I use a dictionary everyday and have had to go to the web for my dictionary needs. Please fix version 4. Today, the best dictionary reigns again. Thank you for the update, now, all is calm, all is bright. -- portales, 2023-01-30 ### ***** "Awesome dictionary." An education in the English language. Great definitions, sometimes including useful pictures to illustrate the concept, and (as far as I’ve found) always having a button to give audio pronunciation of the word. Includes surprisingly useful background in how the dictionary is developed, history of the English language, and a comprehensive listing of Indo-European roots… that I didn’t realize would be useful to have til I’d been using this dictionary for a few years! NOTE - this version of the dictionary is MUCH better than the other one available as an app… I got confused and thought support for this version had been dropped and bought the other one… really a shadow of the value! -- RtfFan, 2023-01-29 ### *---- "This app is broke again" Not working on iPad Pro 11” (2020). When you open the app, you get a flash screen that says “total failure” before sending you to the App Store. Please fix. -- BassaBoy, 2023-01-25 ### ***** "AHD" Very useful -- JMIT45, 2022-10-14 ### ***** "A Great App!" I remember paying for this dictionary a couple of years ago and am so happy that it’s being updated to work with newer iOS updates. Thank You to the developers and the software company! If you need a dictionary, this app is a great choice. Believe me, I’ve tried most of them. -- KinoBruin, 2022-10-08 ### ****- "Great Word Tool" A dictionary is always good to have by your side. Even at this time. The syllables allow a person to know how to pronounce a word and the definitions are thorough and up to date. Great tool! -- Phil the Pil, 2022-08-08 ### ***** "I am very grateful this is still supported." Bought this app a decade ago. Still works. Perhaps a better interface and faster then newer dictionary apps. Very impressed. -- scegf0d, 2021-11-27 ### *---- "American Heritage Dictionary" I bought this dictionary in 2010 and used it almost daily until I updated it a few days ago. It now won’t let me into the app, popping me right back to the menu. -- dickjonesis10, 2021-04-24 ### ***** "Love this Dictionary" Back then this was the most expensive thing i bought on the iPhone , i think it was $30 and 9 or ten years ago was a lot of money . I remember it took me a long time to download because i was downloading it over 3g and it was a lot of MBs and 3g was slow back then . Thanks for keep updating this classic . -- Soljie, 2020-12-31 ### *---- "Great Dictionary" But every time I try to use it, it puts up a pop up box to get me to rate it five stars. -- WaltGom, 2020-06-04 ### **--- "Latest version crashes on iPhone 11" Un fortunately the version pushed on 12/6/19 crashes when opened. This is an amazing dictionary and I am sure it will be corrected promptly. Thanks for the best iOS dictionary! -- Dalerich, 2019-12-07 ### ***** "Glad to see this still supported and available" This app was ecpensive, and even though there's a 5th edition it is very honorable for them to keep this ok the App Store and especially to keep updating. This shows loyalty to their customers. And the app itself is amazing!!! -- istuart45, 2017-03-21 ### *---- "No longer works with current iOS" The app needs to be updated to work with current iOS. APP crashes and will not load. -- Incite1527, 2015-09-29 ### ***** "Happy to have great app back" By far my favorite dictionary app. So glad it's been upgraded to support IOS 8 -- Audiophile 202, 2015-03-09 ### ***** "Finally, Finally, Finally" Finally! -- Jim NY, 2015-03-06 ### ***** "AHD4E" Awesome dictionary! Thanks for fixing! -- Nomad16, 2015-03-04 ### ***** "iOS 8 support finally!" I'd given up hope on this app, happy to have it. -- bryceco, 2015-03-04 ### *---- "Paid $25 for app that doesn’t work" Ever since iOS8, this app (4th Edition) has crashed any time I went to the search window. I wrote the authors, and they told me “too bad, so sad, we don’t plan to fix that bug, buy the 5th edition for $25” I asked about an upgrade deal, and since I bought the app when it first came out, I am not eligible for an upgrade, and apparently not eligible for a working app either. I was excited to see a recent update, thinking they might have fixed the iOS8 issue, but no, they were adding support for some Evernote stuff, not support for the current iOS. Don’t waste your money, there are tons of FREE dictionary web sites out there. This has even soured me on their paper version, I'll never buy one of those again. -- Rob_Reich, 2015-02-16 ### *---- "Also bitten by the "thief" bug" Which is insulting, annoying, and betrays a comical lack of quality control. It also underscores a perennial problem with this app: >500MB updates to fix small portions of code. They really should devise a better way to separate the code from the dictionary data. -- Aaron in Brooklyn, 2012-12-31 [View all American Heritage® Dictionary reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## American Heritage® Dictionary In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Roget's II Thesaurus | $4.99 | ## American Heritage® Dictionary Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Greece | Reference | #62 | | Top Paid | Hong Kong SAR China | Reference | #63 | | Top Paid | Thailand | Reference | #65 | | Top Paid | South Korea | Reference | #67 | | Top Paid | Peru | Reference | #67 | | Top Paid | Poland | Reference | #71 | | Top Paid | Portugal | Reference | #74 | | Top Paid | Egypt | Reference | #77 | | Top Paid | Hungary | Reference | #78 | | Top Paid | Philippines | Reference | #79 | | Top Paid | Singapore | Reference | #82 | | Top Paid | Brazil | Reference | #82 | | Top Paid | Taiwan | Reference | #87 | | Top Paid | Saudi Arabia | Reference | #88 | | Top Paid | Czechia | Reference | #93 | | Top Paid | Türkiye | Reference | #95 | | Top Paid | Japan | Reference | #97 | | Top Paid | Colombia | Reference | #102 | | Top Paid | Italy | Reference | #104 | | Top Paid | Indonesia | Reference | #105 | | Top Paid | Argentina | Reference | #110 | | Top Paid | Romania | Reference | #111 | | Top Paid | United Arab Emirates | Reference | #113 | | Top Paid | Kuwait | Reference | #114 | | Top Paid | India | Reference | #115 | | Top Paid | Spain | Reference | #118 | | Top Paid | Mexico | Reference | #126 | | Top Paid | Dominican Republic | Reference | #142 | | Top Paid | France | Reference | #143 | | Top Paid | Finland | Reference | #146 | | Top Paid | Vietnam | Reference | #163 | | Top Paid | Russia | Reference | #171 | | Top Paid | Pakistan | Reference | #182 | | Top Paid | Sweden | Reference | #191 | | Top Paid | Canada | Reference | #199 | | Top Paid | Norway | Reference | #213 | | Top Paid | Ecuador | Reference | #217 | | Top Paid | Malaysia | Reference | #242 | | Top Paid | Denmark | Reference | #247 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Reference | #248 | | Top Paid | Germany | Reference | #287 | | Top Paid | Chile | Reference | #293 | | Top Paid | Switzerland | Reference | #308 | | Top Paid | Austria | Reference | #322 | | Top Paid | Australia | Reference | #323 | | Top Paid | United States | Reference | #335 | | Top Paid | Ireland | Reference | #369 | | Top Paid | Lebanon | Reference | #410 | | Top Paid | New Zealand | Reference | #417 | | Top Paid | South Africa | Reference | #427 | | Top Paid | Netherlands | Reference | #441 | | Top Paid | Israel | Reference | #442 | ## American Heritage® Dictionary Discovered Keywords -
