An excellent help for ESL student, very easy to use and understand. It is definitely worth its price!
I have the Longman Advanced American Dictionary and CD ROM as well, and I dont like carrying it around, too heavy. Now, I can carry the dictionary in my iPhone, v 1.4.1
I would like to see some updates implemented for the iPhone:
1) flip through from word to word. Now, you have to go back and then select the next word in the dictionary. Samething for the favorites list.
2) Implement multiple favorite lists, not only one
3) Be able to see horizontal on the iPhone
4) I would like to be able to record myself pronouncing a word and replay it. (This option is available in the CD but not in the iPhone)
This is a really good dictionary, which includes the pronunciation in IPA and you can listen how to pronounce the words.
Its the best dictionary.... easy to use always there is something new
The dictionary is perfect, but some words that arent included pronunciation. When I pressed audio of some words, it didnt work at all. Please fix it.
I really love all the Longman dictionaries that I use (Advanced American, Phrasal Verbs, Idioms and Activator). I think they are the best on the market.
The only problem is that I always have to switch between them. It would be much more handily to have one Longman dictionary application and pluggable dictionaries designed as in-app purchases (like in Lingvo). It would undoubtedly be 5 stars.
Some bad moments
I expected this dictionary application because it was by Longman. But when I downloaded it and started using, my expectation was suddenly changed to disappointment. Its menu icons such as "Dictionary" "Favorites" "Search" especially "History"!! are very unclear. In fact, you can find it now in the above screenshots. It really disappointed me. If you want to use standard designed application, I recommend you to choose another dictionary.
I recently upgraded my dictionary, previous one worked excellent, but after upgrading my LAAD app stopped responding.
I love this App, but Its not longer working after you upgrade your devices to IOS 7.1. If you cant finish your printing at first 5 second the App will die. The the only thing you can do is close App. Please fix it ASAP
Used to be a good app with activator in app purchase - after transferring from iTunes to iPhone 6 its stop responding - also unable to download the paid add in activator.
Contacted developer so many times with no response.
I think they abandoned this app.
Do not buy.
