  • Why do I love the Oxford Dictionary

    5
    By Cyrus the Small
    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?
  • Have to restore my purchase every single time

    By Gadgetude
    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 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.

    Just one of a million 'free' apps. What a surprise...once downloaded, it states that you have to pay to use. Joke
