  1. 3/5Take up too much space

    The app size of OALECD 8e is only 1.26GB, but Oxford Eng-Chi Dictionaries is over 2.4GB. That’s why I don’t want to use this latest app. Why not make it smaller? That can be easily done by making it possible for users to delete unwanted dictionary data in this integrated app to free up space.

  2. 5/5Best Chinese-English dictionary, Ever

    Purchased a only version of this at a ridiculous high price several years ago but definitely worth the money. Best dict. Not able to find that version of app on my iPhone13, only found this version with subscription. Even more expensive. But, become even better with multiple dictionaries in it. I will pay and keep using it. Keep improving!

  3. 5/5I love this dictionary

    I’ve been using this Oxford Advanced English Chinese Dictionary for many years. I like the examples. I like the search function. I like the pictures and illustrations. I like the voice too. It has been helping me a lot in learning English. Also, it doesn’t need to connect to the internet and so I can use it anywhere. I love it so much.

  4. 1/5Can’t find my one time purchase OALECD 7e anymore

    I got a new iPhone 12 and wanted to install OALECD 7e that I purchases before. Why did you remove it from the app store? Need to migrate to subscription-based business like everybody else? Sure, go ahead, but you need to refund my money back for the 7th. It’s like when you publish a new dictionary, you can’t burn down all your former customers’ older dictionaries to force them to pay you more. You people have no ethics!

  5. 4/5Typeface change is highly recommended

    I suggest the app developer to change the typeface of the dictionary to Times New Roman like that of Oxford English Dictionary(app) in order to improve readability. Times New Roman is easy to the eyes and aesthetically pleasing. The typeface is a fly in the ointment.
