American Heritage Dict. for Negative User Reviews

✓ Can’t use on both iPad and iPhoneAfter buying this dictionary for my iPad I discovered I couldn’t also use it on my iPhone like I can with most all other apps that I’ve purchased. Apparently, I would have to repurchase it for my second device. I contacted customer service and received no reply. The only reason I bought it was because it was such a hassle to load the older version of the same dictionary onto my iPad when I was setting up my new device—that was a multi-email conversation with customer service that involved sending and resending of access codes. I ended up purchasing an Oxford dictionary for my iPhone and won’t do business in the future with the American Heritage dictionary. In addition, their customer service is handled out of Japan, so when they do answer an inquiry, it is delayed..CJTFVersion: 10.0.10

✓ Decent but slowThey’re so eager for a rating that they started interrupting my word searching to ask how I like the app from before I was even able to form an opinion about it. Frustratingly, it doesn’t announce when the word I want *isn’t* there. It just hangs empty, as if I need to type more letters. Definitions themselves seem fine. I want more in the way of etymology..MpmikesellVersion: 10.0.10

✓ It should be brownI’m ok with you all erasing all of my favorite words when updating, but could you at least make the color inside the app brown instead of blue? I mean, the physical books are brown and the app icon is brown. You’d think the company that paid you all to make this app for them would care about the color, too. You can change the theme color on the Oxford dictionary. Why can’t I change the theme color on this dictionary? They’re both made by the same outfit, right?.I am Scott aVersion: 10.0.3

✓ DisappointingHow can the language’s most respected and finest dictionary turn out such a humdrum app: the word of the day is often not even a word (TN is today’s) and often a proper noun (like Tennessee). The app is poorly designed and, for me, a mess. What a disappointment! Give me the printed American Heritage Dictionary any time: never a finer one dealing with the American language..RobertMontclairVersion: 10.0.10

✓ Long time user, not happyI have purchased this app twice over the last 6 or 7 years. I first bought AHD5 because it was a fantastic dictionary. It was a proper, adult, full featured, but simply designed app. It didn’t try to compete with all of the social centric, sophomoric garbage out there. During the last big update (iOS 14.5) the app stopped working again . I gave it a week or two hopeful that an update would fix it… nada. So I contact the developer (Mobisystems- what happened to Enfour?!) They were of no help… so against my better judgment, I bought it a 3rd time!! To my horror, they redesigned the app. It’s awful- I want my money back!!.FuzzinLAVersion: 10.0.10

✓ App crashes. Can’t even open!Paid $14.99 for the pro version and the app won’t even open now! Could someone please fix this!.27greenandcreamVersion: 10.0.3

✓ App needs to be improvedThis is my second review. I like my hard bound dictionary better than this app! The app is clunky, hard to navigate, not easy to clear, and overall unappealing. What a disappointment! I am looking at today’s new word, succinc acid. When I tap on it for the definition, the app takes me to the definition of IG. BAD APP!.ArlgaltwoVersion: 10.0.10

✓ American Heritage DictionaryPrevious version much, much better. Sorry that it was abandoned for new versions of the operating system. Had to buy this version and loss the value and far better and more traditional interface of previous version. Lost all my saved vocabulary words. And have to put up with dumbed-down abridgement of printed version..American NosePin Salute ManVersion: 10.0.10

✓ Paid version now has adsPaid version now has ads.Pseudoanon6Version: 10.0.10

✓ Great App, paid for it, annoying review promptsThis is an excellent dictionary application with a very good reference material. The interface is quite nice and enjoyable. I actually paid for the full version. Ordinarily I would probably give this app four stars, maybe because it's quite expensive for what it is. I'm only giving it one star because it's very annoying about prompting you to review it over and over. So I'm reviewing it and giving it one star because it annoyed me in an unreasonable away..SupaconVersion: 8.5.4

✓ Good content poor app.Demands five stars, deserves less than one..LeyprwVersion: 10.0.10

✓ Same word can not define itself the meaning and use of the wordI expect excellence in a dictionary of this caliber no word can or ever should define itself. Every word does have a specific use and meaning if it lacks these elements but is in use tell us the who, what, where, when, why and how of that usage. Four years since the last update! Language is a live fire breathing Dragon evolving elements omnipresent!.Kyrie86Version: 10.0.10

✓ Greeedy27.99 just to USE the thesaurus?? That’s some in-app purchases bullsh**..MrSpencerMcIntoshVersion: 10.0.10
