The developers seem to have fixed this problem with the latest update. So far so good. ### 5/5 — Fixed “Total Failure” *2023-01-17* Thank you for Fixing the total failure issue. It’s working again. Special thank you to the developers for keeping up with the changes required to maintain the app. This is still the best dictionary in the App Store. **Developer response:** Thank you. It wasn't our fault. Sorry for the trouble. ### 2/5 — Suddenly stopped working *2023-01-12* I’ve been using this dictionary for a few years but today it completely stopped working. When I start up the app - it comes up with a message “Total Failure” and directs me to the App Store. I’ve deleted it and reloaded it but no progress. This was a very expensive app that I use every day - it’s very disappointing to have it now continually fail. I’m using on an iPad 7th generation on iOS 16.2 Please help. **Developer response:** Please download the latest version -14.0 Go to AppStore > [your account] > "Update all" and it will download if you are on WiFi. ### 5/5 — Oxford Deluxe *2022-10-10* Having the thesaurus alongside The Oxford English Dictionary is a major help when looking for the same word without wanting to repeat oneself. The app is fast and user friendly. I remember at Uni my English professor carried the hard copy to class in a basket with other various things: he told me he didn’t mind the weight. The next day he had this app instead. It turned out he did mind the weight. If you buy it, it’ll be amongst the best money you’ve ever spent. David **Developer response:** Thank you ### 4/5 — Mac版のダウンロード *2021-11-08* Mac版も出たとのことですが、無料ダウンロード方法を教えてください。 **Developer response:** 通常に同じアカウントでmacOSで無料でダウンロードができるはずです。 問題があればサポート宛にメールをください。 ### 5/5 — A fantastic resource *2021-04-19* A well laid out app. The only Dictionary you will ever need. **Developer response:** Thank you ### 5/5 — After the update - the app is wonderful again. *2020-02-25* After the update, I am back to rating this app A+++++. I use multiple dictionaries in my daily life as well as many app based reference books. Having these enormous books at my fingertips in a portable device is a real help. There’s nothing more satisfying than to find ALL the information I need without hauling out weighty tomes. Of course, the content is magnificent as anyone would expect from Oxford! Thanks very much to the developers for fixing the issues that I was having. I really appreciate the work that you have put into this app. **Developer response:** Fixed. Any version after 9.0 support iOS13. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid app removed from my region *2026-07-20* I’m from India and paid for this app and now the developer has removed it from my region. Feeling betrayed ### 1/5 — BOUGHT NOT WORKING- ONLY WANTS BUY AGAIN *2026-02-12* BOUGHT App BLOCKED BY Ads. SCAMMED TWICE. FEB. 2026. LINK to Apps NOT Working. SCAMMED TWICE. ### 1/5 — App suddenly not working after 3 months *2023-02-17* Bought and paid for this app back in Nov 2022 and Feb 2023 it suddenly showed “ total failure” asking me to download updated version . When I tried to do the downloading, it asked me to pay again for the app as if I am an new user! I will not pay for it again as history will repeat itself. I tried to contact the app developer but failed! Such a waste as it is indeed a good designed app but after sales service is SUCK when issue arises. I will definitely avoid all app developed by this developer ! **Developer response:** Please download the latest version -14.0 Don't want to point the finger -but we didn't change one line of code in that part of the app. Contact this email address for faster support: supportj [at] enfour.com ### 1/5 — Apparently Incompatible on iPad Pro *2023-01-18* Having been charged $38.00 to download the App it consistently fails to open on iPad Pro. No explanation has been forthcoming. Consider alternative App before purchasing. **Developer response:** It works fine with the iPad Pro. Please email our support desk supportj [at] enfour.co.jp ### 1/5 — Latest update has repeated nag screens to login *2023-01-17* Dec 26,2022 - This is not what i paid for. Jan 17, 2023 - The app has been giving me non-stop notifications when it’s not even open on my phone, telling that I need to download a new version. There have been at least 15 in the last few minutes. The app itself has a message that says ‘Total failure’. It is unusable as is, before download. I have screenshots. I am never buyinng