Paid upgrades needing to be re uploaded.
Ok two years in and I,m still having to download my paid upgrades intermittently. It’s much more annoying now. Can this be rectified?
I now know that some of the upgrades are not sourced from the same area, I have purchased them all, so if I clear memory or website data they are deleted also, and have to be reloaded, science and medical, it’s not the end of the world but a bit annoying.

App Abandoned. No longer any good
This was a favorite app for a long time but it barely functions any longer. It used to be that once you started typing a few letters, suggestions would appear or if you misspelled a word, suggestions would be presented. Now you just get an error. Stay away unless they fix this.
Upgrades do not work
I purchased the power pack but I can not get access to these features. I submitted requests through the app and have not seen a response. I would like to use this app. It claims to have everything I need but the upgrades feel like a bait and switch. It has been very lame.
Broken app
Broken app. I have been using this app for years with no problem at all, but after the recent IOS update, none of the in app puchases work and can only use the standard dictionary. This app desperately needs an update - reinstalling app doesn't resolve issue
Broken app
Been using this app for years and used to be great. After updating to latest ios 17.7, it has completely broken the app and none of the upgrades i paid for, no longer work. As this app hasn't been updated for 4 years, i can't see the issue being fixed either.
A very useful app.
Update: downrated to 2 stars, here is why.
1) no updates in several years
2) I have purchased all upgrade packs, but cannot access them. This is not due to purchasing app from a different account, as is mentioned in the 'help', as I have only ever had one Apple ID
3) Attempted to get help from the support site. I filled out the form, pressed submit, only to find the site that is used to accept the form no longer exists.
It is not that is not working, DNS has no knowledge of that site name.
Now looking for a better app, as this app is clearly at death's door.

Do not buy the upgrade
I purchased the upgrade and nothing works. Waste of money. I am not the only one with this problem either.

Excellent
Yes, it's an excellent dictionary, I use it daily and have for years. Since I now have an iPad, I'm switching to to their appropriate app.
Worthless
A dictionary without illustrations is worthless...
Upgrade this one
Even though this a working progress, this one needs the same function as upgrade one. But please make sure to add auto rotation function to it as well

We'll certainly share your suggestion with our app team. Thanks for sharing your feedback with us.
Does not render correctly on iPad Pro
This app has not received an update in over a year. I suspect the developers haven’t even looked at it since then. Go to Home, pick a random article, and see that HTML is not rendered properly. The text has JavaScript and random markup sprinkled throughout and no line breaks and no formatting of any kind. Test your apps before posting them to the AppStore.

Great Dictionary — Horrible App
It appears that this app has not been updated in years. I paid for this app years ago when it was still being updated, but on my 2020 iPad Pro, the app itself does not fit the aspect ratio of my screen. That means it’s blurry and doesn’t even expand to the full width of my screen. I get the app in the middle with two black bars on the sides. This is a great dictionary with a huge number of resources, but I expected the app to continue to be updated since I paid for it. If they had discontinued the app, I would understand — but they still sell it on the app store. That means people are buying an app that is already well outdated. I would love to see a refresh to this app similar to what they did for the iPhone app, especially if it is to stay on the app store for any considerable amount of time. It seems silly that the iPad app could be so ignored when there is a shiny new iPhone app.

Sorry to hear your experience has taken a downturn. We'll certainly share your comments with our app team, and let them know how much you'd like to see they updates to the iPad app. Thanks for being a long-time user of our app!
Inferior to the iPhone version
I wrote a review several years ago complaining that you could not see word origins (etymologies) on the iPad version of this app, and this still has not been fixed. I have purchased the upgrades for both versions, but I have to use the app my iPhone even when I’m working on my iPad in order to get a full definition that includes etymology. So basically, the iPad app is almost worthless to me. I don’t understand why they don’t fix this. It would probably take someone just a few minutes to fix the code to display the word origin.

Good dictionary.
I just hope you guys would love to build up on this dictionary by updating this with new words. Btw, this is good enough for me.
Forget Prescriptivists or Descriptivists get Activists here
Now they are beginning to tell you what words should mean based on political bias. Deleted app. No thank you!
Love it, BUT no slide over or split screen view
UPDATE: Still use it as a reference, but reluctantly switched to Merriam Webster app in order to have access to a dictionary in slide over mode while writing short stories. Disappointing this hasn’t been addressed over the years.
ORIGINAL: First off, I love this app and have used it for years. I purchased the full complement of Pro add-ons and use it on my iPad and Android tablets.
My only disappointment is that it won’t work on iPad in split screen or slide over view. As a writer using Scrivener, slide over would make my life so much easier. Any plans to implement this?
It works fine in split view on Android with MS Word.

Would be 5 star if multitasking compatible.
It would be really useful if you provide the multitasking feature in iPad.
No External Keyboard Support
It is extremely frustrating that there have been no serious efforts to address those of us who use external keyboards. Seriously?
But then again, I guess when an app’s “about” section shows a copyright two years out of date, one shouldn’t expect much from their developers.
Overall I love the functionality of the app. As someone who writes on their iPad, the program is useful. As someone who uses an external keyboard, the lack of keyboard commands is inexcusable. Using the app slows me down and forces me to take my hands off my keyboard. And that’s a deal breaker.
Meh.
