Pros and cons of Collins Spanish-English app for iPhone and iPad

Collins Spanish-English app good for

This is an amazing dictionary. Im a university student, and Ive used it quite often as i am taking a few Spanish courses. The program is quite responsive and have a nice and clean user interface. If I type in "habla" or "hablas", it would find "hablar" automatically for me. I found this really useful when i didnt know the infinitive of the verb. And Verb Conjugator is absolutely amazing. It finds all the tenses in indicative as well as in SUBJUNCTIVE. There has not been a word i could not find on this dictonary yet. I recommend this to everyone who wants to replace their paperback spanish dictionary.

I must say this dictionary is the one I was looking for. Perfect for any Spanish learners. I was hesitated because of the slightly high price, however, I am very satisfied now and I do not think that I waste any penny to this application. Everyone who is doubting to the value of the application must click to buy it now. You wont regret.

I have had several versions of the Franklin Electronic dictionaries and trust me I believe this beats them hands down at a fraction of the cost. Do yourself a favour and buy this app its worth every penny and you wont regret it.

I just spent 2 weeks taking Spanish lessons in Oaxaca Mexico and this app was a life saver. Everyone else in class had dictionaries and I was always the first one with the answer. Our teacher was very envious and was always amazed at the depth of the information supplied with a translation. Easily the best value of any app I have bought.

I bought this app before heading down to Mexico for a holiday. Id taken Spanish courses in high school 20 years ago so I needed something to fill in the gaps in my memory, and this app did the job. Not only does it give you the definintions both ways but it gives lots of examples of usage. On top of this, it conjugates pretty much any verb in any tense.

This app is amazing! The only thing that would make it better is if the search bar remained at the top of all screens. When you open it, it takes you back to the last word you were on which is great. However, its really annoying that you then have to press back to get to search again - it should just always be at the top. Otherwise, perfecto!

Some bad moments

Id like to use this on my iPad as well but it doesnt scale up very nicely. Your Ultralingua cheaper versions are already iPad updated but not the Collins Pro.

Generally, when apps are updated, they are improved. With this update, you have removed a lot of the content of the previous version which I used regularly. This app was not inexpensive and if Id had any idea you were going to eliminate at least half of the sentence examples and the Spanish equivalents for Spanish words, I would never have purchased it. Please either give me back the old version or return my money.

I have used the iPhone app of this dictionary for several years. Each version tends to lose functionality and ease-of-use. In addition it is odd that there are numerous verbs which are conjugated but they have no translation! It is a bit hard to understand why a dictionary would not give you the meaning of a word!

The dictionary is excellent and provides real-world examples. However, the content of the dictionary is about the only thing good I can say about this product. For $25, it should include a flash card mode and some Spanish learning games - the portable electronic Franklin translators are only a bit more and include all this! When a definition is looked up, you can choose to follow the links to a definition for a new word, a conjugation, or look it up in Google. Great, but this is only for the target language. Did it not occur to you that one might want to look up a word or a phrase from the source language too? This is a no-brainer. The interface overall is clumsy, there is no landscape mode, when you switch from Dictionary to Conjugate or vice versa it does not automatically carry the word. For $25?!?!? Come on people. Hopefully ultralingua will take this feedback and provide some free updates for those of us who threw down the cash.

I paid almost $25 and no audio pronunciation, that is very bad, So what this app. has different from the other that make it too expensive??ahhh is just because is from Ultralingua :-(

If I had the time, I would make a list of all the words this dictionary doesnt include. Its practically useless. Dont buy it! I wouldnt download it again even if it were free.
