Pros and cons of LDOCE (InApp) app for iPhone and iPad

LDOCE (InApp) app good for

I would gently ask you to remove and disconsider my previous review. In fact the app permits you to accede to a free upgrade by the sole press of a button. Probably I was not able to do that on account of a bad internet connexion. I apologise for my hurried ill judgement and thank for the developments which rendered the application even better.

I use this app everyday and it help me a lot with my English classes. I just want to see some voice command improvements on next versions, as we do with Siri on iPad.

Very hardly you wont find a world here! All definitions are clear. Full of using examples. It is simply the best dictionary you can have.

This is the best version that you can find of this dictionary. Very complete, with lots of example sentences (in app purchase). There are some other vendors here using the same name of this dictionary (LDOCE6 with the light blue icon) that is just a subset of this version here. Dont waste you money. Buy this version (or any other from this publisher), because they are far superior.

Its a good dictionary but there are some bugs that need fixing.

From point of me the LDOCE is the best English dictionary available in iTunes Store. I use it almost daily and appreciate it very much.

Some bad moments

O app possuí um número limitado de palavras para busca, quando é esgotado, vc deve comprar o app para continuar usando -- The app has a limited number of words to search when its over you must buy the app to continue using.

Não compre pois perdi meu dinheiro!! I bought one years ago, I went to install the new version and does not work "InApp" I sent email and the company does not respond!

Horrible system of in-app purchase! I spent a lot of money in this app and now they say I must send an email to activate it again! Why they dont just keep a "restore purchases" inside the app?? Furthermote, they dont answer the emails, like other people said. Im deeply dissapointed with this attitude.

I updated my application this morning, and after that the app is crashing and freezing all the time. Sometimes I cant even search for a word. Also it keeps showing a server error!! Dont update it.

I updated my app and after that I lost many of the bookmark words , mainly 2 words or phrasal verbs Customer service does not answer!Never

Makes you download the app to tell you that you must buy it to use...