from this app developer again, and I suggest anyone looking at buying this app look for other versions of the OED on the app store. **Developer response:** Apple's licensing system changed on us. Please download the latest version 14.0. That should fix it. ### 1/5 — Continually crashes *2023-01-16* I purchased this app as my previous Oxford dictionary was no longer supported. When I try to look up words, this app either gives a ‘Total failure’ message or flicks me over to the App Store to get a free app with in-app purchases- which I should have already paid for with this App. This is a very poor product from UniDict. **Developer response:** Please download the latest version -14.0 Go to AppStore > [your account] > "Update all" and it will download if you are on WiFi. ### 1/5 — App crashes with “Total Failure” error message and is unusable *2023-01-16* As other reviewers have experienced, I paid in full but app crashes with “Total Failure” error message and is unusable. **Developer response:** Please download the latest version -14.0 Go to AppStore > [your account] > "Update all" and it will download if you are on WiFi. ### 1/5 — What’s going on? *2023-01-15* Being using this app for quite a while, all of a sudden it says total failure when I open app and auto directs me to download a new version at the in app version. So I download that and it says I have no licence? Go to my purchased apps and I can’t put in a problem cause it also says it’s never purchased. Ridiculous. Not paying another $38 dollars for the same app. Please fix I’m getting annoyed. Great dictionary even though it’s the same thing that’s built into the iPhone. But man why is there two versions confusing matters and why can’t I re-download what I purchased or update that version rather than it sending me to the other version? **Developer response:** Please download the latest version -14.0 Go to AppStore > [your account] > "Update all" and it will download if you are on WiFi. ### 1/5 — App displays “Total Failure” and opens the App Store for some reason. *2023-01-14* I paid $25 for this app, and now for some reason, it is completely unusable on new iPad Mini with iPadOS 16.2 **Developer response:** Please download the latest version -14.0 Go to AppStore > [your account] > "Update all" and it will download if you are on WiFi. ### 1/5 — 아니 장난하나 지금 *2022-04-28* 거금 3,5000원 들여서 구매했는데 설치자체가 불가능하다고 계속 뜨네, 뭔 이런 경우가 다있나. 개발자 빨리 환불하세요. 빠른 답변하세요 **Developer response:** 어쩌면 다른 앱을 구입했다고 생각합니다.  서포트에게 이메일을 보내주십시오. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dictionary *2026-03-27* Ramon26 ### 5/5 — Amazing dictionary *2024-08-30* I had to get a new Apple device and a new iCloud so I lost my old Oxford English deluxe dictionary access. So I repurchased it it’s worth every cent even underpriced in my mind for how much depth and richness it contains of the historical English. If you can purchase this it will greatly enhance your historical English even in this current modern day, modern day English with other dictionaries are not worth it we want to preserve the integrity of English and its history plus you have an advantage you can hear the word pronounced on the app choose this specific Oxford dictionary it functions well for years and will help you understand your daily speech and others. You will be able to understand others speech and what they mean even correct them for many use words they don’t know it’s true meaning and sense it’s used in. I own many dictionaries but this is my favorite English dictionary I am very thankful for it and it’s producers. Their is way more to this app than I’ve mentioned take me at my word purchase this as your English dictionary! I wish you all well! ### 5/5 — Function able app! *2024-06-17* I bought this app in the beginning of 2022 it was having bad problems when I first got it but ever since then no problems at all whatsoever whatever they did they fixed the app crashing problem. The new update is really cool they added the AI to the selection of choices. I use this dictionary daily it is very useful it gives the root word meaning of where the word came from in its original language. I highly recommend this app your getting more than your moneys worth. **Developer response:** Thank you very much. ### 5/5 — Dysfunctional app *2024-06-14* I bought this app in the beginning of 2022 it was having bad problems when I first got it but ever since then no problems at all whatsoever whatever they did they fixed the app crashing problem.
