Ratings and reviews

Hi Oxford Press. I am not impressed by this subscription scheme. I very much preferred the previous way, paying one time for the app and that's it. It's like I go to the book store and buy a paperback dictionary, I don't pay a monthly or yearly fee to the store just to gain access to the book. This is ridiculous and it's not worth it in my opinion. But if it's one off, I'd love to pay and own it, like the previous editions I owned. So at the moment, I will keep using the 9th Edition till forever or until you move back to one-off payment scheme in the next edition. Great dictionary. Good app. Bad way of business. Not impressed at all.

I like this helpful dictionary, but I have a difficulty reaching my content. I have a yearly subscription for the all 3 dictionaries of Oxford, then today is supposed to be renewal date, it was 17.99$, and the payment has been declined, I tried to fix the problem but no vain.Then I canceled the subscription, and try to resubscribe again with the new price of 20$, and no success to. Then I have found that I lost my favorites and my folders, and even can not subscribe again. Please help me.

Dear OALD team! Oxford dictionaries are so good and I love them, but wouldn't say this is a good application as it can't fulfil my necessities for a dictionary app and I would pay for it if it could. It lacks features like a "text selection pop-up menu" option and "appear on top" to search words on the go and a reviewing option for the learner based on "spaced repetition" techniques to help them memorize their "newly learnt" words they added, are several to name. My sincere contribution
