Reviews

Still needs some work
Taterz32

This app is ok, but needs some more work to become great. It is not worth the $20 I paid for it yet. Many words that exist in Russian aren't accessible from a search in English (for example the word toothbrush). Also, there is a little resource for verb conjugations, but I would like to see a regular verb table. Also, there is no audio pronunciations on this app.

Okay but has some issues.
Matt Hash

So, this app has probably the best dictionary for Russian in the store, but the app itself needs some work. The advanced search features don't work (for example, I'd like to be able to search for words containing roots, which is handy because Russian has lots of prefixes). And I'd really appreciate flashcards (the old Oxford app had them before this developer took over.) Not bad overall but could use more to make it worth $20.

Clean and Thorough but Missing Features
Mark6saxplayer

The design and layout are pleasing to the eye. This app is meant for a level beyond the short-stay tourist. I majored in Russian and need a good quality app. So far I have needed the words “upheaval” and “turnover.” I need a really advanced dictionary. Please keep adding words even if it makes the app larger. As some other reviews have pointed out, the app lacks a flashcard feature–something Oxford has had on previous versions. Why is it gone? Also, it’s not very intuitive or easy to use. For example, there is no explanation for what the different search options are, just obscure icons to try to tap. First time users would not understand it, in my opinion. Please keep updating.

Yes, much worse...
Simstore33

Yes, new version is much worse-- why take away declension of verbs, the audio? No excuse for that. $20?, you should do better for that kind of money. Please make the necessary upgrades.

I want a refund!

First why doesn't the old version work? Second what the heck happened with this new version, it s%*#s! NO AUDIO please do not waste your money!

Why do I have to pay for it again!!!
SouthPoleSanta

I bought this dictionary two or three years ago, and it was fine.. Now the old dictionary no longer works - I can open the app but there are no words. So Oxford just took back the product I purchased from them? What right do they have to do that? If it's a developer issue, then they owe me a free upgrade to the new version. But it seems like this is the about only game in town if you want a brand-name English/Russian/English dictionary, so I will purchase the new edition. But I will never buy another Oxford product again if I have a choice, and I will encourage my friends to avoid Oxford products as well. It appears to me the company has no integrity whatsoever.

Please update to the 2010 version of this app
Dkjohann

Ownership, management, and everything else may have changed about this app over the last five years, but if you're going to use the same name as a previous, fantastic dictionary, please at least try to emulate it or at the very least explain why it's so appallingly different. I find it unbelievable that in addition to all the other features that have been taken away, like the declension, conjugation, and participle tables for each word, the flash cards, the sound modules, etc. I can't even link to other words by tapping (almost always not found), and I have to specify the dictionary before searching, where previously it was understood that if I typed a Russian word it meant I was automatically using the Russian dictionary. What happened here? There has to be a reasonable explanation for this kind of digression. Is there a "premium" version that's hiding somewhere? Because this certainly isn't the same product I purchased four-five years ago. Bring me 2010, please. Or the people who made that other app I came to love.

DO NOT BUY THIS!!
BC712

My old version just stopped working so I downloaded/bought the new one AND it is awful!! I wish I could get my money back!! The old one had pronunciation, flashcards and conjugation tables. The new version has none of that! Shame on you for screwing up what used to be the most awesome dictionary app .

Awful!
Dyche01

I have a hard time wrapping my head around how badly this app has been screwed up. I liked version 2.45 with its audio pronunciation, declension and conjugation tables, multiple definitions, and example idiomatic phrases. That's all gone now. This version borders on useless.

Sub-standard...
Knickerbocker 76

Issues: no case charts, poor verb conjugation, no audio, no flash-card option. Not sure why Oxford agreed to put their name on this sub-standard app. The older Paragon version was far superior. Unfortunately, it seems that Oxford severed ties with Paragon; thus it's not available for the newer OS.
