About this app

The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary is the world’s bestselling advanced-level dictionary for learners of English. It has helped millions of learners to develop their English skills for work and study, and leads the way to more confident, successful communication in English. It contains over 86,000 words, 95,000 phrases, 112,000 meanings and 237,000 examples, all using clear and simple language to help non-native speakers learn more easily.

The Oxford Collocations Dictionary shows you which words work together and helps you express your ideas naturally and convincingly. It is especially useful for writing essays or preparing for exams in English. For example, which adjectives can you use to describe ‘scenery’? Which verbs can you use with ‘challenge’?

The Oxford Learner’s Thesaurus is a dictionary of synonyms that helps you to understand the differences between similar words, and to find the right words to say exactly what you mean. For example, is there a better word than ‘nice’? What is the difference between ‘easy’ and ‘simple’? What is a more formal synonym of ‘choice’?

Same problem like with many of the other reviewers: Suddenly the app is reduced to the preview stage as if I had not subscribed at all. SOLUTION: This seems to happen when Google Play Store has been put to sleep or deep sleep, which is usually done by the phone's owner, in this case by myself. Wake it up and OALD works again. So it is not a true offline-capable app in the end, which is too bad!

It is a good app but the content has been thinned out compared to the 8th edition. The quick search for phrasal verbs, idioms, and example sentences is extremely useful for beginners and advanced students and makes using this app a joy. The app definitely helps you to get a better picture of words and their contexts and meanings as well as the English language as a whole.

I must admit it is a really good product, but subscription for a dictionary ? come on, one time payment is the way. subscription payments feel like a hoax. I forgot to mention, if you don't pay you won't be able to use the dictionary at all, it only show you few words 😉 if you want to see the word you are looking up, you need to pay ...
