As in all his Oxford dictionaries, Dr. Moore is attuned to new currents in Australian language and usage. He includes a full range of neologisms, especially the protean language of younger Australians and of computing and electronic communication. This is not just a dictionary for scholars and pedants. It reveals our changing language in up-to-date and entertaining ways, and it will be an essential reference for the new millennium. ___________________ This application is distributed with the written permission of Diotek and Oxford University Press. ___________________ The Australian Oxford Dictionary is much more than some collection of antipodean colloquialisms, but is a learned study of the wider sphere of the English language.

I am offended because I allowed the AOD app access to twitter without really questioning why it would need/want access to twitter and it sent a tweet from my account saying that I am a software thief. I have a legitimate copy. Rude. Update: I received a reply from the developer EIGHT YEARS later saying the bug “was fixed within 24 hours”. Amazing. Update 2: Developer replied “Just clearing up the facts”. Sure, but the fact still remains this developer did the most irresponsible and despicable thing I’ve ever encountered an iOS developer do - ever. -- adrianlynch, 2021-04-05 ### ****- "Original post about IOS8 support answered in an iOS 14 world !" Original post from years ago, received note today that issue was fixed all that time ago, but guards what?! Thanks for getting back to me Dev, as I have now reinstalled the app, it’s working and I have changed my score. 👍 Have used reliably for years but hasn't worked since iOS 8. Crashes when try to search, no updates to engine for years now😠 so not holding out much hope of a solution -- anaithesceal, 2021-03-24 ### *---- "Can no longer use dictionary" Appalled by the company. The app worked okay for a year but for the past 6 months I have only had it working intermittently. I have had two interactions with support staff, both requiring detailed complex information from, including emailing the receipt to prove I'd bought the dictionary! For goodness sake how hard can it be to keep a simple dictionary app running. Strongly advise against this company. -- FlyingStefan, 2015-03-12 ### *---- "It can not use" I spent $31.99 for this app and I can not use it. How can I get my money back??? -- Sara Tran, 2015-03-01 ### *---- "Such a shame" I have used this app for years but since the iOS8 update it crashes every time I want to search. And as a dictionary, it's pretty useless if you can't search for anything. Such a shame. This used to be an awesome app. I hope it gets fixed soon. -- Ricki958, 2015-02-22 ### *---- "The second severe bug in less than a year. DISAPPOINTING." After having lost all my bookmarks some months ago after an update, now I'm plagued by a notification which says "Continue". It appears every few minutes and it's related to the audio file download. When I acces the screen where you download the audio file, it does not allow me to resume the download (or to abort it, in case it's running: this is not clear, because there is no progress bar and no information about it) so the notifications just keep coming. This app is disappointing. -- Mastazi, 2012-12-26 ### *---- "Avoid this app" Because my previous review was deleted due to alleged TOS violations, I'd like to reword it. This app has a built-in anti-piracy mechanism which posts, without the user's consent, with their Twitter account, "outing" them as a software pirate. This system recently had a bug which caused this system to spring into action for paying customers like myself, which also, for a time, rendered the app useless until the "bug" was fixed. As a result, I recommend people avoid apps by this developer. -- Horseloverfat88, 2012-12-19 ### *---- "It's a waste of money" It's definitions are poor and sparse in examples and explanation. The macquarie dictionary is in another (excellent) universe by comparison. Go there instead. -- tamajamma, 2012-11-15 ### *---- "Reprehensible anti-piracy checks" This version posts libellous (and incorrect) claims on users' Twitter accounts claiming that the user has pirated the product. As a legitimate purchaser of this app, I am disgusted by Enfour's behaviour regarding this most recent update and piracy checks. Not only is the piracy checking code wrong, but the developer has no right to post libellous public comments about its own users. I won't be buying any more Enfour products. -- WzDD, 2012-11-13 ### *---- "Frozen screen on the search box" Time to time I have this problem and even after updated problem still exists. -- Amir Riahi, 2012-11-07 ### ****- "Good dictionary please fix software thief notification!" I keep getting the notification: " I am a software thief!" when I have bought this app from iTunes. -- karinaschofield, 2012-11-01 ### *---- "Software thief????" I too am getting this notification constantly on my iPhone. I am very annoyed about it. I have paid a lot of money to get this app. I do not appreciate the offensive notifications. -- OKernel, 2012-11-01 ### *---- "Good app but got abusive notification." I got a notification from the app saying 'I am a software thief!' when I have bought this app. I find this offensive. -- vutuannguyen, 2012-10-31 ### ***** "Great dictionary." Love this app but latest version on 4th gen ipod touch with ios 5.1.1 is constantly showing 'run in safe mode' error msg and crashing. Please fix. Also, still no landscape keyboard. -- Clintoxxhj, 2012-10-04 ### *---- "AOD" The update will not load and the whole app is unavailable! Not good enough for a $32 purchase. -- Peter 82, 2012-06-07 ### **--- "Could be much better" The dictionary works well enough, but definitions are somewhat lacking - Illustrative examples are few and far between, which is disappointing. Also, the version of the dictionary used seems several years out of date and lacking in lots of proper nouns and persons of note that could be expected in even a single dictionary (Australian Prime Ministers, for e.g.). Oxford should do better for $25, I think this is a much reduced version of the single volume print version. -- Nick..., 2012-04-01 ### **--- "Large file short on content, out of date" This is at least the second time where we have downloaded the entire massive 220Meg word database without any content updates. The latest words that are included in the official Oxford dictionary such as "tweet", "muggle" or "cyberbullying" are still missing from this digital dictionary. 2004 seems to be the last update. No updates to the political section, which still has John Howard as the Prime minister of Australia 1996-, George Bush as the current US president, Tony Blair running the UK etc. This is not a cheap dictionary and for the money and from people who lay claims to the Oxford name you should expect better. This offering remains a weak effort and brings shame to Oxford. There are free/cheaper dictionaries that hold equivalent content to this dictionary. -- neoporcupine, 2011-10-08 [View all Australian Oxford Dictionary reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Australian Oxford Dictionary In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Oxford Thesaurus | $14.99 | | Companion Thesaurus | $2.99 | ## Australian Oxford Dictionary Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Australia | Education | #249 | ## Australian Oxford Dictionary Discovered Keywords - australian oxford dictionary ## Australian Oxford Dictionary Available In - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/australian-oxford-dictionary-vLbe/australia) - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/australian-oxford-dictionary-vLbe/united-states) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/australian-oxford-dictionary-vLbe/japan) - [Grenada](https://apptail.io/app/australian-oxford-dictionary-vLbe/grenada) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/australian-oxford-dictionary-vLbe/iceland) - [Jamaica](https://apptail.io/app/australian-oxford-dictionary-vLbe/jamaica) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/australian-oxford-dictionary-vLbe/canada) - [Latvia](https://apptail.io/app/australian-oxford-dictionary-vLbe/latvia) - [Namibia](https://apptail.io/app/australian-oxford-dictionary-vLbe/namibia) - [Estonia](https://apptail.io/app/australian-oxford-dictionary-vLbe/estonia) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
