Hi,

I need a decent English learner's dictionary for my iPhone 4. At home I use Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (I'm myself from Poland) and I'm happy with it. I don't have much experience with Longman dictionaries but my sister - who studies English philology - claims they're worse.

And now the app question. After looking at many possibilities I restricted myself to the following ones:
App Store - Oxford Advanced Learner
App Store - Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English -5th

Longman's app was created some time ago, it has a lot of opinions and it gets updated from time to time; Oxford's app is quite fresh. That's why I'm confused about all that.

It's a pity it's not possible to just test these apps before deciding which one to buy. I don't want to jailbreak voiding my warranty and pirate both those apps just to discover which one of them would fit me better.

Any help? If someone was able at least to direct me to a video review or presentation where I could see both of them (or at least one) in action...

Thanks for help in advance!

EDIT: nevermind, I bought the Oxford one.
