Sad day on the app store front

I went to look up a word on my phone and… my oxford american dictionary has vanished. Although it’s still in iTunes under my purchase history, it’s not in the store and didn’t get reloaded into my phone. What’s up with that?

I’m guessing it’s abandoned and not updated to iPhone 5 but still. Given the large number of words I’ve looked up I guess I can’t complain about the cost of buying into another version, this time from Oxford U itself (hoping that they’ll keep it going indefinitely).

Still and all, having a powerful dictionary in my pocket is up there with having a whole wide range of music in there.

Ex-Oxford
