This app is fake ... when I did download it I think that will be like the website but unfortunately not. When you try to search for a word, you can’t access to its definition and to the audio so you can listen it in the US or UK accents , you have to pay for it. Really disappointing. I recommend “ Merriam Webster” app to anyone can’t afford this app.
I cannot use restore purchases!!!

Charging for dictionary...in 2018?

I get that the app should be profitable in some shape or form, but to prevent the general usage of the app without paying $10+ USD just sounds uninviting, especially since the browser version of the Cambridge dictionary is free to use. I’d understand if the app pushes for purchase of the dictionary during offline mode, but the charge during online mode just seems counterintuitive. The rating I’m giving to this app isn’t based on its functionality or interface. Rather, it’s a rating for the poor business model.
