Utterly broken

By mtumatsci (Pcmac user)

The latest update broke this app completely. You can search or browse for words, but no entry appears. Does anyone even try this stuff out before they ship it?
Bookmarks issues

By E10209 (Pcmac user)

this is the worst app every, keeps loosing the bookmarks...
A great dictionary app for college students

By TheSporkWithin (Pcmac user)

Sure, there are a number of free dictionary apps out there, but they don't have the quality editorial work that can be found in the the app Heritage dictionary. This dictionary gives far more information than any of the others I've used, offering things like first-known-use date and root language, along with deprecated and archaic meanings and connotations of words. As an English student, these features are invaluable. Add in the very nice navigation, search and bookmarking, along with the excellent appendices about language families and pronunciation, and you have an app that is truly excellent. Highly recommended for any college student studying English. Also a note to anyone complaining about the cost of upgrading to the new version: say I buy a copy of the fifth edition of this dictionary in a bookstore. A few years later, the sixth comes out, offering new words, new appendices, and a lot of new editorial work. I do not expect the publisher to offer me a free copy of the sixth edition since I already own the fifth. This is what you are expecting when you demand a free upgrade from the fourth edition app to the fifth edition app. That you seem to think you are entitled to this is just... silly.
A lot can happen in ten years

By rbane (Pcmac user)

The AHD4 was published in 2000, and the language has changed in the eleven years it took to produce a new edition. I love the "look and feel" of the new app and content. Before upgrading, I wrote to Enfour support about the thesaurus issue (it's included in AHD4 Deluxe but not in this upgrade), and found out that a) if you have both apps, touching a word brings up a menu which can take you to the AHD4 thesaurus and back, and b) a free upgrade is coming that will fold the two into one again. Scrolling to the bottom of the description of AHD5 it mentions this and also that there will be a way to transfer bookmarks from AHD4, for those who wrote about that not working. I used AHD4 all the time and expect I will continue to do so with AHD5, only with more up-to-date language usage, more example sentences, etc. The only thing is that the pronunciations still seem to have some static; nevertheless they seem faster and clearer than those in the AHD4.
