting you and seeking another that is not so needy.

Good day to you, Sir.
