American Heritage Dictionary 5

The program insults the customers who have purchased the software. Never buy again from Enfour Inc.

The dictionary is okay. Not okay is that it keeps telling me that I am a software thief although I have paid for this program. Please fix this !

ok, but buy the book first to be able to use this

There are so many bugs in this software that it is a disgrace. The search function does not work if you tap on words in the definitions. It says there is "no such entry". Of course, the entries are really there, but the hyperlinking seems to be broken. There are also many other problems. For example if a word in the definition has a footnote so that it also has a small number set as an exponent (eg house1 where the 1 is raised), then tapping on that word will enter "house1" into the search field, which is not a word and cannot be found. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Even if the dictionary itself is ok, the app is junk and a rip off. The rip off part is for two reasons: for 20 euros it is fair to expect a high quality app, but this is simply low quality, untested junk. Second, the policy of only permitting one single mobile device is in conflict with every other piece of software i have bought and absolutely intolerable. DO NOT BUY

Longtime user but now it doesn’t work Reloaded from App Store. Still broken Can’t input word. Doesn’t get that far. Loads screen to warn of in app purchase and then crashes. Let’s get it fixed please.

I’d like to see more in-depth definitions, with sample sentences that employ the meaning of the word being researched. Antonyms could be listed at the bottom of each completed entry as well…with more sample sentences, as well. I miss the old-school dictionaries, (American Heritage, Oxford), that employed this expanded format. Allow the nuances of words to be understood.

Excellent, quick reference speed for all research needs. Quality excellent. Use many times for daily research on word background information.

My favorite app.

I thoroughly enjoy and use this dictionary almost daily. I prefer off-line dictionaries for the specific reason that they are off-line. It’s available to me all the time. This dictionary is the best one that is available and provides me with all the details that I want. When I look up the word, I don’t want to just know the meaning I want to know a bit about it. This dictionary goes above and beyond. The company is strongly supporting it, which makes me very happy. Recently, there was a problem that turned out to be a bug in the operating system. The company and Apple fix it very quickly and so now I have my Dictionary back. As I want to be writer, this is one of the best tools I have.

I was on the 17 beta, but dropped back to the regular iOS17 to see if maybe it was 17 beta breaking it. AHeD was still broken. Maybe my resetting my iOS to non-beta didn’t really take. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway, I got a reply from the developer today (blaming my problems for being on the beta iOS)… 🙄 But I discovered that they actually fixed it for both iOS17 and iOS17beta!! Yay!! 👍 Good job, Enfour! Thanks! ———————————————————— Old review: As usual, Apple made 10,000 changes to iOS, undoubtedly for more twattokbook crap, that broke everything else; and the developer of the best dictionary software ever made can’t be bothered to download the developer preview iOS, and recompile its software so that it Just Works. The program still runs, it lets you type in a word, but then the screen goes blank. No definitions. Also, all my bookmarks are invisible too. At least they’re not *gone*! But come on enfour! Recompile this program, so it works properly under iOS 17!!😩
