The layout and ease of use seems to come from circa 1994. It feels like they did research on how best to make it difficult to read. -- Archisavvy, 2025-04-09 ### *---- "Crashes Before I Can Activate" App crashes before I can do anything with it. Will stay open for about 6-8 seconds and then close. Tried deleting, repowering the phone, doing both, reloading the app, etc. using the latest iPhone model, and fully up-to-date on the operating system. Will check back later and see if you get any updates that will keep the app open long enough to be able to activate it. -- Tjorth, 2025-01-18 ### *---- "Can’t even open app" The app crashes a few seconds after opening and I can’t even read through a full screen without having to reopen it. Apparently the app can’t even be used unless you buy their service too. I deleted this a few minutes after the download since I can’t seem to get through the login and set up without it crashing. -- layla's mommy, 2025-01-09 ### ***-- "It tends to crash" I like that I can look words up quickly. I do not like that it is buggy and crashes when I am looking up several words in a row. -- TucsonIsHot, 2024-12-26 ### *---- "Freezes" This app is unreliable. It always freezes then I have to force quit out of the app. It is way more hassle and less of a useful tool. -- Lobo Preto 2+5, 2024-11-13 ### *---- "American Heritage Dictionary" They’ve forced an upgrade and are demanding nearly $14.00 to access it, even if you’re already bought the app. There’s a free version online that works just fine for anything most people would want. -- nicksstupid, 2024-11-02 ### *---- "Crashes" Crashes about 7 seconds after opening. Every. Single. Time. -- bluewaterak, 2024-10-21 ### ***** "Still the best!" At the age of 21 in 1971, I bought my first American Heritage Dictionary. It was huge and very heavy in its original paper format. But I loved its derivations, including its Indo-European roots, which were a unique feature. I am now 74, and the AHD has been a constant companion in my life’s journey of the pursuit of knowledge, albeit the second-hand knowledge of others related through their words. Language is the symbolization of effort, and knowing the respective meanings of those symbols has made all the difference! -- adobephile, 2024-09-23 ### *---- "Download is Free !" Download is free, however after downloading the first screen you are greeted with is a "Pay Me" Screen. I believe it should be stated on the page before the download. In App purchase is Ok but not for the base product. -- MrChefDave, 2024-09-15 [View all American Heritage Dictionary 5 reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## American Heritage Dictionary 5 In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | AHD5 -activation | $13.99 | | AHD4-user discount | $14.99 | | Roget's II: The New Thesaurus | $4.99 | ## Apps Similar to American Heritage Dictionary 5 -
