My Life is Forever Changed
I can’t state this with more clarity: this dictionary saved my life.
basic navigation features don’t work!
not possible to nav back to home/start screen after looking up a word. the back arrow doesn’t work. i have to literally reboot the app in order to look up a new word. running iOS 15.3 on iPhone 13 pro max
Is this a joke app?
Search only provides audio pronunciations, word classification and literally nothing else.
Great Resource
This is a great and easy to use resource for word translations.
Very poor for Swedish, and buggy
The dictionary for Swedish is tiny, and missing huge amounts of absolutely essential vocab. It’s no better (and is perhaps worse) than one of those tiny pocket dictionaries. I haven’t used it much for other languages, but the size of dictionary appears small (relative to Collins’ dedicated dictionaries) in Polish and German, too.
It’s also currently buggy: it often switches from Swedish <=> English into an unwanted combination (eg Turkish <=> English) and then won’t let me switch it back.
Collins need to do at least two things for this to be worth a subscription: put their full dictionaries into this product, and make the basic interface work reliably! In the mean time, free apps like Linguee or Babla are much better.

Can’t get it to work
I’ve been trying to get the app to translate from French to English without success. It’s easier (and free) simply to Google the word you want translated.
Totally useless
The “Help” instructions simply don’t work. Whatever pair of languages are in the operating windows cannot be changed or deleted. Since they’ve got my money with no way to get it back I have to chalk this up to an undesirable experience.

Very good dictionary. I still have paperback version of Dictionary/Thesaurus...
Not much good
I thought this was a proper Collins dictionary, but it isn’t. It gives bare bones of translations. It is not much use if you want to understand words in context.
