### 5/5 — The Peerless OED

*2026-07-16*

I could not function without its joy and precision.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-14*

Has any information anyone could want

### 5/5 — Amazing dictionary

*2026-07-14*

Amazing dictionary must have . The price is worth it

### 5/5 — THE most complete and authoritative dictionary in handy digital form!

*2026-02-28*

‘Nuff said

### 1/5 — 坑

*2025-09-13*

明明是apple store免费下载结果直接扣我98 有病吗

### 3/5 — Not OED

*2024-02-15*

This is not worth $15 (or any money, really). I foolishly thought this would be a comprehensive ODE, but it contains less information that rather good free apps, like the dictionary.com one. Save your money.

### 2/5 — iPad上での操作が安定しない

*2023-11-09*

無印第七世代を使用しています。辞書としての機能には大変満足していますが、アプリが不安定だと感じます。

検索バーに素早くタイプすると高頻度でフリーズ、また最近は検索バーの×印を押して新しい単語を入力しようとするとアプリ事態が落ちてしまい使えません。

下手な無料のオンライン辞書を使うよりも、よっぽど便利で使える辞書なのにこれでは大変残念に思います。

**Developer response:** サポート宛にメールを送ってください。
OSのバージョンは知りたいです。

### 5/5 — 18年买了，花了98元

*2023-04-05*

18年买了，应该是第一版，说永久使用，今年突然用不了。提示下载这个ode，结果又再次支付了98元。请问怎么退款啊？怎么联系你们啊？所以我要申请退款，因为我已经买过一次了。

### 3/5 — This is not a dictionary of American English.

*2023-03-18*

Why is this in the American App Store?

### 5/5 — Oxford Dictionary ODE

*2021-12-13*

A quality app and an extremely handy reference dictionary on your iPhone or iPad. I’ve used this app for some time now at work & at home and it is extremely useful and easy to use, especially when you need to understand the meaning and use of words.

**Developer response:** Thank you
