Function able app!

I bought this app in the beginning of 2022 it was having bad problems when I first got it but ever since then no problems at all whatsoever whatever they did they fixed the app crashing problem. The new update is really cool they added the AI to the selection of choices. I use this dictionary daily it is very useful it gives the root word meaning of where the word came from in its original language. I highly recommend this app your getting more than your moneys worth.

Oxford Deluxe

This was the best purchase! I reference the dictionary and thesaurus on a regular basis for almost everything. I love having the ability to better utilize language.

Dysfunctional app

I am a huge fan off this app but sadly I can no longer use it it kicks me out of the app to purchase another dictionary I do not understand why I can’t use the app I own and purchased if someone could help me please this is a very good dictionary.

Total failure messages fixed

Twice in recent weeks the app became completely unusable displaying a ‘total failure’ message upon opening it. Fortunately the developers fixed that bug both times within ten days.

Fixed “Total Failure”

Thank you for Fixing the total failure issue. It’s working again. Special thank you to the developers for keeping up with the changes required to maintain the app. This is still the best dictionary in the App Store.

App crashes with “Total Failure” error message and is unusable

As other reviewers have experienced, I paid in full but app crashes with “Total Failure” error message and is unusable.

App displays “Total Failure” and opens the App Store for some reason.

I paid $25 for this app, and now for some reason, it is completely unusable on new iPad Mini with iPadOS 16.2

After the update - the app is wonderful again.

After the update, I am back to rating this app A+++++. I use multiple dictionaries in my daily life as well as many app based reference books. Having these enormous books at my fingertips in a portable device is a real help. There’s nothing more satisfying than to find ALL the information I need without hauling out weighty tomes. Of course, the content is magnificent as anyone would expect from Oxford! Thanks very much to the developers for fixing the issues that I was having. I really appreciate the work that you have put into this app.

Update Bust

Version 8.8 crashes pointing to Search Tab. Essentially, App is now worthless.

Oxford

Keep up the good work. Works well for me on iPhone 5 and iPad 3
