Ox Customer Insights

1. And other clunky unintuitive stuff.This is NOT a free dictionary as it is described! Even the fine print in the agreements (yes I read all of them) doesn't mention that it's not a for free service.

2. Please let me know if I'm missing a non-subscription option!Whenever the dictionary would update, all of the words in my favorites list would link to the wrong word.

3. Beware!The quality of the Oxford English dictionary is of course well known, but without the full version you will see ads every 5 or so words.

4. That being said, the dictionary itself is good.The number of ads the free version has is ridiculous.

5. On the plus side the definitions are clear and concise.Good to have the Oxford dictionary, but the interface is clunky.

6. Also be good if you added a spot for things like homophones instead of only nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc..Well it's a renowned English dictionary.

7. Asking to upgrade to premium ever time I open the app or search a word is truly very distracting and obnoxious.

8. There is no thoughtfulness behind the words chosen (as on the official website, which actually has its own distinct WotD), and you can get random words yourself a number of ways.Agreed with other top reviewers.

9. I understand that a free service must have ads, but displaying an ad nearly everytime I search for a word is obnoxious.

10. Was tempted to dock 1 star for only having a random instead of curated word of the day, but I don't think that's enough to amount to a whole star.To many options.

11. Boo.I really love your oxford Russian-English dictionary, and I'd have no problem buying this app, but it looks like there's only a subscribe button.

  • Pls I'll like to cancel my subscription, I opt in for the free trial but forgot to cancel as the app didn't give me what I wanted, also the subscription is too expensive. Thanks
