Leave a Review Ultralingua Spanish
Well worth it
I recently moved to Spain, and this has been a life saver. I use it nearly everyday. It's super convenient to have it on my phone...much better and more discreet than carrying a book around with me everywhere I go. It has a much greater depth than any of the other comparably-priced translator devices I've used. It's a great resource for anyone looking to actually learn the language. The conjugation info has been especially helpful. It's certainly well worth the price for anyone taking a Spanish class or spending any significant amount of time abroad. The only reason I give it 4 out of 5 is because it does not provide pronunciations (which would be extremely helpful). Thanks for a great product!Show lessZanniGirl
LOVE IT!
This app is absolutely beautiful. Everything about it is awesome. I love this app especially because I have an iPod touch, so no having to use internet is just amazing. The conjugations, dictionary, translator are all great. The only thing I wish is for it to translate full sentences instead of just words, but it is still well worth $20.
This is a MUST have for all Spanish students, especially if you are having troubles remembering conjugations and such.
Thank you Ultralinguo(:Show lessWorm5
This is a really good program
I understand the pricing problem. Thirty dollars is probably too expensive, but 20 dollars for this program is really worth it. I am fairly fluent. I have many Spanish patients that don't speak English. I have been to South America many times. I love Spanish Gospel music. The interface is excellent. You can start with a word and translate from English to Spanish or from Spanish to English. You can also highlight any word in the definition of a word and go to that word. Going back (or forward) to an original word is done easily by pressing the appropriate arrow. Many uses of the word and various idioms are also given. A history of your searches can also be entered easily. The text is very legible. The congugation of a verb is easily done, and in many tenses. The numbers translation is an extra bonus. The only thing that would make it better would be a whole section on grammer. But this is a dictionary, not a grammer exposition. Of all the dictionaries that I have examined for the Iphone (and I have downloaded many), I have found this one the best. This dictionary I will use a lot. Well worth the price.

Well done
This program is beautiful! I have multiple Spanish-English dictionaries, but none compare to this!
The new update fixed a lot of little annoyances. The new history and back buttons options is very sweet.
If you really want to learn Spanish: buy this software and download all the coffee-break Spanish podcasts. Listen to the podcasts all the time. In the car at home at work. Look up and learn words with this software program. You will be pleasantly suprised!Show lessCorey C.
So Far So Good!
I've had this application for about a month now. I've been studying Spanish for several years and have taken Spanish immersion classes in Spanish speaking countries for the last two years. I had been carrying around a small travel dictionary that often came up short on words and definitions. So far, the Ultralingua dictionary has always found a definition for the word I have been looking up. In fact, I'm impressed with all the slang and idiomatic expressions that show up during a search. The verb conjugation is great, it eliminates the need to carry around my huge book of 500 verbs. I haven't tried the new update yet, but haven't been disappointed with the program in its current configuration.Show lessjcostarella
So worth it
I'm an honors Spanish 4 and AP spanish 5 student at high school planning to continue until I'm fluent enough to become a translator. This applacation amazes me. It goes very in depth and has just about every word I can think of. What it doesn't have it'll also let you search for online. This is so much more convienient than an actual textbook dictionary and far more useful. This gives you every verb tense for each individual verb. Worth more than $20 in my opinion. So 5 stars for the great price. Anything else like this is way more expensive.Show lessDrakywins
Rate the product not the price! Its well worth it.
This is an excellent product which was likely the result of a significant number of dollars and man hours. If you want to Google a translation every time you need it, go for it. Don't criticize this product based on cost. The $20 that this application now costs is less that a standard dictionary and saves a great amount of time, especially IF YOU DON'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS AT THE TIME. After looking at Ultralingua's website, I'm excited to see what they come up with for the iPhone next.Show lessRamosLV
Great to have, need improvements
Improvements needed: 1. the lack of back button >> the most elementary brousing expectation; my hand keeps looking for it but it's not there. 2. the lack of compassion >> for example, 'coger con lazo' translates to 'noose' and that's it. Please, expand! This certainly is more concise but fails to do its original job, which is to convey meaning clear and easy. There are way too many phrases to mention like this. 3. the lack of examples >> 'formulas' are given very extensively yet without examples of application. Improvement #2 and 3 is more to your team of scholars than engineers. Please, be more compassionate. Still it's a great job since you are the only one so far in the game and I've been waiting for a resident dictionary for iphone so badly. Thank you.Show lesslacquanic
Not Understood
Yes, it is a little overpriced, but people do not understand the value of this app. The big knock is that there are free web based translators. First, I don't care how fast your connection is, it won't be as fast as an app with a dictionary stored on your phone. Second, Babelfish or Google Translator definitions are much less comprehensive then this app. Third, you can enter a conjugated verb and reliably find the root verb on the app -- that is basically impossible on free web based translators. Fourth, it provides all the conjugations for a root verb. There is more, but you get the point.....Show lessAndyH20
great app so far!
I have only used this app during the last week and it is doing everything that I want it to so far. It is missing a few words and it would be nice if it had the power of a large dictionary, but is easily as good as the pocket translation dictionaries (even better with the conjugations - what is the subjunctive for caber?) and more convenient. I have no problems with the cost (why are people prepared to pay $10 for a game without complaining, and not double that for something useful?) - good job!Show lesssave the Amazon
