Excellent! but the previous edition's version, LDOCE 5 was very smooth than the current one. Hope in next update it will also run smoothly

Longman's trusted dictionary, handy on mobile, what else would someone want? Intuitive, predictive, an authoritative resource, nicely interfaced and designed! Thank you! It stops some times, for my Galaxy note 9, but I don't mind. Besides, it's completely free!!! Well done!!!

Where are pronunciations? 🤔

Behnam bafkar

Pronunciation is not working and if often doesn't stay at page no.2 , font size is small it would be better if its size would be bigger than it has.

Really a bad app, the site was much better. The site had Longman Language Activator and much better text coloring. This app has lots of flaws and it takes forever to extract files. Don't waste your time to dowbload.

Best English dictionary app. A few years back 2018/19 it was too costly. But all of sudden just now I noticed it is free! 😍
