### 4/5 — The search bar

*2025-11-14, version 3.2.3*

It’s a great dictionary. It would be better if I can move the search bar from top to bottom like other web browsers because the search bar is too close to the Dynamic Island. It is very easy to touch the Dynamic Island and pop-up notifications on the top.

### 4/5 — 字詞英翻中達意典雅，例句也都翻得信達雅兼具

*2025-11-09, version 3.2.3*

希望： 
1. 能開放在Mac上使用，像Oxford Dictionary of English。
2. 能自動接收拷貝到剪貼簿的字詞。現在靠一個支援「分享」的 捷徑 ，還是比較麻煩，因為還得進「分享」選單再從中找挑你們提供的捷徑，挺累人的。

### 3/5 — Can’t restore previous purchases

*2025-10-16*

Can’t restore the previous purchases. The links in the app have no responses. Please fix it.

**Developer response:** Please ensure the device is logged in the same Apple account that was used to make your previous purchases, then tap 'Restore purchase' in the app's Catalogue. The activation links would only work if you have registered as our member before. If trouble persists, please go to the app's 'Catalogue > Contact us' and we will provide assistance as quickly as we can.

### 2/5 — App Crash

*2025-08-16, version 3.2.2*

App will crash when trying to save photo.

### 3/5 — 很多單字沒有登錄

*2025-07-24, version 3.2.2*

從訂閱到現在已經使用10個月了，使用的過程中至少搜尋超過五個單字這裡面查不到，因此我還得到Google去查。

### 1/5 — 已付費卻無法連結使用

*2025-06-12, version 3.2.1*

已付費卻無法連結使用
爛透了

### 1/5 — Not able to family share

*2025-03-18*

I bought OALD 9e which was a stand-alone app years ago. It works fine after it has been migrated to this shell app, though I have to download contents within the shell app. But I just found that this app does not fully support family share. The family member can download this shell app by family sharing but is not able to download the OALD 9e contents. This is too bad. Can you guys fix it?

**Developer response:** Sorry, family sharing is not available for this app. To use your purchases on another device, please see the app's Catalogue > FAQ. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Vocab flashcard

*2024-11-05*

Why was flashcard function taken away? I remember using it for practicing words I marked as favorite and it was incredible. Any plan to bring it back?

**Developer response:** We are sorry that the flashcard function from the old OALECD 8th edition app is not available in this app. We will put this on our improvement wish list. Thank you.

### 1/5 — 如何取消訂閱，趕緊處理

*2024-04-27, version 3.1.6*

牛津高階詞典，訂閱後是要怎麼取消 單本購買的，不能取消嗎？？？？

### 4/5 — 怎么在本机设置电邮账户？

*2024-04-10*

我无法导出书签。

**Developer response:** 有关导出书签，请参见 app 内“设置 > 使用说明 > 书签“。有关本机设置电邮账户，请参见https://support.apple.com/zh-hk/102619。谢谢。
