Reviews
Excellent dictionary
Doc Stelios
Both UK and US spellings are represented, which is very useful for a British English speaker writing American English. The pronunciation audio is also an excellent feature.
Rate nag too much
Gedroth
A reasonable dictionary but the large graphic that must be dismissed with Not Now or 5 stars as the only choices is arrogant and rude.
Super Dictionary

It is great, to find and enjoy a proper English dictionary. Now, I want a proper American language dictionary. Reason for second statement, we speak an English dialect, not English. I want a proper American dictionary, leaving out most words, I do not want to waste my time. Keep up the great work, for this Oxford English Dictionary. Robert
Decent dictionary

Decent dictionary but the constant nagging to leave a 5-star review is fairly obnoxious.
Great dictionary

I've had this dictionary in print twice before. Nice to have it now in digital form on my iPhone. :) I mean it's the OED. Can't go wrong with it.
