I appreciate the effort on developing new features. And I am looking forward to future updates. ### 2/5 — not impressive at all *2016-04-07, version 1.3* most of time have to seek help from webster instead ### 4/5 — Great and could be better *2016-01-13* The entire application responds a lot faster than old version. But the icon is indeed not as sleek as last version. And there the flash card feature couldn't include search history, which is a huge minus--when I am using kindle, every word I looked up would go to the flash card. But this app is primarily a really powerful tool for Chinese English learner. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fix your bug plz *2020-09-18, version 1.9.2* After I updated my system to iOS14, it appears that the searching layout is distorted, pleas help us fix it. Thanks a lot **Developer response:** This app is out of date and has been discontinued. Please go to Settings > About the new app and how to activate it, follow the steps and you will be able to use OALECD8 in the new app. Any questions please contact us via Settings > Contact Support. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Upgraded offer to owners of previous versions *2019-07-11, version 1.8.6* It is highly preferred to let owners of previous versions to have a special discount for upgrading to the newest version **Developer response:** Sorry, app updates are free but a new edition of a dictionary involves a considerable amount of editorial effort and resources so as to provide improvement and updates to the content. New editions would need to be paid for separately - just as print dictionaries we would not normally have discounts if we bring an old edition to the bookstore. Hope this makes sense. ### 1/5 — 升級后的界面設計非常不美观 *2018-07-13, version 1.8.4* 升級后的界面設計非常不美观 **Developer response:** 不好意思，请更新到1.8.5，谢谢 ### 1/5 — Most of the time,it can't find the word I'm looking for! *2018-05-03, version 1.7.1* Most of the time,it can't find the word I'm looking for! **Developer response:** Oxford Advanced Learner's English-Chinese Dictionary is a dictionary for learners. Perhaps you will need another type of dictionary with a larger vocabulary, e.g. Oxford Dictionary of English. ### 1/5 — 限制设备 *2018-04-27, version 1.7.1* 买了iPad版；手机不能用 **Developer response:** 本应用程序在 iPhone 和 iPad 都能用，请在手机也登录同一个 Apple 账号，完成购买验证就能够启用了。 ### 1/5 — App nonresponsive *2017-09-04, version 1.6* The app goes nonresponsive every few seconds. Absolutely horrible! **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that - we haven't been able to reproduce this issue. Would you kindly be able to send us an email with the subject 'app nonresponsive' through the app's Settings > Contact Support, so that we could see your device information and try to find out what has gone wrong? Thanks! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2016-12-12, version 1.4.1* 百度上都能查到的词，这里查不到！是真的牛津词典还是骗人的？ ### 2/5 — Can I import the bookmarks from the other app? *2019-05-23, version 1.8.5* Can I import the bookmarks from the other app (e.g. OECD)? **Developer response:** Yes - please go to Settings > Transfer bookmarks and history to the new app. Thanks. ### 2/5 — 更新出bug了 *2018-07-13, version 1.8.4* 更新以后反而排版混乱了，好像没加载好的网页一样 **Developer response:** 不好意思，1.8.4出现CSS问题，请更新到1.8.5，谢谢 ### 2/5 — 全新的 2.0 不在美区提供？ *2018-06-15, version 1.8* 全新的 2.0 不在美区提供？有点失望… **Developer response:** 抱歉，由于技术问题，新程序还在准备中，我们会尽快上市，也会在美国发布 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beyong expectation, worth every dollar *2018-11-24, version 1.8.5* 买了新iPad重装apps，发现这个app review 只有2.9分。我不理解为什么会有人给一星差评。我用这个字典两三年了，真的是良心之作，物有所值。也许某个版本升级出现了严重bug，修复了就好了嘛。我只是希望developer的付出得到肯定，也希望有更多的人从这个优质的英语学习字典受益。 也顺便提点小建议，如果能整合一个PDF阅读器，并屏幕取词，就更好了。还有偶尔会crash。 下面是我一年多前写的review——— I can look up almost any word from any other apps through the share menu after selection. History function is good for reviewing new vocabulary. Great learning tool. Real human voice for all the words and examples. Awesome app, great work! **Developer response:** 感谢支持和建议。从PDF复制文字，到app里打开 "阅读器" ，文字便会自动贴上，那就可以屏幕取词。闪退不知道是在什么情况下发生？欢迎到 "设置" > "联系技术支持" 给我们更多信息，谢谢 ### 5/5 — display broken down *2018-07-13, version 1.8.4* the screen for word display is completely distorted after the latest update. I hope someone can help me solve this problem **Developer response:** Sorry about that! This is now fixed in 1.8.5. ### 5/5 — 应用好评😀 *2017-12-26, version 1.7* 一直很爱用这款词典，主要优点是内容丰富，界面也容易上手，十分推荐👍🏻 ### 5/5 — 不错，物有所值 *2017-02-28, version 1.5* 物有所值 ### 5/5 — 這是一個高水準作品。非常滿意。 *2017-02-27, version 1.5* 清晰流暢，畫面華麗，內容豐富。 ### 5/5 — Activation issue *2017-02-27, version 1.5* Thank you for the update. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Extraordinary! *2016-08-14, version 1.4.1* I seldom write review but have to say that this dict is just fantastic! Hoping that in the future it could be even better. For example, it would be nice if words like "doping" could be included. ### 4/5 — 台灣繁體使用者 *2019-07-09, version 1.8.6* 雖然說字都已經繁體化 但許多用法很明顯就是簡轉繁直譯過來的 像是信息、查taxi出現的出租車等等 雖然說也不是看不懂 但總覺得如果繁體化能做的更徹底 會讓我覺得錢花的心服口服 **Developer response:** 謝謝您的反饋，如我們電郵裏溝通，詞典兼顧兩岸三地讀者，也有加入台灣和香港的用語（例如 ICU 等詞條），我們會繼續努力改進，謝謝 ### 4/5 — 适配性不够完善 *2019-07-04, version 1.8.5* 对xr的适配性不好，字体看起来特别糊 **Developer response:** 可以的话，请到设置 联系技术支持 和我们联系，我们看看是什么问题，谢谢！ ### 4/5 — 您好，为什么书签和笔记发不出邮件了？ *2019-03-14, version 1.8.5* 给反馈的那个邮件发了也没有回复。 **Developer response:** 邮件这边确实没有收到，麻烦请再试一下？（设置 > 联系技术支持）我们测试过了，书签和笔记都能成功发出，希望收到您的邮件进一步沟通情况，谢谢 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
