Setup & Offline Usage
- Install the app from Google Play
Search for Oxford Dictionary of English (the one by MobiSystems) and install it. - Open the app while online
Many offline features require an initial connection so the app can download the built-in dictionary data. -
Let the app download its database
The full word database is already included — this app is designed to work offline once installed (offline mode is supported in the paid version or after the initial download).- The offline database lets you search words without internet.
- Some features (like full audio pronunciations) might still need premium or online access.
- Launch the app while offline
Once installed and data initialized, just open the app and search words — it should work without a network. Offline use is a core feature of the official app.
Note:
- Some users report the free version’s offline support is limited and may push you toward premium features; the premium version gives full offline access.
- If the app still seems to require internet, it may be waiting to download the dictionary data — hook up to Wi-Fi and open the app so it finishes setup.
