No help from developer
New Microsoft update rendered this app inoperable. As requested, I sent full purchase details & history, so they could "get me up & running" again. Then they just stopped responding. Don't waste your money on an app that will stop working, from a developer who just doesn't care enough to support it. Update, August 2021 So now several months later, the developer responds that the app works fine, that support always answers emails, that I must have purchased a different version (??), and that maybe I didn't use the right email address. In other words, somehow it's my fault that, after working fine for years, the Microsoft iOS update was incompatible with the app. All my info was sent, twice, but somehow it's not enough, or not the right info, or sent to the wrong place. I have deleted the app & purchased the version from MobiSystems, which works just fine. Life is too short to waste time on a company that just doesn't care very much.
Tremendous resource
Fantastic dictionary: the best resource for word origins I have seen; comprehensive and very contemporary word listings; easy to download on to your phone for access with or without WiFi; helpful word usage guides ; inclusive word usage panel, sophisticated word search features; and thoughtful articles on language including a table on Indo-European languages. Also reasonabley priced, with no annoying in app fees. I love this dictionary
Great dictionary!
One feature I like is being able to highlight definitions and have it read back to you. Other developers don’t allow this. Also when doing a word search that is misspelled it gives suggestions that are better than others.
Good dictionary, Critically Flawed app
I bought AHD5 & LDOCE+(both apps are released by Enfour.) and have used them a couple of days. Both dictionaries are good for contents, of course, but there is an issue about Link function the apps are providing. Say that I search a word on AHD5 and touch the word to use the Link function and I touch LDOCE menu to jump LDOCE+ app. The LDOCE+ app is launched and the word I touched on AHD5 is displayed. Everything’s fine so far. But the problem occurs after I switch back to AHD5 using app switching function Microsoft provides which is located upper left corner of LDOCE+ app. After I get back to AHD5, I cannot search any word on AHD5. Say that I search a basic word like ‘gain’, No entries found. My iOS version on my iPhone is 15.4.1. I use only one link menu on both apps - On AHD5 app, I only use LDOCE Link Menu and on LDOCE+ app, I only use LDOCE Link Menu. What is the problem? This is very critical problem. Fix the problem and release a new version ASAP!!!
Perfect app with a perfect support team!
I had the older version a long time ago. The database is superb and has never failed me even once. Regarding the support team, they helped me get my purchase back in no time. I am so happy and highly recomment this great dictionary!
