What does one read without an Oxford?

I reference almost daily as I write and as I read. I’m a lucky one.

Needs a makeover

Looks very old but works good.

Third time I’ve lost the licence

For several years I never had a problem after paying for the app. Suddenly, after an iOS update it didn’t recognise my licence. I tried restoring it after reinstalling without success. The same thing happened again a couple of years later. It’s just happened again in 2025. I’m not paying a third time. If the developers can’t maintain a licence registry, I simply won’t feed them any more unnecessary cash.

I have paid for Oxford Deluxe, but now I need pay again.

Four years ago, I have bought the dictionary Oxford Deluxe, but now it disappears and another Oxford Deluxe(In App) appears, and I cannot use it for free. Why?

Dictionary access revoked(?)

After an update I am now unable to use the dictionary unless I pay an additional $25 usd of the $25 I have already paid when this app used to cost money.

I want a refund!!!!!

ODE

Why does this say ODE rather than OED?

Fair to Middling

Overall it’s OK, if a bit lacking in content depth. In preference I turn to another Thesaurus with a much richer range of choices. My main beef is small but irritating - the search box doesn’t auto populate with the word currently highlighted in a document. Sounds trivial, but is a pain when working with as few distractions as possible and it prevents this app from being my one stop shop.

Not comprehensive

Too many of hyphenated words and proper nouns.

No Widgets

Terrible interface and no widgets. Will not renew.

Awkward yet Complete

The depth of words is unbeatable.
The user interface is inconsolable.

A truly superior product.

Some things, like the Periodic Table, represent some of the foremost achievements of human thought. And the OED is such a monument (even if we discount the other Oxford dictionaries). Buying a book like this for $25 is worth it to me. I expect this to provide profit and enjoyment to years to come. I offer my personal thanks to the countless people over centuries who have worked and sacrificed to produce this book. And I also send my thanks to the software engineers, and everyone else, who did the work allowing me to put this behemoth of a book into my pocket. Five stars.

10 definitions?

Wow. What? I randomly clicked through 10 words and it locked me out. That's a 30-second trial. Amazing, Oxford.

This Is Not What I Expected

The user interface is unwieldy, non-intuitive and confusing. I paid for it but I’m dumping it

Great Dictionary

A must for who wants to improve in a foreign language, in this case, English.
You can also use the audio resource to learn the correct pronunciation.
I recommend.

It's okay

It serves its purpose, but due to lag time, system shutting down unexpectedly I find that I dont turn to it often and prefer the internet

Attn: Support- LDOCE ( App Error ) No Longer Working

I am writing this review for LDOCE I purchased with around S$ 42 from this developer since I have not received any single reply mail to my complaint email for LDOCE that has reached termination of working properly. All of the necessary evidence and minute insights have been attached to the recent mails to the provided contact support email address in the application’s settings.

Dear LDOCE Team( from English Channel),

Splendid day to you! I hope this post finds you with calmness in the chaos and serenity in your soul. I am reaching out to you with reference to your application named Longman Contemporary of English which I purchased through my master card via Apple Store on 16th July 2021.

Since then I have been exploiting or expending the resources in the application with no technical issues until a few prior months when I could no longer access any of the content inside the application. I have already either attempted all of the potential features and options in the app’s settings including resetting or refreshing, or even deleted and reinstalled more the enough. Nevertheless, it seems that there is nothing I can do aside from official pragmatic support and a reasonable solution via email at present. No matter how I tested with any of the possible solutions when they have not been resolved, I presume the whole issue is out of my reach.

Whenever I try to look up a word in your so-called ideal dictionary ( the latest edition), I can see nothing in the entry. To put it another way, even after searching for every single word by typing it individually in the search bar, no results of definitions are given as before. Hence, when I can not view any words, what is the primary purpose of your around S$42 dictionary application? It is rather frustrating that it has been more than 3 months since I could not see anything else in it, however, I strived to look for definitions as usual. How you will remedy this disappointing malfunction or defect with your one-time purchase pricey dictionary app, specifically for me?

I must regain access to the app from any of my iPads. The same problem arises on both of my iOS devices. The one that I am currently utilizing is the latest iPad Pro with its updated iOS version together with the up-to-date download version for LDOCE as well. As you can see in the attached evidential video, it could show nothing else whatever I tried inside. Given these, I demand any logical and practical long-lasting solution to this flaw or imperfection from your team. I am going to send this sensible complaint for my rights followed by my investment in yours out to multiple places including Apple Report until you provide me with a workable solution.

I would sincerely appreciate it if you could revert to me along with feasible support or a refund as soon as possible. I insist you to read this email through comprehensively from top to bottom for detailed better insights. I am looking forward to receiving your response in a little while. Have an extraordinary day!

Yours Sincerely,
Eric

Why do I love the Oxford Dictionary

As an octogenarian at this stage in my life, I look back to the days when as a young school boy my dad always spoke of the “Murray’s Oxford” as the ultimate lexicon to refer to. Things have not changed. When you refer to it, you know it is the ultimate. How delighted I was when my granddaughter a few years ago, when she was still not ten, asked me for a dictionary. What did I give her. You guessed the answer correctly! Why, of course the Oxford dictionary. She is a voracious reader and refers to it all of the time.
