The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary is the world’s bestselling advanced-level dictionary for learners of English. It has helped millions of learners to develop their English skills for work and study, and leads the way to more confident, successful communication in English. It contains over 86,000 words, 95,000 phrases, 112,000 meanings and 237,000 examples, all using clear and simple language to help non-native speakers learn more easily.

The Oxford Collocations Dictionary shows you which words work together and helps you express your ideas naturally and convincingly. It is especially useful for writing essays or preparing for exams in English. For example, which adjectives can you use to describe ‘scenery’? Which verbs can you use with ‘challenge’?

The Oxford Learner’s Thesaurus is a dictionary of synonyms that helps you to understand the differences between similar words, and to find the right words to say exactly what you mean. For example, is there a better word than ‘nice’? What is the difference between ‘easy’ and ‘simple’? What is a more formal synonym of ‘choice’?

Same problem like with many of the other reviewers: Suddenly the app is reduced to the preview stage as if I had not subscribed at all. SOLUTION: This seems to happen when Google Play Store has been put to sleep or deep sleep, which is usually done by the phone's owner, in this case by myself. Wake it up and OALD works again. So it is not a true offline-capable app in the end, which is too bad!

The app is great, and the content is very good, I love the fact that it has so many sentences recorded by native speakers. I had bought a monthly subscription, but after some time of working well it stopped responding and I just couldn't open it! It kept saying that I was subscribed but I just couldn't use it! Such a great frustration and disappointment! That's why I had to unsubscribe...

Prohibitively expensive. That's OALD in a nutshell. I've purchased the ninth and the tenth editions and the only upside is that you can download the content and view it when you're offline. The thing is, with internet connectivity getting better and rivals getting better, you don't really need it unless a dictionary is part of your professional requirement. Now, if they'd bundled at least a Thesaurus, I'd have given a glowing five-star review. The app also needs to be faster.
