  • What a disappointment

    After all this time, and after all the Ultralinga apps have been updated to iPad and iPhone 4.0 we final get an update to the app and still it doesn't support either.

    Come on Collins, you are supposed to be the standard, I purchased the most expensive iPhone app ever and you can't keep the app current. Shame on you!

  • Needs more updates

    Not compatible with 4.0, no pronunciation, too expensive.
  • Pretty Darn Good

    But please please please make a favorites or flashcard function for those of us trying to actually learn the language. Would be so easy to do and would be so helpful.

    Gracias!
  • Incredibly buggy

    Incredibly buggy. It regularly loses functionality. You may click to switch from an english search to a spanish search but nothing appears to happen. The system may have changed what is being searched but the display doesn't update. I have also had the conjugation section lock on one verb for the past tense. I look up any verb and it goes to present tense fine but when I select past tense it reverts to a verb from an hour ago. Would not stop until I exited and re-entered the program. I use it a lot but I have to quit and reopen several times a day due to bugs.

    The bottom line: Way to pricy for how poorly it functions.

  • Look elsewhere

    If you're looking for a travel translator, this is not the program you're looking for. The verb conjugator has some utility, but certainly doesn't justify the purchase price.
  • previous reviewer mistaken

    This dictionary is excellent. Not only is casa there (with 9 entries defining it) but so are many other words. I am having a problem with the conjugation function, but that may just be my phone. The previous reviewer who said that even basic words could not be found was not using the dictionary very well.

  • Why is it called "Pro?"

    Unfortunately, this dictionary really cannot be called "Pro." One would think that "Pro" means "for the non-novice" or "for those seeking additional definitions for less common words." This dictionary, however, is geared toward beginning students and should market itself as such. For example, upon download, I immediately attempted to find some words I had recently come across -- to no avail. "Mordiente" -- no entry found. "Verdín" -- no entry found. While these are not words that basic students need to know, a "Pro" dictionary should be exactly that -- more advanced, with a wider range of vocabulary and an eye toward words a student of Spanish will encounter as his or her studies progress.

  • no audio pronunciation ????

    I paid almost $25 and no audio pronunciation, that is very bad, So what this app. has different from the other that make it too expensive??ahhh is just because is from Ultralingua :-(
  • Very nice

    Looks very good so far. The ability to search for a conjugated verb and find the matching infinitive is great (especially for irregular verbs). If it automatically took you to the correct tense page when you tapped on the entry, it would be even better!
  • Very happy with this product

    Tried Spanish Anywhere first, but quickly ran into words that weren't included in that dictionary. This one is comprehensive - I haven't stumped it yet. I like the history feature to review words you've previously looked up, but a bookmark feature would be better as it gives the user more control. An integrated flashcard feature for memorizing the words you've looked up would be hugely useful and would really set this apart from paper dictionaries.
