Yes it is not the full OED. The app NEVER claimed to be! The title is the SHORTER Oxford English Dictionary. If you buy this dictionary and expect the OED you simply have not looked at what you are buying. The app itself is really fine and will meet the needs of almost everone.
Not sure why some reviewers have a low opinion of this app. As far as the comment posted in the "Not as advertised" review that the dictionary "barely cover [sic] a moducum [sic] of depth, the dictionary correctly reports "moducum" is spelled "modicum!" I have two masters degrees and currently a doctoral student; this dictionary certainly meets my needs.
First, regarding the “Beware” review: OBVIOUSLY this is not the full Oxford English Dictionary. That would take 30 gigabytes and cost over $700 (USD) to license, and contains mostly historical roots. That is a great product, but totattly different. It’s really unfair to judget this great product just because the purchase could not figure out that this is a totally different product for a different purpose. What a great deal it would be to get a $700 product for $10. But for ordinary writing, and research this is the best dictionary I find. Here is my review of this product: These WordWeb dictionaries (Shorter Oxford English Dictionary in this case) are basically an exceptional replacement for the built-indictionaries in Android. The content is very well organanized, and the interface is up-to-date with the latest improvements in Android. As far as content, it does not get any better than Oxford and Chambers. Of course it would be amaziang to have the entire Oxford English Dictionary, but that license is impossible to obtain and would cost $1,000. But for everyday use this is a fantastic set of products. If you have not looked, check out the other offerings by this developer. I have used these WordWeb softwares for 9 years (since 2009) before they were on the App Store. They are truly excellent for writers, academics, and other researchers. Fast, efficient with good content. (I am also putting this review on the other WordWeb App Store products I own, because they really are part of an integrated product.)
The definitions in in this dictionary barely cover a moducum of depth. Shallow and rather boring content.
