Great dictionary
The content and the definitions are great but the app has room for improvement. Going back doesn’t work with iOS back gesture which makes it a hassle to have to tap on the back button which is far far away from the tip of your thumb. It’s also not quick to get back to the search box once you are in the definition page. Tapping on the pronunciation button doesn’t always pronounce the word and instantly selects the text! But apparent from these the app has a way to restore the purchase and once you paid you don’t have to pay again unlike some reviews stated.
Stoppoed supporting previous version!!
I bought This dictionary in 2015 for second time as their previous paid version stopped working. I updated my OS Today and to my surprise they’ve done it again! They have stopped the 2015 version as well and releases a new version! I have spent more than $45 on this dictionary so far and they expect me to repurchase it again!!! They have no morals!!
Fools, they should be banned of doing such scam
They should be banned by apple store, first they fooled you to download and later in app they say you to purchase to see the meaning. I mean you guys are that poor, there are some who provides free of access to dictionaries, even in learnings you guy’s trying to earn a money, shame on you poor fellows
Cheaters
Bought this app before, They decided not to update the app compatible with new IOS! Released new app. Is that fair Mr Cambridge?
Good definitions
Like the simple definitions but cannot work out why some of the words in the sample sentences are bonded when not related to the word itself. Why are they bold?
Why?
Purchased the app around 2017 and now it’s not working.
If I could I’d give a 0
The app itself is really nice and works fine. But if something goes wrong, don’t expect help. I bought a new iphone and wanted to transfer this app from my old iphone. It never transfers. All apps did transfer no problem and this one did not. The customer service takes forever to reply and when they do they simply want you to buy the app again.
Go to competitor app - the Oxford one, that one works perfectly.
Not downloading data
I have bought this dictionary.
It does not download the data!!!
My device: 14 pro max, ios16
Could you please help me?
Most stupid dictionary ever !!
Never have i ever seen a dictionary requiring money just to give the definition . If any body is reading this dont waste your time nor your money oxford dictionary is way better
Dishonest Practice
I bought an earlier version at full price a few years ago around $45. They stopped supporting the app I paid and asked user to make purchase again...
