Oxford Advanced Learner's Dict for Negative User Reviews

UpdateI's not fully compatible with IOS 15, at least not on my iPads, Air 2 & Air 3. It occasionally stops responding to whatever you write. And sometimes it suddenly restarts. It's so frustrating that now I have returned to use the older version 9th. You need to update it and compensate those of us who have a subscription and are not able to use it..Version: 1.3

How can I get my OALD 9 back?I bought OALD 9 less than half a year ago. Now how can I use it? I can’t find it anymore in this app or in AppStore..Version: 1.0

RobberyYou cannot restore your OLAD 8 or 9 purchase. Just like robbing your money.Version: 1.1

Keeps crashing, please help!Hello. As a foreigner who’s mother tongue is Spanish, I’ve tried most dictionaries by now. This one is useful as it presents a very practical way of using the language. Unfortunately, the app’s interphase is not brilliant and it keeps crashing. I hope Oxford polishes these issues soon and it’s payed as you go, which makes updates and bug fixes mandatory..Version: 1.3

Doesn’t want subscriptionWhat if I don’t want subscription and wants to own the dictionary like before ? Why I can’t change the theme and background of the page like before ? Can you add both features (subscription for those who want it and ownership for those who want to own it) ?.Version: 1.1

Can you fix iCloud problem?I can't sync my data from iPad to iPhone so I deleted data in the iCloud. But when I want to re-sync my data, it just reminds me "iCloud syncronization is unavailable. Please check your settings". The app can't create a new iCloud data in my iCloud account. So I can't sync data in any device. Can you fix this problem in next version?I really need this function..Version: 1.2

DisappointmentIf you bought the 9th edition, you have lost 50 dollars because there’s no restore option for that edition..Version: 2.1

Don’t have flash card+ It doesn’t have a flash card to learn vocabulary quickly. Cambridge dictionary have had one for long time. + Vocabulary topic is not updated related to oxford website..Version: 1.1

Too expensive. Better use web free versionToo expensive. Better use web free version.Version: 1.4

It’s always flashbackI can’t use it normally 🤬.Version: 1.3

Worse every year pass byOUP is very greedy, deny old user the access purchased app in the past OALD9, It is the also not compatible with cross-platform devices, There should lock the purchased with email or something so when sign in the new devices We would not have to pay again. :(((.Version: 1.1

I can’t sign in My premium accountI bought an oald and u give me a code to use premium in a year Then i signed up But now i can’t sign in on My ipad What happened!?.Version: 1.2

Please continue supporting old versionI’ve bought OALD8, then OALD9. But what is still a disappointing about that is I can only use OALD8 at the moment. Since updating to iOS13, I could not restore or download OALD9 anymore. It obviously costed me to update to OALD9 for something I can use. And the latest update pack was pushed 11 months ago. You can’t do that to your customers. We demand an update to OALD9 so that we can use it on our iOS13 devices..Version: 1.0

NOT a serviceThis is a product and not a service. Why subscription??? Scam..Version: 1.1

I cannot log in my accountI cannot log in my account and look for words.Version: 2.0

Always crash when slide overAs above.Version: 1.4

Only subscription and too priceyCan’t purchase it and the prices are higher than real paper books :). And it’s not so cool anyway LDOCE is better and much cheaper. You said: “This will be passed on to you.” What does it mean? You will add one-time purchase option or what? I checked the app and there’s nothing yet only subscriptions there..Version: 2.0

Crushes and setting issue (iPad/iPhone)Opening the app after a while being in the background ends up in a crash. I’ve got American pronunciation turned off. Every time when I use Full text search to open an item the Hide American English speaker symbols option is ignored. I can see both speaker icons. Yes. I reinstalled the app million times and it didn’t help..Version: 1.3

Family sharingCan it be family sharing.Version: 1.3

Unfairly pricedSubscription based dictionary service at £9 per year or £30 per four years is highly unfair.Version: 1.2

