Effectively usage

.

Misleading price

Usually when searching for an app it shows as free to download but will have “in app” purchases. This app is misleadingly suggestive that it is free when in fact it is a trial of either 3 or 30 days. Without it you will have limited usage and restricted features. It’s a good dictionary but it just needs to be honest about the trial and price.

review

your app oxford dictionary and thesausus is amazing. l learned so much
new words l didn't know. make another app like this and add some games to it like polytrack

Constantly tries to get you to pay

Each time I’ve tried to use the app, get a pop up trying to make you subscribe which is impossible to close on the iPad - deleted the app as it meant it was effectively useless

Premium and payment being forced

This used to be a great app. Now whenever I open it I am faced with “do you want to go premium?” And the choice is either yes or yes! So am deleting the app - plenty of others to choose from
