This application is a complete misrepresentation. I paid the full price only to find out it is not an "Advanced Learner's" dictionary. It is missing far too many words you would find in other advanced learner's dictionaries such as the Longman or Oxford. On the linguistic front, there are many errors in definitions that it can be said that their 3rd edition was a much better product. The interface is looks rudimentary and the flash cards aren't anything to shout about. Overall, I would not recommend this product as it fails on the primary purpose which is to be able to provide a good definition of words and to have words one would consider necessary for an advanced learner. WARNING: As the product is purchased via in-app selection, you may not be able to get a refund even if you request for a refund within the two-hour window as per the Play store policy. Keeping my fingers crossed!

This trial app doesn't give any glimpse of full fledged functionality (at least for a few words). Hence it sounds incomplete and inferior in comparison to Oxford dictionary app (OALD). Does it have audio feature for example sentences readout (OALD has)? Without this information and visibility, it's not possible for me to proceed with the purchase of premium version.

Well there are plenty of good features in the premium version of this dictionary. First of all let me mention although you can use the complete free version of it through its website, for mobile version you have to pay...This dictionary provides words with both British and American accents, and also it is compiled with CEFR Level (A1 to C2) of words. Furthermore the definitions are clear and easy to understand. But they did not include all words from their free online version (maybe in future)
