Excellent but only after you buy premium access. Free version is full of annoying advertisement including pop-ups that makes the app impossible to use. Unfortunately even after purchasing premium I still get occasional adds on startup. Whatever the reason for this is, it's very annoying. Still a great dictionary unfortunately app has it's flaws. Also their support chat bot is as useless as most of these solutions.

The app unexpectedly stopped working in the offline mode (I had been using it in this mode for a couple of years) and suggested that I download some huge amount of data. It took a lot of time and couldn't be comlleted anyway. I tried to reinstall the app and it demanded access to my personal data including photo and video. Good bye, "Oxford Dictionary of English"

Sorry to hear you are unsatisfied. We have a newer, a tad larger and considerably better Offline and Audio database. Please note that the app needs certain access - i.e. internal storage in order to save your favorites or access to you camera to translate captured words. Contact us at support@mobisystems.com and we'll assist further.

2024, Samsung A51: Can't d‘l offline content: d’l very slow! Fails part way through. Only want dictionary offline, but forced to get thesaurus too ☹️ 2025: This is one of my most used reference apps. But it hasn't changed in years. Surely, in 2025, it should find a word if you misspell it (lose another ⭐) New phone?: all your favourites will be lost☹️ Some formatting mistakes and missing or extra spaces in the dictionary definitions; if two examples sentences, can't tell whether two, or one.
