I love this app

By LizzieB823 (Pcmac user)

It's wonderful having a dictionary this detailed and thorough at my fingertips. I work for a company that writes language arts curriculum, and between work used and looking things up on my own as I'm reading for pleasure, I often use it multiple times per day. It is one of my favorite apps. I loved using the Complete 20-volume OED in college and grad school and being able to see how the usage and meaning of words has changed over the centuries, so it’s amazing to be able to now carry access to The the app OED - not quite as comprehensive, but still more thorough than most dictionaries and a wealth of information about English words - in my pocket! For me, having a dictionary this reliable and comprehensive, with no ads, with substantial offline offerings, has been well worth the price.
Good dic

By Benomtad (Pcmac user)

Good dictionary! I think the price I paid is well worth it. I use it several days a week and am satisfied almost every time. I do use other dictionaries in conjunction, but with this version of OED I am able to go deeper and even longer (due to the numerous definitions and example sentences that lead to further research). It’s not merely a tool to pull out when I’m at a loss for words or when I’m stuck speechless, bewildered by a colleague’s infernal anachronism. It’s also a thing of joy; I get such pleasure from how it lubricates my tongue and pen and aids my lingual bursts. It’s multifariously stimulating: this dic keeps me perked up, intellectually of course, and I imagine its wiles will keep me coming for many years.
Contents almost exhaustive but juvenile interface

By TurtleJogger (Pcmac user)

I LOVE the extensive vocabulary—probably unmatched in any app. HOWEVER, I really HATE the juvenile/unprofessional interface. Having happy baby stars look at me each time I open the app is disheartening (if not annoying). The layout could look much less juvenile as well. I don't know why it bothers me so much, perhaps it is just that the design is very outdated. As I said, however, the contents is almost exhaustive and that is the most important thing.
Excellent app!

By Calvin & Luther fan (Pcmac user)

I have other dictionaries, but for a number of words I am looking up, (and I enjoy reading older texts such as the Early Greek Fathers) this is the only one which will have the word's definition. You have to get rid of the apps as they are annoying and cumbersome, so go with the upgrade. The word of the day must be randomly generated because the words they choose are sometimes basic or a spelling derivations of another word (and that is all the info provided on that word, the alternate spelling.)
