Absolute Garbage. I loved Longman dictionary but am totally disappointed by this because not what I expected from Longman. Please don't waste your money on this application. They updated it while ago and the words origin feature was gone. Now the example sentences audio is not working! I don't know why they charge people for such a useless app while you can use almost the same service free online.

The dictionary is good but the installation into S10+ is a disaster because of the never ending extraction of media files. Finally several attempts using "force close" and "clear cache" in the settings helped.

It's September 29, 2020, after a couple of months, still app's data doesn NOT extract!! I doubt if there are any developers at all for this app. Complete waste of time

I had given 1 star because I am also having issues with the app, now 3, because the technical support contacted me. The app window rolls up automatically when I reach the bottom and won't let me read part of the explanation of entries. [ ... I just got an email from Pearson Technical Product Support, I will keep you guys on the loop about my issue ...]

There seems to be real issue with this product management and technical team, who seems to be absolutely disinterested or doesn't care about customer service. Of late, the app's unique feature of pronunciation of example sentences stopped working in my Samsung flagship phone S10+, raised the issue, sent software version details but no response. These people seem to hell bent on damaging the reputation of LDOCE. Don't buy this pricey app and get cheated.

After " minor bug fixes and improvements " the app doesn't work anymore ... since January
