Please increase content

Dear Collins
Thanks for upgrading the app all the time but work on the content too. The dictionaries have so many words missing.
Please upgrade the product not just the packaging. I only really care about using it for translation.

New interface is superb

The quality you expect from a Collins dictionary, wrapped up in a fast, easy-to-use package.

Not Collins

Nothing like the content of a Collins printed dictionary.

Worst dictionary I have ever used.

Just awful. Way to confusing to use. It also has bad definitions. Every time I would look at a definition, there would be a more complicated word in the definition than the original word I was looking up. And believe me when I say I'm not an idiot. Its like the dictionary kept trying to sound intelligent and wound up being totally confusing. Total waste of money.

British English

At last a British English dictionary (US in brackets), despite the software company's location. Now, where's the Mac version for OSX Dictionary?

Poor

Lost track of the number of times it's failed to come up with words eg. Louche

Great and ..

Would love to see the following additions:

1) explination of how to pronounce the words.
2) sample mp3 to click and hear the word spoken.
3) more usage examples for a word.
4) function to solve anagrams


great

Two times I couldn't find the word ive been looking for, but its great i use it all the time. I'm sure it could be priced lower though.

Wonderful

Fast, does have many example sentences, and definitions based on context - very useful and unique to Collins. Other dictionaries fall short here. Maybe an enhanced search feature in future updates? Very satisfied.

A little disappointment..

Not good.. Add example sentences..