How do I download OALD8?I can just find the newest version (edition 10) in App Store but it really makes me disappointed. How do I get older versions like OALD8 or OALD9 then purchase it? Thank you so much..Version: 1.0

Cannot download OALD9th editionI have been using the newly released OALD 9th edition for a long time. Now I just bought a new iPad Pro and I searched it on the App Store to download but it’s not there. Please put it back! 🥺.Version: 2.0

They had to switch to subscription modelWhile the app is very good and useful in itself, it is so disappointing that there is now a subscription model instead of one time purchase. This affects Apple’s Family Sharing as in-app purchases do not qualify for this feature. Truly disappointing and annoying..Version: 1.2

I can’t sign in with my Oxford accountPlease fix it ASAP.Version: 1.3

Need help!!!I purchased the app of oxford advanced learner’s dictionary for my Iphone on Aug 09, 2015. Since i changed the password of my Iphone two days ago, I am not able to use the app. I called the apple support and they encouraged me to contact you to fix the problem. I enjoyed using the app, but I am so upset because I am not able to use it when I need most. Please help me restore the app. I appreciate your support by responding to my inquiry..Version: 1.1

Price...Really disappointed by the fact that no discounts were provided for the purchasers of the 9th version. I paid full price less than a year ago :( The new app (besides an horrendous icon), looks much better. There’s s big omission in my opinion: I love the introduction of Oxford 3000 and 5000 word list, but...why not include those lists in the app??? It’s common sense! It should be in the favorites and not in a link to a website which is just useless (since I cannot see the meaning of a word in the website). Please correct that and offer at least one year for free to 9th version owners..Version: 1.0

Bad dictionaryI did pay around $45 for my iPhone; I did pay about $45 for my desktop computer. I did pay three times for upgrading the app, each $17. Then Oxford cancelled supporting iPhone and offered a few years free of charge until 2024. Today Oxford cancelled my subscription. What a big shame for Oxford! I’m going to use the Longman dictionary instead..Version: 1.4

Cant find OLAD 9thI have purchased oxford advanced learner's dictionary on 16, jul 2016 9th once , but after i have restored my phone, i can‘t find it to download it again. And i have no access to my account. I would like a consideration on this problem..Version: 2.0

UpdateThe content to be downloaded after the update has been downloaded again. Now it takes more than 6GB. it's too big!.Version: 1.3

Opposite of professional1. OLAD just keep geting out old users from using 9th 8th dictionary. 2. 10th there is no auto renewable supscription. 3. when purchased it is also not linked with Oxford ID, You have to purchase in every devices. 4. Online version is separated with App version you have to purchase twice 5. the OLAD Online subscription code is very hard to buy cannot be bought online. 6. Old OLAD app can chage the background's color which make it read easier. new app doesn't 3,4 combine- you have to buy 4times than normal price to keep using in computer and mobile devices All in all, There are less professional in every year pass by..Version: 1.0

OALD 9 is not accessible anymore!I bought OALD9 with my old phone and now I can’t even download the app on my new phone. Could you please help me out?.Version: 2.0

ICloud SyncThis version doesn’t provide sync between devices. Plus, the layout looks ugly on iPad comparing to the previous one..Version: 1.0

DisappointedWell the audio stops working . Very heavy and slow táctil. Try to contact them and the page never opens . Hopefully get fix all this app crashes. I think no need rate but I have to put one ⭐️in order to write a comment..Version: 1.3

New update doesn't workI can't do in-app purchase, and sign in with oxford ID doesn't work too. It waste my time.Version: 2.0

