Intentional app rating scheme is unforgivable

By ML77&& (Pcmac user)

This is about the sixth time I've bought the the app Heritage dictionary as a book, a paperback, 30 floppy discs, a book with an app on CD, an iOS app, and now the newer iOS app since the previous version "aged out." Sadly, I bought it a few days after iOS 10 — and it won't run. I hope its fixed soon so I can concentrate on having a high quality, offline, robustly featured dictionary of authority at my fingertips. Update: The app was updated to run in iOS 10, allowing me to use it and to discover an unforgivable characteristic of the app. Nearly every time I go to use it, a pop up appears over the screen; it gives you two options: rate the app five stars, or choose "not yet." In other words, it presents a situation where you can give the app the highest possible review, or no review at that moment — meaning that you'll be asked this question over and over again. I assume the only way to turn this irritating thing off is to rate the app five stars. It doesn't deserve five stars — for this one "feature" alone, it deserves zero stars. Shame on Houghton Mifflin, the dictionary's publisher, for allowing MobiSystem, Inc. to denigrate their reputable dictionary with such a cheap ploy in a premium-priced app.
Disappointing Implementation

By Erik Steinmetz (Pcmac user)

I love the AH dictionary and have many copies in paper and electronically. This implementation, though it contains all the content, is disappointing from a user interface perspective. The pestering dialog to rate the app (apparently only as five stars) never gives up even after you have declined to do so many times over years of use. The limited choice of color themes (only four) are all too bright, disallowing any subdued choices. The navigation design is especially poor in the special portions such as trying to browse the appendices or looking through the index of tables: the upper-left back button alternatively brings you back to the location from which you arrived (correct) or simply the item listed immediately before the one you’re currently looking at (incorrect). I hope that this developer can start paying attention to details, or that AH passes its app along to someone else (for which I would happily pay again given this app’s shortcomings)
So far so good.

By Nsxlane (Pcmac user)

I’ve only had this app for a short period, but I have always been a fan of the the app Heritage Dictionary. The word histories are great. Just yesterday, I used it around the family dinner table when my kids had a question about how a skillet was different than a pan. I grew up in the Midwest using the word skillet and now live in the northeast where the word pan (or frying pan) is used. I didn’t know if skillet and pan were the same or if maybe a skillet was a specific type of pan. AHD’s word history resolved this for us. Look it up yourself to find out the answer :-)
Frustrating Flaws in App Implementation

By wcronon (Pcmac user)

Like many others who have commented, I'm a longtime fan of the AH Dictionary, and have had to purchase it numerous times, at considerable expense, as it has migrated from app to app. Like others, I'm very annoyed by the repeated request to rate the app with 5 stars, which is absolutely ridiculous for a responsible software maker. The bigger problem, though, is that while traveling in Europe recently I discovered that the app refused to open if I wasn't logged on to the Internet...which defeats the whole purpose of carrying an offline dictionary on one's phone. PLEASE allow this app to work even when one is connected to the Internet!!! This is a HUGE bug that truly needs fixing.
