User Reviews for Longman Dictionary of English

Used to be the best

Newer versions are meant to be better and improved not worse and abbreviated. The previous version was much better, heavily loaded with information and entries and updated on regular basis. Now, even the definition of some words can’t be read unless you copy the word to clipboard and paste it somewhere else. There is no reference to synonyms or antonyms; to mention but a few. People responsible for such an update must be questioned. l’m bitterly disappointed.

Half of the definition is missing

This app has always been very informative and user-friendly, but Right after the latest update, whenever I search a word and it starts defining, half of the definition sentence is missing. The example sentences, however, are there and correct. I hope this gets fixed soon.

Improvement and my 2 suggestions

Suggestion 1. It is too hard to access the word information, verb table, and thesaurus, which are all hidden under the "i" button. Those information are so useful, and the design makes me feel inconvenient in comparison to the LDOCE5. I suggest to move those information to the very top of the interface.Suggestion 2. The status bar is all-black when using the app. At least shows the time and the battery.Other than these, I think this app is pretty robust. But before you fix it, I will still suggest others to stay on LDOCE5.

Looking forward to LDOCE5 features

- No Split screen in iPad- No phrasal verb searchI'm a LDOCE5 lover. After thinking for a couple of weeks, I made my mind to buy this worse version. Without "phrase search" you get no result for very basic search query such as "look forward" and it's disappointing. The only reason that I bought this app was to support LDOCE team. Please update your app!

Not working recently

Best dictionary in my opinion, but unfortunately it doesn't work for my 32bit iPhone 5, with iOS 10.3.3 version.I'm using the last version of the map and don't know what to do moreI cant go back to previous versions too.I'm really sadPlease HELP

The new version is even worse!

I’ve been using this app for a long time. The last update took away all the searching options. We used to be able to search idioms, expressions and phrasal verbs but now, the only available search option is the head word.And now, this new version is literally broken. The definitions are not complete. They aren’t even finished, let alone defining! It seems like a huge bug, and has made the app almost entirely useless. As a user who paid A LOT for this app years ago, I’m not satisfied AT ALL.

Don’t have most words that I need help with

This dictionary has very limited vocabulary, I used to get longman perhaps a year or two ago with better vocabulary, then I had a new phone, all of a sudden I couldn’t find the old longman, mistakenly, i downloaded this dictionary and purchased the service, it does not worse the money at all. Not even close to what I expected from it. Don’t waste your money on this one!

Horrible, horrible, horrible.

I just don't know why you thought there is a need for a 6th edition. The 5th was the best of all. It was actually my favorite dictionary and now regret that I bought this poor one. Less content. Also, If I want to l want to know about a word info I have to click, then a stupid notification pops up and say something around "do you want to see the word information?" Well, hell yea I want to. The layout is not at all user-friendly. I wish there was zero stars, because one star is a lot for it.

Search issues

When I want to search something, search icon doesn't work, so have to go to menu and have to tap search icon and it only works in that way for one word. If I want to search another word, I have to go to menu and have to tap search again. To add insults to injuries, half of search bar is covered by its oulines contents. So I can't tap on search bar to find next new word and I have had it here with this search icon issue all the time. So may I suuggest to check the app carrfully before launching it. I would be happy if you guys fix it in the shortest time. Bcoz I rely on this diction.. App. Thanks.
