This app is not linked to their website. Avoid paying for a useless dictionaryThis Oxford Dictionary app is practically useless, especially for a paid app. Even after purchasing it, I can’t use my login details to access my account and save words on the Oxford website when using my desktop computer. It doesn’t help me track my vocabulary learning, and I can’t add words that…

Premium level includes adsI have paid for the premium level for this app for close to three years and just started getting ads. I canceled my subscription and deleted the app.
