Not honest
I bought this years back at a considerable cost (39.9$) and couple of years later they stopped updating in App Store. As a result all the dictionaries by Enfour, of which I actually bought quite a few, stopped working on new iOS. Then they would start selling the same title at a higher price. So, as a verified buyer, before you decide to buy, think twice. BTW, they do have a tech support: it’s one man shop I guess. just received an answer from the developer claiming they have regularly updated their products. I pulled back one of the titles I bought Rogets II Thesaurus, and as of now it requires an update which is not available unless you buy it again @$6.99. ( I wish I could upload the screenshot to this rating) My American Heritage deluxe version stopped working at least 3years ago due to its lack of update and ergo incompatibility with the new iOS. So i stand by my claim and urge buyers be aware of Enfour products: they are expensive, they don’t update forcing you to buy a new version and yes, their tech support is one man show at least in the past few years.
My go to Dictionary.
A few years back the developers had made a decision to stop supporting and updating this app, meaning eventually an update to the iSO would kill it. I don’t know how many people pushed back, I know I did. Hats off and thanks to the developers for re-thinking that decision.
An Invaluable Resource
As a person who once owned the dead tree version of this dictionary, I am still amazed that I can carry around an unabridged dictionary on my iPhone and iPad. I use this app multiple times a day.
Worth every penny
Not only an excellent resource but the developers have kept this app up to date through every IOS version since it was introduced.
Wow! Wish I Had Purchased This First
I saw the reviews on sound not working for some downloads. The sound works on every word I've tried so far, and I've sampled a few dozen words. This is the best dictionary/thesaurus I have owned since I took my original printed American Heritage dictionary to college in 1973. I purchased Rogets II first, then an under $20 combo dictionary thesaurus, and a cheaper dictionary. They fell short because only the common words were in these. I needed more depth. I decided to take a chance on this combo before many reviews were in, and I am glad I did. There are words in here that the cheaper dictionaries don't offer--a lot of them. It is very convenient to have the thesaurus in the same app so that you don't have to leave one to go to the other. I write for a living, and I plan to use this great resource extensively. The larger type size helps me and my bifocals. Thanks. If you download this on your iPhone, as I did, be patient because it take about 8 to 10 minutes. I had to keep my iPhone awake by sliding my finger over the screen several times during the download. When the blue bar stops, it will keep installing, so just let it continue. A reviewer on the stand-alone dictionary recommends buying through your desktop/laptop with iTunes because of the size. Live dangerously, use your iPhone, but be patient.
