I would like to see the search bar on top of every page or on a pullout menu. When I search for a word, I want all related words on one page, incl. synonyms, sentence examples, etc.

Best dictionary ever

First, I have trouble to look (of) in the app but only find a lot of related stuff. Second, the function of sharing of this app is quite uneasy to use, like I offend have trouble when I want to share something by email. Third, have trouble when search some words written in American way, or old fashioned way. I had published my review about 2 months ago, still no updates for this app. All the problems still exist. I even find more, when sharing with OneNote, not all the formats can not apply but can do so when sharing with Email, which sometimes crashes down, and can never share through again unless I re-download this app. Please fix! 1 star until problem solved.

The dictionary itself is really great for learners of English as a second language but there is no way to transfer bookmarks and favorites to other devices and it's a big disappointment.

Excellent dictionary but was hoping for something closer to the famed OED. I have tried looking up words that this version does not recognize (not curse words but what is known as "10 dollar words") A bit pricy, but still worth it overall.

- Super easy to use. - Tons of words and sentences. - Human voice of both accents are superb.

A must-have App because it works even if you are offline, an excellent feature that other dictionaries in the store don't have. The only problem is that the "Search box" disappear in snap view after finding the meaning of a word and you have to go back to search a new word. Please do something to have "Search box" always. Make this one an universal app to be used in both windows tablets and windows phones.

The audios are superb, the only bad thing that I found was that the definitions sometimes are not as complete as in the Oxford web site (which is free).

OALD8 is no doubt the best advanced learner's dictionary in every sense of the word. However, I don't understand why this app has not been designed like the stand-alone user-friendly CD-ROM edition. After using it for a few months, I find the following flaws which keep me wanting to uninstall the app: 1) It is time-consuming and tedious to search a new entry. On this I agree with one of the reviewers. Why not simply place the Search box in a convenient place and let it always stay there no matter which page the user browses? 2) Horizontal scrolling is not intuitive at all, especially when the definitions/examples are arranged in small columns that tire the eye easily. Vertical scrolling will make it easier to find the definitions, examples, etc. 3) OUP has very good dictionaries of thesaurus and collocations. Why not incorporate them into this app? Thesaurus and collocations are very essential to advanced learners! If these are fixed, the app will provide terrific user experience.
