Will let you see a fraction of the words in the actual dictionary

By WazeSir (Pcmac user)

I have been a huge fan of AHD for a number of decades and downloaded this app, in hopes that it could offer features available in the print edition. I do like the "Word of the day" feature, when it actually displays the word, but, as it is with the rest of this app, you will not often be able to see either the word or the definition. The app does not proceed to an actual definition when searching for a word; it will simply "suggest" the word it thinks you are wanting to see. There is no functionality beyond that. This has been a very disappointing app, and especially to a devoted user of AHD, it is only a few steps above worthless. Very sad. I never wanted to consider a competitor's product, but may be forced to do so, including looking elsewhere for a desktop computer version. That product is well beyond worthless, and in fact can do literal damage to your computer (they offer downloads, but numerous disclaimers that protect them from liability, because their downloads are laden with viruses, which they acknowledge). Shame on you, producers of one of the best dictionaries of all time, for creating such poor products. I hope you will once again create a great dictionary, in an electronic version, but I have a distinct feeling that those days are gone.
Misleading and Unethical

By AuntLucy69 (Pcmac user)

I love this app, but it’s reviews here are not credible. Often, when I use the app, an intrusive box pops up demanding that I give the app a five star rating. I suppose to get rid of this intrusion I’m to click and comply. I won’t do it, and so have to work past this dishonest, unethical scheme. I really do like the app - just not the people selling it.
Five Star Review

By Dashbach (Pcmac user)

You are very far from five stars. You are nothing more than a desk top dictionary. You forget that you are competing with google and the free dictionary by Farlex. If I can’t spell a word correctly you are no help. Your history and usage of words is skimpy. You make me pay an exorbitant fee periodically to continue to use your app. You are slow sometimes and your request for a five star review every time I open your ap is annoying. Remember I paid as much to use your app as to purchase a hard bound dictionary. For the price I expected a fairly extensive history of words
Excellent

By KennethWDavis (Pcmac user)

Although I used Webster’s Collegiate when I taught copyediting, I always told my university students that for other purposes, AH is the most useful dictionary out there—especially for its, biographical and geographical content, its usage notes, its supplementary essays, and its etymologies. As an iOS app, AH has a terrible history, but this version finally gets it right. And it’s graphically beautiful.
