Latest reviews of Oxford American English app for iPhone and iPad
Very fast.
I did not need to buy this at all. I never imagined something with Oxford dictionary name is so poorly made and sold this expensive. NO use as thesaurus, neither. I want a refund, too.
Very nice app
This app is more correct than both of its direct competitors. They follow more of the old school rules of proper English.
Oxford Dictionaries recently named “selfie” as the word of the year. Nevertheless, it’s nowhere to be found in the Oxford American Dictionary.