The OUP dictionary team are sly, greedy, and dishonestSo a few years ago I purchased the 8th version of their dictionary through the app store, a few months later they deleted that app from the app store, stopped all updates and pushed their 9th version. So after just a few months of paying £30 for their 8th edition I had to pay another £30 for the 9th edition. I complained to their team at the time and they promised they wouldn't do that again and it was just because of a big update. Here we are just a few years later and the Oxford University Press dictionary team have done it again. They have deleted their old 9th edition app from the app store. Not only that, but timed nicely with new iPhone and later iPad releases so that anybody getting a new phone/iPad cannot just redownload what they already purchased. The reason is that even when you use iCloud to reinstall past apps, the dictionary part was an additional (add-on) download. If you select download it won't download. Your only option is to download their tenth edition. It is comparable to Oxford University Press breaking into my house and stealing my paper copy of the 8th edition because they have released a 9th edition. Then only a couple of years later they repeat the same trick by breaking in and stealing my 9th edition because they have released a 10th edition. And before you reply to my review telling me to email you, you can FORGET IT! Unless you can send me a full refund for my 8th edition and 9th that you have digitally stolen from me by your sly, dishonest, and greedy team, and post a full written apology you then my suggestion before anybody purchases this dictionary is to buy Longman, Cambridge, Merriam-Webster or any other dictionary made by a company that doesn’t engage in digital theft of your previously purchased property. Look at OUP's history of sly, dishonest, and greedy app store practice before you purchase this. You will purchase it now and have to pay again in a year or two. And then again a year or two after that. It's 100% not worth it..Version: 1.1

Text selection problem in ios 13.4.1I’ve been using the 9th edition of this awesome dictionary for years. Then when this new app was released I got thrilled by the new features included in it e.g. CEFR tags. But now after upgrading to ios 13.4.1 things have turned into a nightmare. This is because there is no text selection capability in 10th edition from this update on. Besides, there is a huge bug in text selection and copying in 9th edition from this update on. So, at the moment I can’t use either of them and that’s a pity because I’m completely dependent on them. Please help out!.Version: 1.1

Redeem OALD 9 accessI have bought fill unlimited version of OALD 9 just a year ago. Now, I have updated my iPad to 2022 version, and “redeem” option is inactive. I don’t want to switch to yearly renewal subscription. I would rather prefer to continue using my OALD 9. The “unlimitedness” of OALD is a scam now… How to make it work on M1 iPad 2022?.Version: 1.4

A problem regarding oald9I know this is the comment page of oald10 but since oald9 has been deleted from the appstore, I have to write about the issue of oald9 here. I recently bought iPad pro which has m2 processor and i found that i couldn’t download oald9 data at the oald9 app. the same problem occurred when i tried to download oald9 app on the m2 iMac. oald9 is an ios app, so i can understand that i can’t download on the imac. but it’s ipad. I am heavily dependent on the oald9 app. I hope you could find the problem and fix it soon..Version: 2.0

Ruined the app by subscription planesYou should add a way to buy the app and not as subscriptions only!!!! I have OALD 8 but when I press restore nothing happens !!!.Version: 1.0

Please make it available to older MacBooksI love the dictionary and purchased the 4 year plan on my phone. But can you make it available to my MacBook Air 2017 running Ventura? Thanks.Version: 2.0

Just HorribleeeeHow disappointing. it’s ridiculous.Version: 1.2

OALD 9 deleted from apps storeI bought the OALD 9th edition for iPhone few years ago for 30$, and today I noticed that the app is simply deleted from the apps store. So I presume you no longer provide any further support or updates for the owners of the mentioned version. What I don’t understand and makes me feel like I have been fooled is that a new version is available on the apps store , the 10 edition. Which is not free. I don’t really understand why I have to subscribe and pay again for another update. This is what we call a theft..Version: 1.1

Incompatibe with older version and web subscriptionA brand new dictionary version that ditches compatibility with old version and Oxford ID web subscription, forcing us to pay twice for the app. Also, the dictionary app is now subscription-based contrary to previous version when we just need to buy it once. And ironically, the web version is free (with ads but I don’t mind), you only pay for some premium features (iSpeaker, iWriter). Why would you want us to pay for this app just for looking up the words when it clearly lacks premium features? Not to mention, we cannot change the font size of the definition, only the UI, which is a major backward compared to OALD8/9..Version: 1.0
