HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (656 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription44%

78 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I canceled my subscription and deleted the app.
★★★★★ Now the OED makes you sit through scam ads before letting you look at a definition.
★★★★★ The app constantly asks for money at every step.
Too many ads36%

64 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I have paid for the premium level for this app for close to three years and just started getting ads.
★★★★★ Now the OED makes you sit through scam ads before letting you look at a definition.
★★★★★ I mean it helps me with homework but at the same time it has ads some they say don't have meanings.
Worse after an update8%

15 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ By trying to add features and redesign it, the developers have ruined what was a very helpful app.
★★★★★ I updated it to the recent version.
★★★★★ I had higher hopes for this one, given its far more recent update.
Lost data, sync, backup7%

13 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I canceled my subscription and deleted the app.
★★★★★ Your solution, which I'd already tried, did not work, likely due to the single-purchase option being gone.
★★★★★ No I went and got a FREE dictionary and thesaurus on my phone because OXFORD lost their dignity after a millennium.
Wrong or poor results7%

13 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Please add an option to default to a particular dictionary + thesaurus. The app keeps reverting back to English version instead of American and it's very frustrating.
★★★★★ Basic words don't show up; 1/4 the Dictionary it was; useless.
★★★★★ It doesn't translate from Hindi to English, just English to Hindi. App is difficult to navigate.
Limits, credits, locked features7%

12 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ We have to pay for the thesaurus?
★★★★★ It seems all of the features listed (with exception of limited word search) are actually paid features.
★★★★★ To my surprise, this morning I received a notice of a $39.99 charge on a credit card to which I have no idea how this app got access!?…(I rarely use this credit card.) As far as I can surmise, this app is running a…
Login and account problems7%

12 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ You would think you would be able to use the thesaurus but of course they had to find a way to get you to sign up for a subscription right?
★★★★★ I downloaded this because after 15 years of paying for the other dictionary to have ads removed in an account, webster started scamming people by removing accounts so that you can't even upgrade to have ads and stuff…
★★★★★ Since your updated version was activated, I cannot access my premium account that I have had for a while.
Bugs, things not working6%

11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Also, without Premium, it seems it doesn't work offline, which is crazy.
★★★★★ I spent a lot of money on this app. Always freezes, lags, stops working. Closes randomly. If you type a word incorrectly by missing just one letter, it is unable to guess what the correct word is and shows no results.…
★★★★★ The error message always shown is "SqliteException(1): while executing, duplicate column name: uuid, SQL logic error (code 1) Causing statement: ALTER TABLE favourite_collections_table ADD COLUMN uuid TEXT DEFAULT ",…
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Please add an option to default to a particular dictionary + thesaurus. 1★, Sep 16, 2026
  • I just need a simple thesaurus, which is listed in the features - but you need a paid subscription of €39/yr to access it. 2★, Aug 3, 2026
  • I wish that the plain dictionary just worked without being bombarded by ads. 3★, Jul 20, 2026
  • Please add a one time buy option. 5★, Jun 26, 2026
  • It would be better if the definitions were longer and more of the Rich etymology from the OED was carried over. 3★, Jun 26, 2026
  • I would love to see a Dutch dictionary option as well. 4★, May 22, 2026
  • I would just love to recommend that you add a Dutch option. 4★, May 22, 2026
  • I love the word of the day function of the app, but I wish they could be more difficult or maybe have an option to change difficulty level. 4★, Apr 25, 2026

★★★★★ It is very easy to use with great explanationo of words.
★★★★★ This dictionary app is easy to use.
★★★★★ Rare is the app that does exactly what it's meant to, and in the easily intuitive way that it should.
Worth the money7%

19 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ However, the thesaurus can only be free to use if you get the premium version of the app.
★★★★★ Just a shame that the pronunciation is now no longer free - though understandable, as we we should all be prepared to pay for something as good as this.
★★★★★ Several years ago I paid a premium for ad-free access.
Fun, addictive5%

15 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★Oct 23, 2026
Not OED

When a favorite dictionary app decided to stop supporting the paid version forcing users to use their new version with ads, I went looking for a new app. Saw Oxford and immediately went to download it and paid for the upgrade. Why wouldn’t I? Owning any version of the renowned Oxford English Dictionary is a must for people like me. I’ve been absolutely disappointed in this app. In my frustration and attempts to figure out why more than half the words I search for are not found, I realized the word English was missing from the app title. Absolutely my mistake. However, despite not being a digital branch of the OED, the amount of words not found is appalling. Words listed in the thesaurus section don’t even return dictionary results. This app lacks so much that other dictionary apps have. Etymology, usages or examples, among others.

★★★★★Oct 22, 2026

Premium level includes ads

I have paid for the premium level for this app for close to three years and just started getting ads. I canceled my subscription and deleted the app.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Scam ads and subscription models

This dictionary used to be mandatory in my college classes. Now the OED makes you sit through scam ads before letting you look at a definition. The other option is a paid subscription. To a dictionary.

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026
Unashamed Begging for Money

If it really has something to do with the legendary Oxford University, that is so sad. The app constantly asks for money at every step. No audio is available without it. Also, without Premium, it seems it doesn't work offline, which is crazy.

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
It s ok

I mean it helps me with homework but at the same time it has ads some they say don’t have meanings.
