American Heritage Dictionary, Fifth Edition App Reviews

I rely on this app and have for years. I have it on both my iPhone and iPad. Unfortunately, since iOS 9 it is broken. Tries to start but doesnt. Hope that the next update fixes it.

This is the precisest dictionary Ive ever seen. Synonyms and Usage Notes are especially of great help to advanced learners of English.

I bought this app expressly for the sound file and so far on an iPad Air with IOS 9 there is no way I can make it work. I want a refund!

pronunciation button is not work.

Dictionary itself is good, but app doesnt work on iOS 8

Great dictionary. It has integration with LDOCE5 and same set of features

Tap "search" icon, crash the app. Every time.

The app shuts itself off instantly. No longer works!

I gave it a 4 because I have faith they will fix this app from shutting down when I hit the search tab. Please fix soon!

I normally have no problem with this, but currently it crashes immediately upon search. I am deeply disappointed that the developer so badly dropped the ball on this one. They had months to make sure this app was ready for the upgrade and they failed. To fellow current owners: A workaround is possible by using the index, for those who have the misfortune of dealing with this search crash. It takes maybe 15-30 seconds depending on how close the word is to the indexed points.

Broken!

Ive been using this dictionary for years. Its a great dictionary with a lot of useful capabilities but I think its horrible that they force you to repurchase it. Now that I bought it it crashes! Useless

Search function crashes app instantly. Others have mentioned using the Index as a workaround, but that is broken as well - the app now thinks that the entire English language consists of only those words that start with "W". For an app this expensive, it should have been updated by the time iOS 8 was released. Very disappointed.

You cannot lookup any words! It is broken. Do not buy until they fix!

iOS8 was released on Sept. 17. Over two weeks later, and the AHD iPhone app still is incompatible with the OS: it wont even load. Someone dropped the ball in a big way. A day or two of downtime regarding a scheduled software upgrade I can see. But more than two weeks?! Reminder: People *paid* to use this app on their phones. You havent been giving it away as a freebie.

Great dict., worked well until iOS9 came out. Now crashes every time.

I went to the developers website and didnt see anything about the problem with IOS9 so I am reporting it here too. Crashes each time you try to open it

Immediately crashes the app on this iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 9.0.2. "Runtime error." Should be zero stars.

Really? This update crashed immediately as described by others, rendering a previously stellar app useless. Deleting and reinstalling has no effect. Wheres the quality control?

Latest update has caused the application to stop working...crashes
