Disappointed that I spent $31.99 for an app that doesn’t even have sample sentences for words that their hard copy dictionary had.
I’ve tried all the options instructed but still couldn’t download the purchased oald9. Please update it so that it is compatible with iOS13!
Hi. I have installed it on my iPad Pro 2018 but often when I change the searching way from copy-pasting it to writing it in the searchbox the volume of the sound of the pronunciation turns down to the lowest level every time I manually turn it up. and I want to be able to change folder names of favorites and moving them into each other. thank you
I bought this a while ago, and it was my favorite dictionary for my classroom use. Somewhere along they way, they stopped allowing me to use it. I need to buy it again? I don’t think so. I just saw an update that said it would restore old purchases. Great! They fixed it. Nope, it still says I have to purchase it to use it. There are other dictionaries out there. It’s too bad though because I was a fan! Not anymore.
In-app Purchases are not ALOWED... I have been use this app for more than two year, actually it was great and efficient.There come a new problem, which is “ In-app Purchases are not ALOWED...” when I get it into my new iPad... I hope the staff can fix this problem. Thank you for what you do.
So far it works great with iOS 14. Probably some small issues in the app appeared here and there after the os update but hopefully they’ll take care of those soon
Oald9is frozen and cannot restore. The only clickable menu is upgrade to oald10. I just bought the app yesterday that I cannot use
I’ve been using this app for about four years on my iPhone 7. This app is arguably the best, most useful, and most informative thing that I’ve had on my phone. Recently I switched to iPhone 12 mini and, gladly, I could easily restore my purchase and run the app on the new device without any major problems. However, when running the app on the new phone there is an empty white band below and around the notch area on which no information is displayed; neither the battery logo on the right-hand side of the notch, nor the hour digits on the left. Besides, the white band looks ugly in my opinion and does not match the colour of the purple band below it. I guess it’s a minor bug, and I’d kindly like to ask the developers to fix it.
I purchased this app over two years ago. I just got another phone on iOS 14 and I have been unable to restore my purchase for the past 2 weeks.
