Oxford Dictionary of English F

A great dictionary! I've been using it for a few months and have yet to find a word that isn't included in this tome. Even archaic and Middle English words are included. I love the origin of the word feature. This is the finest dictionary I have found for electronic devices. My only suggestion to them is to improve the word a day feature, words are chosen completely at random and they need to have an education level based choice, i.e. Challenging, Average and Basic.

I was looking for a dictionary app that was ads free, could be used as the main dictionary in my reading app moon reader, and it had to be reasonably quick when looking up words. This app fulfill my above requirements and more. For example, I didn't like learning one new word per day notification at first. However, after I've learned several new words, I begin to see the benefit of learning new words with such method. But only it expands my vocabulary, also remembering one new word per day is much easier then memorizing say twenty new words per day.

A great dictionary and app. Too bad Oxford went to a subscription model. Glad I purchased this before the subscription came into effect. I'll certainly not pay $40 a month for a reference text (or $0.50 a month for that matter), but I thank the app developer for again making this available in the app store.

This is by far the best dictionary I've ever used among many others in my library, at home and on mobile phone. Complete, authoritative, practical and perfectly designed. It is worth the purchase!!!Well done!

The Oxford English Dictionary is great, don't get me wrong. This two-bit (yes, ¼ byte) company they contracted to build an app, on the other hand, seems to have been ill-equipped for the job. Clearly nobody tested the UI with, you know, actual users. It is so cluttered and unpolished. Secondly, whose bright idea was it to exclude the thesaurus? If I'm paying $10 for this app, I expect it to compete with other dictionary apps that are free. The standalone thesaurus app is no good. Oy vey...

No option to upload favourites onto cloud (import /export) or save an export file onto the phone. I just changed phones and lost all my words in FAVOURITES. For an app that nearly costs £8, this is totally unacceptable. Also no update since May 2020

Good, could be better. The search facility only locates the main entries, and not derived words. For example, if you look for 'condone' you will find it, but you will search for 'condonation' without success. There are very many similar examples.

The dictionary is fine. The constant pestering for five-star reviews is annoying. Worse is there doesn't appear to be any curatorship for the word of the day. A few days ago I got an alert on my phone to tell me the meaning of 'three'. Finally! An alert to help people who have been stuck at 'two' all these years. There are so many fun, obscure words in English and this app thinks we are unaware of what three means.

No thesaurus included. For $15 AUD I'd prefer a full Dictionary, thesaurus, & etymology. Currently they have separate concise thesaurus & etymology apps with ads, which I'm expected to pay to remove. It's all feeling a bit too expensive. Plus I'd like a dark mode. The devs say they are working on the dark mode.

I love it as a reference, but their word-of-the-day selections must be computer-generated so I learn nothing from the terrible choices. Reserved, rightly, relationship management, cumulative error, wedge-shaped are the last five days. Booo.

This is, almost certainly, the most authoritative Dictionary of British English on the web. It also has notes on US usage. You can also hear how words are pronounced - a very useful feature, even for native speakers.

I very much like this app from my initial experience. Easy to navigate and the search function is useful. Seems to have been developed anthropomorphically which is always a plus.

Excellent content, but the underlying engine has a bug that garbles categorization of saved favorites. So at present, don't bother to organize them into folders as I did.

You know whats nice? Not having to download an offline database every time I update or clear data. PRE INSTALL THAT. And if there are newly added or modified words, just roll an update. This offline never downloading database is absolutely irritating. PLEASE

One star because it isn't any better than the other dictionaries out there, has a cluttered homescreen that would be more appropriate on a social media app than a dictionary, an offline button that isn't clear whether it is actually online or offline and, finally, a banner constantly asking for a 5-star review.

Thank you for discount and this amazing application! After Merriam Webster was hard to work with it at the beginning, but now it's more preferred for me application for finding definition on the words. It's actually more easy for using. I definitely recommended this application!

It's a pity that the audio quality in such a great dictionary is worse than in other English dictionaries. I don't think also that "Ox. En. Dict." is a good-looking name.

Saved words I wanted to remember as favourites and now I find that when I click on one of the words, it takes me to a different one! Shocking for an app this expensive

Great content poorly presented. The app has a disappointingly basic interface layout with an inflexible (unresizable and borderline illegible) widget.

Brill app, especially the etymology bit, always fascinating and illuminating to see where the roots of words come from and what the parts of words can mean.

Does not send notifications of new words each day, I'm surprised since it was a paid app. You would expect these sort of issues from a free app!!

Needs better integration with apps in order to look up from within as opposed to changing windows to copy/paste. Overall happy with it.

No thesaurus?! And, lots of ad trackers for a paid app! WordWeb is better, it has no ad trackers and free, mind you!

I like the etymologies given. It helps remember the original meaning of the word. Also, unlike the American dictionaries, which just give current usage, right or wrong, the OED tells one what the usage is SUPPOSED to be. (I ignore the OED spellings, of course.)

Bought it in Feb 2019, but could not use it: keeps asking for downloading the definitions but when I have ok_ed it,' d tell you the size to download is 0.00mb and nothing would happen. Asked for tech support but no reply whatsoever: is this how Mobi system scams PEOPLE? NOTE that very importantly this company don't update their apps...

When I downloaded the offline mode it automatically deletes it,by storage booster(samsung in built app) so i cann't use it even i purchased the full version..I have already told them by email ,they are not listening to me...

The oxford dictionary is very good but I have big problem. I had paid and downloaded it but I can't keep offline mode always.if I want to get offline mode with app then I have to always always download offline mode to use.this is really disappointing.i was always 🤒😪 always downloading that offline mode when I was needing that app.i am feeling stress too..😢😢😢😢😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪

Great dictionary, not so great app. Word definition and word examples are jumbled, saved favorite word ordering malfunctions.
