I just love the app.. .. The app has only those words .. which are most commonly used in academic writing ... which one would frequently encounter in various articles in journals, newspapers etc .. .. . A very good app for Advanced Learners .. ..
One star for a very simple reason: this app misleads people into thinking that it's free. It is only after you install the app that you realise you need to buy it. It's called scam, or "a clever and dishonest plan for making money", as it's defined in the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary.
Oxford Dictionaries don't need any rating or recommendations! Oxford compilations are all one of a kind with an authoritative expertise, accuracy of information, offering an abundance of knowledge!!!
Great content, but the app requires an urgent update, as the experience of scrolling down or up a page is not smooth, but boring.
No stars, tmbut this application didn't allow me to oroceed inless I have them a star, so basically you dont have much options, it is not free, then I can go to store a buy actual Dictionary for that money Even public posts doesn't have a option to right negative comments, you have to give them at least one star... Big no
Oxford is misleading innocent people and earning money fraudulently. I purchase this application by spending more than 2500 rupees now application is saying that your Android version is updated and this application will not work properly in this version.
An excellent application for student of English language. Love it so much.

Does not include 7 out of 10 words that I encounter in a philosophy paper. I thought this was an academic dictionary when I paid $32.
Very well explained and maintained dictionary
I think this app will help enhance people finding difficulties in their english studies
Wow, it is not free? I thought the in app purchase is removing ads or sth. lmao.
You better to make this price less and worthful.Then it would become real appreciation between you and the academics .
Good dictionary for English.
I want to buy 9th edition that is favourite to me. Plz send me a link.
Why is this dictionary so expensive. Students from third world countries hard to afford it
THIS IS REALLY A GREAT APP. I THINK YOU SHOULD INSTALL IT TOO
Please update this app for the latest Android version.
I want to buy this dictionary. But buying limit given by DCB is 2000 to 2500. Any way to sell it in two installments?
I can't believe you need to buy the app. OMG. 1 star rating for you
fantastic to say the least.
convenience to use
I like this app n it is good too
When i tried to open, it said it needed access to a lot of things i don't like it to. Then it said 'this app was designed for an older version of Android. Denying its access to these...may cause it no longer fuction as intended.' This same notice also appeared on Thesaurus! OUP please provide buyers with these apps designed for newest version of Android! Please help!
