Oxford Advanced American Dictionary (audio) app for iPhone and iPad

The dictionary is to the point and thorough at the same time. Money well spent

Thanks to your "Back to School" promotion, it made me easier to decide to try it out. Great app indeed! An excellent educational tools. The 100% inline hyperlink to any display word is no match by any other dictionary apps. DioDicts Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary, for example, provides no inline hyperlink at all while DW Educations Cambridge Advanced Learners Dictionary only provides inline hyperlinks limited to words in definition texts but none in example texts. I hope both DioDict and DW will follow ETL-OUP lead on this important feature. Another wonderful but quite hidden feature is that you can access the dictionarys preceeding or succeeding entry by simply swiping your finger tip from right to left, or from left to right, respectively. Just like how you flip the pages on your real printed copy of dictionary. Only DioDicts Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary has this same features. The display fonts can be reset to any of the 5 different preset sizes: very small, small, medium, large, very large which is is nice but this coulnt match the smart, pinchable, varying & reflowing font-resized implemention by DioDict. In this aspect of goodies, DW also implemented its flagship Cambridge Advanced English-Chinese Talking Dictionary using a sliding scale insead of pinching to redefine & reflow display font-size which is not as efficient as the piching approach but certainly more superior to the limited preset font-sizes available in this app. Wish both DW, ELT-OUP, and particularly Mobile Systems Inc can follow closely DioDicts lead in this GUI pinchability implementation. Im looking forward to a similar "Back to School" promotion announcement for ELT-OUPs flagship Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary! As soon as it comes up, I will certainly try it out like this app. Hope I wont have to wait forever, have I?

It is the best up now. I have all big dictionaries at my ipod but anymore others are useless. Thanks for this great product.

I really like the audio pronunciation, the illustrations they have for the entires, and the bookmarking. So far everything I looked up had audio built in, and example even sentences. Other apps have those features, but the speed with which I can jump into the App, look up a definition, hear the audio and go back to reading my book is amazing. I used to use WWAudioUS - but that is extremely slow and some of the definitions made no sense. It helps that this app is from Oxford, so Im not left wondering whether the definition is accurate or not.

I like it. There are a few things they should improve. If I type a word the cursor should stay there in order to type a new word and look up to the next word. Also, you should add a Verb Table option to each verb in order to click there and visualize the verb in different forms which can help us to be sure how to use it.

Its a pretty useful dictionary. I hope it will be optimized for iPhone 5 soon.

this is potentially the best dictionary app that I have seen but is rendered useless by the lack of any word derivations. It is of no value in this form - perhaps incomplete???

The "history" function obviously has a big bug. Whenever you use it, the app crashes. Report it to the apps support team three months ago, and they said the are aware of it and working on it... No update so far

Does not even have picayune. My iPhone even suggested the correct spelling of picayune. Wonder how/if I could get my money back. This is utterly ridiculous.
