  • The best EFL/ESL dictionary

    By Alex Linguist (Pcmac user)

    Most recent update: Turns out deleting/reinstalling the app solves the problem for iPhone X. This is the best ESL/EFL dictionary (that is, its contents). The app, however, is subpar. No updates for a year, and it’s not optimized for iPhone X. Update: I think we should be able to (globally) customize what all entries should look like, so that if I need examples or collocations I wouldn't have to tap buttons all the time. Second, even though the app runs well on both my iPhone (6s plus) and iPad Pro, it doesn't look good on the iPad Pro. I'd appreciate if you could release an update for the iPad Pro, and not just in the landscape mode. Honestly, I don't quite like the landscape mode. Finally, a suggestion to lexicographers of LDOCE. Please make sure all lemmas have at least one full-sentence example. This feature is critical to L2 English learners. Previous review: I have virtually all the dictionary apps but LDOCE-6 is the best. Well-chosen examples, with audio, lots of useful information (collocations, thesaurus, frequency, etymology). Most importantly, this dictionary is the result of careful, corpus-based research done by professional lexicographers and not some easily googlable free stuff hastily put together. Strongly recommend to serious learners of English.
  • Improvement and my 2 suggestions

    By chialungni (Pcmac user)

    Suggestion 1. It is too hard to access the word information, verb table, and thesaurus, which are all hidden under the "i" button. Those information are so useful, and the design makes me feel inconvenient in comparison to the LDOCE5. I suggest to move those information to the very top of the interface. Suggestion 2. The status bar is all-black when using the app. At least shows the time and the battery. Other than these, I think this app is pretty robust. But before you fix it, I will still suggest others to stay on LDOCE5.
  • Needs improvement

    By Akiiiiiiiu (Pcmac user)

    Im using this dictionary for years, honestly speaking, LDOCE was much better and simpler, i need the quick access to collocations and phrasal verbs . I hope in new update we’ll be able to have a quick access to the phrasal verbs.
  • Horrible, horrible, horrible.

    By qaderja (Pcmac user)

    I just don't know why you thought there is a need for a 6th edition. The 5th was the best of all. It was actually my favorite dictionary and now regret that I bought this poor one. Less content. Also, If I want to l want to know about a word info I have to click, then a stupid notification pops up and say something around "do you want to see the word information?" Well, hell yea I want to. The layout is not at all user-friendly. I wish there was zero stars, because one star is a lot for it.
