User Reviews

Reviewers largely praise Oxford Deluxe for its breadth—a comprehensive dictionary and strong thesaurus with clear etymology and ongoing updates. However, the app is frequently criticized for an outdated, awkward UI; awkward navigation between dictionary and thesaurus; reports of incomplete content (abridged OED and missing words); stability issues (crashes, freezing, licensing quirks); and high price relative to perceived value. Overall, content quality is high, but usability, reliability, and cost concerns repeatedly temper the positive feedback.

Pros

Comprehensive dictionary and thesaurus in one app, widely described as a one-stop resource.
High-quality definitions with etymology, idioms, and usage guidance.
Ongoing updates and compatibility with new iOS devices, indicating sustained support.
Indispensable thesaurus content for writers and academics.
One-time purchase model with no ongoing subscription.

Cons

Outdated, non-modern UI/UX with fonts and color schemes that feel stuck in the past.
Content can be incomplete or abridged; not a full OED and some words are missing.
Cumbersome navigation between dictionary and thesaurus; results often require extra steps.
Stability issues including crashes, freezes, and error messages; compatibility problems on older devices.
High price relative to value; perceived lack of full language coverage and recurring performance issues.

I’ve used this app almost every day for the last 15 years. I’ve written countless essays and letters with this app as my partner. This is exactly what you need to accomplish your biggest goals and dreams; I mean this literally. I use it on my phone and my computer. Whenever I open Word, this app gets opened alongside. It’s truly indispensable and I’m deeply grateful. 🙏

Here are just two reasons why this app should be avoided: 1) You can't choose what type of font you want! An English dictionary where you can't choose the font! 2) This version includes a thesaurus, but you have to physically choose the thesaurus to see the results. In other words the app does not present the results of a searched word within one window. Instead you must choose dictionary and then thesaurus to see the results - every time! The app is also poorly designed. It does look as though it was developed in the 1980's and a developer just ported it over from a windows version. For the price the developers should have produced a much more functional dictionary/thesaurus. Avoid this app.
