Good intention but old look and feel

I'd like to begin with commending the comprehensive nature of this dictionary and thesaurus—it truly is a one-stop resource for anyone looking to enhance their vocabulary and speaking skills. However, the aesthetic elements, such as the color themes (red for a thesaurus, for instance) and the font choice, seem outdated, reminiscent of early iOS applications. While I appreciate the dedication to maintaining the app and offering it at a one-time cost, the user interface could greatly benefit from a modern redesign. Take, for example, the Oxford dictionary app by MobiDict, which boasts a clean, user-friendly interface with appealing fonts and colors, focusing on essential features rather than an overload of rarely used ones. At the very least, an update to the font could help the app feel more current. I hope this feedback is received as constructive criticism, and I want to reiterate my appreciation for your consistent efforts over the years. Looking forward to hearing your response.

quality of life!

As both a reader and a writer I have many resources at hand, but none like the Oxford. So many times it has rescued me, surprised and delighted me, educated me, and set beyond and apart my journeys and experiences. It is one of my most prized possessions (and yes, I feel I possess it, and perhaps it, me, as with Tolkien’s Gollum and the ring).

The app is unusable.

The app closes whenever I click the search icon or attempt to type a new word in the search box. It is u usable & I want my money back.

A tip of the hat to Enfour

Way back in the day, Oxford Deluxe was the first major purchase I ever made on the iPhone. Hats off to the developer for keeping this outstanding app updated for all these years. And now it’s available for free on the Mac for current owners. Thanks much!

A Flat Tire!

This dictionary will slow you down. I am so disappointed to have paid money for this app. In my opinion, it is so not worth it. How is it they are able to present such a Frankenstein monster of an app as DELUXE and not be chargged with false advertising? How much do you have to pay to get the full English language in a dictionary? I gave it two words: fakery, and ultracrepidarian. The search returned: No entries found. A free online search gave me 100% better results. I mean, like, $24.99 to get away from advertising and then you have to go online to find the words you want in the advertising jungle of the splinternet? OWE! REALLY?
