  • Asks continually to be rated

    Great dictionary, but it's irritating that it continually asks to be rated five stars before showing the definition of a word. For the price it cost, I should never be interrupted for that.
  • Solid Reference Tool

    After the American Heritage iOS dictionary crashed and burned I looked for a quality replacement. After a couple of experiments with others, I came upon the Collins dictionary. Its intuitive interface takes you to authoritative information. So my search has a very happy ending. It is my go-to dictionary, used throughout every day.

    This app is the equivalent of the cheapest paperback dictionary the market. The definitions are completely basic and scanty. I seem to remember that I spent some good money on this app and it is not worth more than $.99.

    Every time I open this dictionary app, the FIRST THING I SEE is it asking for a five star rating. The app is okay. Just okay. But incessantly asking users for praise seriously downgrades its overall appeal. Bad form!
  • Works great

  • Problem with the app.

    Oxford dictionary is the best, no doubts about it. I am rating the app as a program, no the dictionary. I bought this app years ago. Then I got a new iPhone and I downloaded in it (the app). I am having a problem where I can’t use it when I am off line nor when I am connected to the internet. This is really upsetting because I used to use it a lot and now I can’t from this device. And yes, I did got to options and pressed the option to be able to use it off line — It did not work.
  • Unabridged?

    This dictionary app claims to be unabridged. That is nonsense. There are lots of words that were not in this app that I looked up. The Miriam Webster app is far better and equally as abridged as Collins. And your cons cost a lot of money. It was a waste and I wish I can get my money back.

    Excellent references tool if you want to increase your vocabulary. Also, learn to use words correctly and understanding their meaning.

    I’m giving this 5 stars so it will hopefully stop interrupting my use of it with these annoying requests to give it 5 stars. Good dictionary. Lousy app. Horrible upgrade. More complicated to get get around. Ugly and not so user friendly as it used to be. Loss of functions.
  • Great Resource

    Love it, use it frequently. I used the print version years ago for TOEFL.
