Decent dictionary but needs more features for the money and interface is lacking
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.
