Morning time ,

Years of satisfactory answers

I have had this app for years. I use it almost on a daily basis. I cannot recollect a single time where I have not been completely satisfied with the definitions I have found. This is truly a tool for increasing our understanding of the world and I am deeply grateful to the makers of this app.

Not honest

I bought this years back at a considerable cost (39.9$) and couple of years later they stopped updating in App Store. As a result all the dictionaries by Enfour, of which I actually bought quite a few, stopped working on new iOS. Then they would start selling the same title at a higher price. So, as a verified buyer, before you decide to buy, think twice. BTW, they do have a tech support: it’s one man shop I guess.
just received an answer from the developer claiming they have regularly updated their products. I pulled back one of the titles I bought Rogets II Thesaurus, and as of now it requires an update which is not available unless you buy it again @$6.99. ( I wish I could upload the screenshot to this rating) My American Heritage deluxe version stopped working at least 3years ago due to its lack of update and ergo incompatibility with the new iOS.
So i stand by my claim and urge buyers be aware of Enfour products: they are expensive, they don’t update forcing you to buy a new version and yes, their tech support is one man show at least in the past few years.

Developer Response ,

This app has been updated regularly for over 10 years. Just look at the version history. More than 20 updates in the past two years alone. Our apps have never been far behind any OS update.
We are definitely not a one-man shop.
Please do not mislead our customers.

My go to Dictionary.

A few years back the developers had made a decision to stop supporting and updating this app, meaning eventually an update to the iSO would kill it. I don’t know how many people pushed back, I know I did. Hats off and thanks to the developers for re-thinking that decision.

Developer Response ,

We never stopped supporting it. Updates were slow for a while -due to issues beyond our control. They are coming thick and fast now.
