    This app could use improvement, a lot of the terms seem to be opinionated rather than meaningful, can we get some verbatim definitions of the topics. But nonetheless there’s tons of material that give support to endeavours.
  • Good info but tired of request for rating

    I’m a philosophy nerd and am pursuing a grad degree. This serves a very simple-yet-effective reference guide for a field that requires a great deal of semantic knowledge.
  • Excellent guide

    For anyone who wants to learn more about philosophy, or who needs a refresher on logic, and the history of human thought...look no further.

    The front page of the app is mostly taken up with ads pushing you to get others of OUP’s products. Every time I open it I’m asked in an obnoxious pop up for a five star review. The visual style of the app is gallingly boxy and harsh. I’d expect more, Oxford! You’re developers clearly either fit the stereotype of the robotic analytic philosopher or are unconcerned with the inherent value of their work for the user.
  • Great reading, a couple drawbacks

    I appreciate the prompts in the morning to random topics, which lead to brief summaries and links to other topics. I don't seem to be able to select text in the view to look up in the dictionary, run translation, save a quote, or make a note without copying the whole entry to the notes app. That seems to be a bug in the view, but otherwise it's good information and enjoyable reading.
  • Oxford kept their bargain

    Initially I bought Webster’s Dictionary, but they didn’t keep their word. Oxford works very well, and they update on a regular basis.
  • Good reference
