Great app
I use it a lot. App has a clean, snappy interface, plenty of words, useful features (like typing in numbers to see how they're spelled), and offers context beyond simple definitions. Great resource, happy with the purchase. Keep it up!booseye
Annoying Habit
I purchased this app a number of years ago, and agree the dictionary is very good; HOWEVER, it has a most annoying quirk -- If cellular data is disabled for the app, and you are not connected to the internet, a popup appears every time the app is opened advising you that "Cellular Data is disabled .....". Ok, that isn't much of an issue in my home country, I will just enable it, but when I am in another country where I have to pay like $10 grand per byte of data ( slight exaggeration, but you get my point) I am not disposed to enable any app for cellular data, especially for an app that has no apparent need to get or send data. Fix that and I will upgrade the rating based on the quality of your app, not on the warts.Show lessflyindon
Great app, with one little issue
This is easily the best Spanish dictionary app. A lot of care was put into making the interface clean and intuitive.
The only issue is that it's clumsy to close definitions. You open a definition by tapping on the word, but to close you have to click on a little "arrows" button on the other side of the screen. The definitions also stay open forever, so after awhile a bunch of definitions are open. I'd expect them to be closed automatically at some point, like when you open the app.Show lessYesNoCancel

Collins Eng-Sp dictionary new version
They have ruined this app which was by far the best one on the market. This new version is a mess as they try to lump everything together. And it is slower to use. How do I get the original version back?foxatolla
New Version
I will say that the Collins dictionary is one of the best. I have always been impressed by the breadth of the dictionary including usage examples and idiomatic expressions. The conjugator is top-notch and the number translator is very handy.
I am completely unimpressed with the new version. In the old version the dictionary, conjugator, and number translator were in separate "mini apps". This kept the overall app neatly organized. The dictionary was under the dictionary icon, the conjugator was under the conjugator icon, etc. It was very easy to switch from one to the other by simply touching a word to get pop-up choices such as "cut, "paste", "dictionary", "conjugation", or by presseing the icons at the bottom of the screen. In the new version all three mini apps have been merged into one big app and what a mess it is!!
The first problem I noticed is the new version is slow. It takes time to load and the app is slow to respond when the buttons are touched.
The second problem I noticed is that every single entry is contained in one huge list. The same word can appear multiple times depending on whether it is a conjugation or a translation, and this makes the list seem very disorganized and almost unwielding.
Had I know what the new version was like I never would have updated. I want the old version back.Show lessTOPDowNMUSTANG
An even better app now
I have used this dictionary regularly, but this latest version is a terrific improvement on all iOS devices. The ability to go quickly to the conjugations makes a big difference. The new formatting makes it much more readable, and I like the ability to save favorites. Keep up the good work.Lzrdoc
Great app but crashes all the time
Please please fix whatever is bugging this app. I love the interface and would recommend it but the fact that it crashes when you really need it, makes using it a bit infuriating. Could you please fix these bugs and offer an update?Hangrybird
Great app!
This is a great app to have when you need to look up a word and you don't have Internet. Even when you do have Internet it's just better to use this app. The only problem that should be delt with is when you are looking up a bunch of words when you go back to search for a new word it keeps the previous word and doesn't erase everything and that gets annoying when looking up several words at a timeShow less12301237
