Oxford Dictionary & Translator

So I’ve been using the free app for years. As a happy customer of the old school case bound OED my dissatisfaction and disappointment with the app version is to be noted and hopefully some one other than customer satisfaction dweebs will pay attention and remedy this. Too many times I have tried to get a definition from the app version and been let down. So to sum up not five minutes ago I was digitally badgered into subscribing to the pay version and without one breath I am immediately besieged to rate and review. Come on people be for real. True rating at this time is NO STARS. Cut the crap and get to work. The real OED is venerable this app so far is a joke. Hey just my opinion.

This dictionary has the Oxford dictionaries in many languages. The color scheme looks nice. You are able to cut and paste a whole bunch of text and see the definitions in a sentence or paragraph. There is the International phonetic alphabet for the French words, which makes it easier to learn the pronounciation. The developers should change the word 日本人 to 日本語 because the dictionary is about languages, not person, race or nationality. If you are persnickety, Français should be lower case because Français means Frenchman while français means French language. I believe languages is not capitalized in other romance languages as well.

A truly invaluable Reference opus; indispensable tool for the Professional Writer, either in a Creative or the Business field (or both) and whom is in regular or merely in occasional need of an absolutely trustworthy, EXACT DEFINITION of nearly any particular word or short phrase, and to also provide what seems to me, flawless expert translation into any of 14 major languages, including Classical ones. My only question is, where was this when I was a Staff Writer & the Editor-in-Chief for important DISNEYLAND (Southern California) publications? — Frankly, without hyperbole, I would have done nearly anything, just short of trading my mother, for such an indispensable resource! Likewise, as a former St. John’s College student (“The ‘Great Books’ College”) this would have made the seemingly endless number of papers I had to write, far easier. —MICHÆL IRVINE HART Volant, Pennsylvania (Old Order Amish Country)
