What Oxford English Dictionary users report about billing
Users frequently complain about the app's heavy reliance on ads, even in the premium version, and its inability to function offline despite being marketed as an offline dictionary. Many also express frustration with the app's slow performance and limited functionality in the free version, which restricts word searches to just one or five per day.

Oxford English Dictionary cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling Oxford English Dictionary stop the charges immediately?
No. Canceling stops future renewals but you keep access until the end of the billing period you already paid for. After that date Oxford English Dictionary will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.
Can I get a refund from Oxford English Dictionary?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by Oxford English Dictionary directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the Oxford English Dictionary charge and choose Request a refund. On Android, open the Play Store order history, select the purchase and tap Report a problem. Requests made within 48 hours are often approved automatically.
Why is Oxford English Dictionary still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows Oxford English Dictionary as Expired), you have a second subscription under a different Apple ID or Google account, or you canceled inside the app but not in the store where billing actually lives. Cancel it in the App Store subscription settings to be sure.
How do I delete my Oxford English Dictionary account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the Oxford English Dictionary app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the App Store and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.
Will I lose access to Oxford English Dictionary right after I cancel?
No. You keep full access to Oxford English Dictionary until the paid period ends, so there is no benefit to waiting. Cancel as soon as you decide, and enjoy the remaining days you already paid for.
