.77 cents Per WeekFor a dictionary. I will just drive to the library and look up words then.

Too many adsI was just trying to look up words. But it’s constantly throwing ads in my face. Asking you to upgrade. I didn’t like that.

Yikes.Can’t even look up words without being bombarded with ads. The app becomes aggressive when you choose not to go with premium. This is definitely want the owners wanted but honestly, the aggressive ads is disgusting.

The King’s LanguageOxford Dictionaries & Thesaurus’ have been my staple since primary school when my late father was training me to articulate myself. I’m pleased to have this edition as a companion over three decades later.

Worth Every Single PennyThe OED is the definitive dictionary & thesaurus of the English lexicon and as such no other product can realistically compare. Whilst the App does not have the complete set of functions that are available on the OED website the ability to download the individual language dictionaries is invaluable…

Love itA little reefer and a dictionary … who knew?
