Leave a Review Ultralingua Spanish
Best Spanish-English language app by a mile
Worth every penny. Look up a word and get not only definition but virtually every idiom and common phrase using that word. Get full conjugations of verbs in an easy to use format.
Easy to use. Fully accessible off-line, a very important feature when traveling to avoid roaming data charges.
Recent update seems to make it even easier to use, since dictionary and conjugator are integrated.
One of my most treasured appsShow lessviaixtapa
A linguist's dream
This app is amazing. When you look something up, it presents you with a wide range of possible meanings, tons of idiomatic expressions, and also the next several head words alphabetically- so you can discover other words just like when you use a real dictionary!
Unlike a dictionary, however, Ultralingua will correct my spelling. If I hear a word and spell it with an s rather than a z or c, the dictionary will automatically suggest the correct spelling.
Might be best for people with a bit of Spanish already, so that when you look up a conjugated verb form and the dictionary autosuggests the infinitive form, you can recognize it and see what's going on. I don't mind that a bit, though, and I would give this app eight stars if I could. I have recommended it to several people already!Show lessSmorbly

I've looked up words I wanted to learn and words they never teach you but that most people use (you know what I'm talking about). It has it all! I also find it extremely helpful that it will conjugate verbs with the touch of a button. It also has a great feature that, when you look up a word, it shows phrases using that word and words that come before and after it in the dictionary. I've learned a lot by scrolling through that info whenever I look something up. If you need a serious language app that you can count on, this one is definitely worth the money.Show lessBayou Pilot
Fantastic app for students
I bought this for my AP Spanish class this year and I've been using it on my Summer assignments. It's incredibly handy and convenient. Beats looking up words in dictionaries, or pulling out separate books for verb conjugations - just search for a verb to conjugate in all tenses. I haven't yet come across a word which wasn't in its database. The dictionary is great, lots of detail and description but not overwhelming. Easy to access. Looking up and conjugating verbs is extremely easy and reliable. The numbers feature is really handy although I don't need it as much. Might be more handy if I went to a Spanish-speaking country and had to figure out how to say the total on a bill or something, but not so much for a classroom setting. Overall an extremely easy-to-use, reliable and helpful app. I'm using it on my iPod Touch 1st gen and it works perfectly. DEFINITELY worth the $20 for someone in an educational environment like me. 5 stars!Show lessBen Hummel
Great!
I would love to give this a 5 star rating but I think it is a bit overpriced. If it was just a little bit cheaper I would definitely give it a 5! With that being said I love this app! I almost have a whole book shelf filled with spanish dictionaries and references books but this little app I actually refer to the most! 2 great things about this is that it is portable and requires no internet access! I just keep my iPod in my purse, no need to drag my big clunky laptop or big dictionary around everywhere I go when I have this! I also love the numbers and how it has conjugations to every verb and every tense....right at my fingertips! Although it was a bit spendy I don't at all regret buying this! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn Spanish this will take you there!Show lessBabbbbikakes
Excellent
I used this dictionary during a series of trips to Peru to work on a documentation project and found it totally indispensable. As a linguist I can attest to the quality of the software and have little doubt that it is the best dictionary app around. The sample sentences are great, the look-up method is handy, and the ease of use and intuitive design make this program a must-have for anyone learning Spanish or traveling to a Spanish-speaking country.
Good job, Ultralingua.Show lesszabucha
WOW!
I purchased this App last night. I started to use it this morning on some Spanish homework and I couldn't stop. It was so useful and easy to use. I normally use a Franklin Spanish-English electronic translator (which cost me nearly $50); however, this App is so much better and easier to read. Compared to what I paid for the Franklin Spanish-English electronic translator, this is a bargain at $20. If I could give it more than 5 STARS, I'd do it.Show lessBoboMojo
Great App; update causes crash!!!
This app has been a great lifeline for me living in Argentina for the past year. However, I installed the most recent update, and now the app crashes immediately upon opening. Please fix this soon!
Recommendations: It would be great if the app would remember a verb when I switch from dictionary to conjugation, instead of making me search for the word all over again. Also, ability to find phrases and some slang would be excellent.
Thanks for the great app.Show lessbiabea
Awesome Update
I second the motion. With this latest update the program is awesome. I like the new forward/back buttons, the history. The dictionary button seems to always work now. It seems snappier in general.
I've paid $50 or more for electronic English - Spanish dictionaries. This has them beat and it's always with me. Maybe for the casual user $20 is high but for someone who is serious about wanting to learn Spanish, this is a good value.Show lessATCS2152
I love this app.
I have been using Ultralingua since my Palm days, and have been very happy with it. I would like to see a capacity to write in definitions to existing words, that apply to a particular region or country, that I encounter on the job, or during travel. Being a Chef, I work with people from many different countries, many of whom use different words for the same item. It would be nice to be able to add to the list on my particular phone.
Otherwise, very happy. I use this app quite often.Show lessArcody
