Oxford Deluxe (InApp購入版)

2009年に￥6000円で買って、ずっと愛用していて2012年末のアップデートを最後にITSから消えていた辞書。調子が悪くなったのでiPadに再インストールしようと思ったら消えていて。デベロッパーにWhat's going on? 〜　と問い合わせたら、We are just having some problems with our account right now. Please bear with us while we sort it out.という返事があった。幸いMacには本体が残っていたので、そのデータでメールの言うとおり耐えて待っていたら復活した。何か契約上か何かの問題があったのだろうか？しかし、文句なく良い辞書APPです。旧バージョンが6000だったので、￥1200円も特になってます。旧バージョンを開くとアップグレードのアナウンスがでるけどもiPadでは新バージョンの自動ダウンロードはできませんでした。だけど天下の英国英語の金字塔　ODE (Oxford English Dictionary…けどFull Revision の600,000 words入ってるのでしょうかねこれ？)にシソーラスOTEもついて重宝な辞書なので、☆５つ。音声は英米を両方を再生できる　cambridge advanced learner's dictionaryとちがい、British一筋です。Americanを勉強する人は注意。（Oxford とつく場合、Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus PROもBrishtish sampleだけなので注意ですよ、デベロッパーに確認しました）。ITSから消えてしまって「アップデートもされないなら　本家　Oxford University Press が出しているOALD（oxford advanced learner’s dictionary of english）　を買うしかないか〜と思って、そっちを買うつもりだったので、買う前に新バージョンに気付いて良かった。ただOALD音声再生機能を試して観たいので、この後、買ってみようと思う。

The user interface is unwieldy, non-intuitive and confusing. I paid for it but I’m dumping it

As an octogenarian at this stage in my life, I look back to the days when as a young school boy my dad always spoke of the “Murray’s Oxford” as the ultimate lexicon to refer to. Things have not changed. When you refer to it, you know it is the ultimate. How delighted I was when my granddaughter a few years ago, when she was still not ten, asked me for a dictionary. What did I give her. You guessed the answer correctly! Why, of course the Oxford dictionary. She is a voracious reader and refers to it all of the time. Cyrus Kapadia.

Shows as a 1 time purchase yet will give one word and puts you back to the purchase screen after each word?

Every single time I use this app I have to restore my purchase first. If you're intent on trying this app before you buy try this version but then uninstall it and just buy the full version rather than using the in app purchase. The dictionary is absolutely worth the price, but version of the app is pathetic. The in app purchase technology is clearly far beyond the capabilities of the illustrious intellects at Oxford.

This easy-to-use dictionary is so helpful as I strive to find the right word for every occasion and to understand other word to enhance the flavor of my vocabulary. Thanks for a wonderful dictionary!

Easy to understand even I am not native speaker. Efficient.Ramon

This app is a fabulous learning tool that gives the user easy access to a quality dictionary. The flashcard feature save the time of compiling lists outside the app. Twenty-five USD is a lot to ask, but I am oh so temped to oblige. Update 070223: After a dozen or so entries searched, the app has locked her treasures away.

I love this app and use it all the time. It is convenient and easy to navigate. I am grateful to have access to the wealth of knowledge so readily available through using this app.

App Store purchase went through. Connection failed message appeared when app was beginning the installation. App Support link takes me to a ‘This site can’t be reached’.
