Worked ok for a long time and was very good ... but now has an error saying a data connection is needed ... even if connected. Uninstalled and reinstalled but same error.

N70%
by N####:

Although I am connected with internet notices that needs connection with internet

T70%
by T####:

Find meanings on the go...this is very useful. But, u need internet connection. Dosent take more than 2 to 3 seconds to display meanings and the origin of the word u search. Very informative.

Z70%
by Z####:

This app is indeed a must have by all enlightened personality: students, graduates, teachers, lecturers etc. Its importance can never be overemphasized. It's just too good. Though it works with network.

Z70%
by Z####:

It will be good if the word list is made available online as a pack. It is littered with apps also which makes it look tarty.

Z70%
by Z####:

I was well happy when I found this app & it was really useful, but recently it keeps saying that or can't be used without an internet connection, even when I have a good data connection, even when i'm connected to my wi fi. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling...the same. I know this is a free app so you don't owe us anything, but it would be great if it could be fixed. Thanks!

J70%
by J####:

I don't know what is wrong with the app. Even though i have a great internet connection but the app won't run. There is some serious bug crippling the app underneath. You should fix it real soon before it's too late. Don't you ever forget that there are other free dictionaries available in the market as well. If you don't fix this sooner,then people are consequently going to switch over to other product.Thank you.

Z70%
by Z####:

It looks like a great dictionary; I would like to use it so that I could get some idea of whether it would be worth the money to get one of Oxford's paid dictionaries. However, it seems to have an issue which prevents it from connecting to the internet, so I have not used it at all. I know I have a reliable connection, so there must be some bug. I would be happy to change my rating and review if it gets fixed.

Z70%
by Z####:

When I was started this app I just think that it was not understandable to after 2 or 3 days it gave me lots of help and because of I can understand easily lesson with myself but no offline system my humble request is to do this in offline than much more rate you will have plzzzz

X70%
by X####:

If u are searching for a good and fulfilling ideal dictionary just download this app its like zingat speed and all format with multi meanings.Baap of mini and speed dictionary..... just stop thinking download it now...its like brother of Oxford dictionary...... it gives feel of apnapan...small but selfcontaining so i say just DOWNLOAD it .........

Z70%
by Z####:

This dictionary suffers from a lack of a decent UI and subsequently creates a terrible experience trying to navigate to words. What's the point if the app requires an active connection? Might as well use Android's browser which performs better. The meanings are fine, but with this package, all it's doing is wasting your space and resources being on your device. Install WordWeb and be done with it.

That's incredible ! It is above reproach. Whatever you need is available and easily accessible. Hardly can one find a better dictionary app anywhere or even a match. I have the distinct pleasure to pay due homage to all who contributed to make this application highly satisfying and a tangibly real success. It deserves 10 stars. Congratulations !

This app is the official dictionary app created by Oxford Dictionaries. I tried to contact the team and they said 'Yes it is'. I'd give five star rating only if they could give more improvements on the spelling feature, as well as the phonetic transcription.
