Thanks, we finally found the problem - forgot that there's a different file catalog being delivered to the current public beta than to the current internal one

Weird - here's a manual link to the data file:

azcdn.pleco.com/packages/p4d...

Can you try downloading that, *not* unzipping it, sharing that zip file with Pleco and opening it in "File Manager"?

That's odd - does Registration / 'check for new purchases' help?
August 19, 2025 at 9:09 PM
But 4.0 doesn't support in-app purchases (Apple doesn't let you charge people for stuff in betas) so if you didn't buy it in 3.0 on some other device you'd need to buy it through the website

Sorry, should be up now - it's a bit janky but the links / tables all seem to work

You can get the US$29.99 price on our web store store.pleco.com

(there are some complicated nuances to that relationship which we don't need to get into here, but if Harvard is ever interested in selling us the print rights we'd love to do a printed 7/e ourselves)

Sorry for the slow reply. Yeah, it should still be in "Add-ons" - are you using the 4.0 beta by any chance? We aren't able to sell add-ons in that, but you can buy it through our website.

Update: we've released a new 4.0 beta that should get it to be functional (albeit still with some visual glitches) on iOS 26.

We're probably also going to start offering discounted upgrades from individual add-ons to bundles - and maybe even "X % off if you buy X or more dictionaries" type stuff - since with a website we can do arbitrary pricing for arbitrary stuff and aren't bound by what's possible with Apple IAP
May 1, 2025 at 4:32 PM
It's possible we'll also end up making some add-ons exclusive to our website store, e.g. to reduce paperwork for low-volume long-tail type add-ons or even because it's the only way we can offer a new title (e.g. if it's a % based on sales price and there'd be no money left for us after paying Apple)
May 1, 2025 at 4:32 PM
Update: we're waiting a bit on the direct sales update, as we have a number of new add-ons we were already planning to launch soon and want to roll out that and web purchasing at the same time (likely with lower prices for web purchases, at least in some cases)

This is a glorious day, one we’ve been waiting for since 2009, and while very much delayed, it is, nevertheless, justice for app developers at last
May 1, 2025 at 12:27 AM
Sorry for the slow reply. It doesn't look like our version has the same mistake - we did our own conversion from the original InDesign files so there's no particular reason to expect we'd have the same mistakes (though there could always be different ones introduced on our end).
April 1, 2025 at 1:22 PM
We’ve seen more of the latter so far, but will cover whatever sticks

Thanks! Not currently possible under our license with them, unfortunately, though depending on how the app works it's possible you could read their books on Android with our Screen Reader function.

Not at the moment - I don't think our PDF library supports a different approach to dark mode - but a good idea for the future.
December 31, 2024 at 1:02 AM
Nothing like that at the moment - people occasionally ask for a 'tip jar' but we generally just recommend that you find some other Pleco add-on you might consider useful and buy that :-)
