The King’s Language
Oxford Dictionaries & Thesaurus’ have been my staple since primary school when my late father was training me to articulate myself. I’m pleased to have this edition as a companion over three decades later.
Worth Every Single Penny
The OED is the definitive dictionary & thesaurus of the English lexicon and as such no other product can realistically compare.
Whilst the App does not have the complete set of functions that are available on the OED website the ability to download the individual language dictionaries is invaluable.
The price is justified for the OED alone, the additional dictionaries are however extremely handy, and would be of assistance to any budding polyglot.
[Though for anyone taking their studies academically I would recommend always checking for the definitive dictionary of each language you are studying.]

For a dictionary. I will just drive to the library and look up words then.
Natures words
Quick understanding
Come on!!!!
I wonder why is it so hard to find a perfect dictionary online? When I go into it, it tells me to spend money on it. I’m just so young. Every E - dictionary does that. i’d rather go and buy a book.📕 I do think that you can improve, I do respect how you made it, it must be a hard work.😓
Love it
A little reefer and a dictionary … who knew?
Best dictionary by far
I’ve been using the Oxford hatchette French English dictionary for over a decade. I’ve got three or four of the other most famous French English dictionaries, and none of them come close to this one for usability and comp comprehensive translations.
Too many ads
I was just trying to look up words. But it’s constantly throwing ads in my face. Asking you to upgrade. I didn’t like that.
Suddenly French English dictionary not working
I’ve been using the Oxford hatchette French English dictionary for over a decade. Suddenly, it’s not working when I try to open it up. It just says “not connected to the Internet” which I am.. additionally I am unable to find that dictionary in the Apple Store; I did buy it many many years ago, and no other dictionary comes close in usefulness.
Can the developers please help?

Great app
Lots of information! Highly recommend.
Yikes.
Can’t even look up words without being bombarded with ads. The app becomes aggressive when you choose not to go with premium. This is definitely want the owners wanted but honestly, the aggressive ads is disgusting.
Mobi Ruined OED
Basic words don't show up; 1/4 the Dictionary it was; useless.
Did
It is amazing
Premium. Really.
We have to pay for the thesaurus? I hope no one downloads your parasitic app.
Major update was poorly executed
Want to look up the odd word? This app will be OK. For more complex needs, the programming is poorly executed. If you look up words with wild cards (* or ?), the results are not alphabetical, strange for a dictionary. If you select a word from the results to review and then go back, you often lose your search pattern and have to re-enter it. The app worked fine before the update, aside from annoying and frequent requests for a review. Edit: Still buggy, with no fix of above problems. If you search for for a string of characters and want to delete the last two or more, the keyboard disappears after you delete the last character, forcing you to tap in the search bar to bring it back. Very frustrating.
Edit: some of the above issues have been fixed. However, searches, especially with wildcards such as *, are now painfully slow, taking several minutes at times to produce any results.
Edit: the app had become stable with a very useful wildcard feature. However a recent update has degraded it again. A search pattern such as ‘s???????s’ should produce 9-letter words beginning and ending with ‘s’, but instead produces a list of words of any length, essentially giving the same results as ‘s*s’. A pattern such as ‘a*b*’, calling for words beginning with ‘a’ and including ‘b’ used to yield a list firstly sorted by length and secondly alphabetically, but now the list is sorted only alphabetically. If one’s aim is to find words of a certain length, this renders the feature far less useful.

Subscription required
I just need a simple thesaurus, which is listed in the features - but you need a paid subscription of €39/yr to access it. It seems all of the features listed (with exception of limited word search) are actually paid features. Full service is €4.99/week. 😅
Thanks, but I’ll just cross the room and use the physical book I bought in 1998 - or the internet, which is still free (ish). 👀

Export words?
Great app! Using it every day, one feature that I think would make it even more useful is to be able to export favourite words or folders into a doc/excel/pdf/etc

It’s too much better. It’s being better when it’s freely available for poor countries citizens.
Full of ads and slow
Not even full dictionary.
Thank you
It is very good and helps me with all the meaning and synonyms/antonyms that I need…it should succeed in the future; it is amazingly easy to neavigste your way through the app!
