Pros and cons of English Spanish Dictionary app for iPhone and iPad

English Spanish Dictionary app good for

This dictionary has it all: translations, definitions, many expressions and references , verbs conjugations and audio for tons of words. The use is simple and intuitive.
For me, to have the ability to look up a verb and see the full conjugation is a huge benefit when learning a new language. Definitions are also very helpful. Examples of how the word is used is another plus and extremely helpful. What can I say I love the app. Carl
If you are serious about finding both literal and nuanced definitions of nearly every Spanish word, then look no further. Besides the staggering number of entries and options available to customize the app, I feel the real strength and major selling point is the regular updates and personal responses to questions or complaints is second to none. I could say many more positives about this app, but will end by saying the only minor shortcoming might be the need for an internet connection for the spoken pronunciations. In my opinion this small inconvenience is far outweighed by the enormity of its data -base.
Robust translation dictionary. I love that it also contains definitions, so I dont have to keep switching between different dictionaries. Its intuitive and chock full of information. And I was extremely pleased to find that IPA transcriptions of pronunciations (for multiple dialects!) have been added. I had been wishing for this feature in a dictionary app. Now its an even stronger 5-star rating than before.
This came in really handy when traveling. Loaded it into both my iPod and iPad so I would always have it with me. Solved a lot of communication problems for me. I was hoping it would translate whole sentences (it does some but only if they are common expressions) but it was still really helpful for me as a speaker of Spanglish.
I use this app every day in my reading and Spanish studies. It should be a model for all dictionary apps. Its only drawback is its size on the device, but that is also its strength: its really thorough.

Some bad moments

The content is excellent. However, airport to the app which do not work well with iOS voiceo oVer. On balance, this is the best Spanish English dictionary for people with visual disabilities
This great app allows me to learn and understand new Spanish words. My vocabulary has improved.
I really like this dictionary. I think its great for those who have a very good grasp of both languages since sometimes you need to be able to decide which meaning to choose based on the context.
This is a first-rate app. The dictionary is in fact very nearly comprehensive--at least for words in Spanish--and is very easy to use. Ive seldom experienced any sort of technical glitch. Excellent!
Many good features (voice, phonics, definitions) reasonable price, no complaints would recommend 4 stars rating, nothing is perfect
I like the fact that when you have looked up a word you can add it to your favourites and then run the flash cards on those favourites to help you learn rather than just keep looking up. I also like the examples of where the word is used in sentenses. It is worth the money
