Stuck in download full app error~

PEU is the easiest, straightforward, no-frills solution to my grammar woes I've found in over a decade of learning English, and I can't thank the talented authors and developers enough for that.
But the difficulty I'm currently having is that I want to use it smoothly on my MacBook. Today I purchased and installed it at full price in the app store, followed the instructions and clicked on the download full app button, and I saw that I needed to download 6M of in-app content. The download was soon completed, but the result was back to zero, nothing happened, still not working properly. I repeated it over and over again, still stuck in the download full app step.

I really want to use PEU on my MacBook as eagerly as I want to meet my girlfriend, please!

Awesome!

This app is great. It is comprehensive and you can find grammatical points easily and fast.
I am afraid only because I cannot pay to have this awesome app. I wish I had it.
If you are looking for a grammar book, this book is your must-use book.

Consider your old customers please

Just like your dictionary app that you provided upgrade fee for the old app owners I think it would be awesome if you have done the same for people who already paid
Thank you

the best grammar reference app ever

I'm an old fan of Oxford University Press' apps and I've bought OALD 8, 9; and PEU 3, 4 for my iOS devices. They are my foremost and the best reference and I was so thrilled when I heard that I can download those iOS apps on my m1 mac. I could download those apps but the problem is that I could just download the app only and couldn't proceed in-app download. I know they are "iOS apps" but would you possibly consider customers can download in-app features on their m1 mac please? Thank you.

You don’t fix the bug. It’s terrible app.

Don’t waste your money on this app. Just buy a book. This app is unusable for most daily usage. The page refreshing every time when you switch to another app, and you can’t just continue reading from last stop if someone call you. You should waste your time for finding where you stoped reading. It’s so annoying.

Cant use full app, it must down olap before.

I have purchased the full app which cost me 32.99$. It noticed me must download OLAP before. Whats the OLAP? Why app store noticed me it doesn't existed in my country?

Extortion

I bought the previous version of the app for $39. Now, the past version is redundant; however, I didn’t get compensation for the old update. For the new version,the app developers told me to the buy the new update for another $30!

Old app ignored and new app released! Unfair.

I bought the other Practical English Usage app which was released a few years ago for iOS. I was expecting an update to support iPhone X and above screen size, but unfortunately I saw today that you have release a complete new app for practical English usage while ignoring the old app. Wouldn’t have been better for the ones who already have paid $39.99 for the old one had free of charge for the new one? Or at lease update the old one for us so that we enjoy using the app on new screen sizes rather having them on with smaller UI. Thanks.

Glad that I’ve bought it

Michael Swan’s Practical English Usage is the most comprehensive and the most helpful reference that I’ve seen over my two-decade struggle for a better English. And it’s twice as convenient to have it as an iPhone app.
