### 4/5 — There's better!

*2012-07-31*

This app is good. But they have made a better app from the same company. It has both dictionary and phrase book.

### 2/5 — Limited

*2012-07-15*

It does translate many words, and conveniently doesn't require a network connection to do so.

However, on a recent trip to Argentina, it couldn't find the word I was looking for in about one in ten searches. Also, it can't handle phrases or idioms, even the most common ones.

This would be a good value if it was free or even 99 cents. At $4 it is a poor value.

### 2/5 — Doesn't rotate

*2012-03-28*

It works great. It recognizes words and helps me learn infinitives, but the app doesn't rotate. It only works up and down ( vertical ) not  side by side. With the way the iPad cases designed, this app is extremely uncomfortable.m

### 4/5 — English-Spanish Dictionary

*2012-03-03*

Me gusta mucho! Trabaja como dice.

### 3/5 — Works well but limited

*2012-01-21*

I love that it lets you choose the part of speech of the word you are looking up so you dont have to sift through too much in the definition. I also love how fast it is and straightforward the definitions are. 

But I really wish it had example sentences like some of the other apps do. The history function is ok , but a favorites would be better.

### 1/5 — Not impressive

*2011-12-28*

I'm really  disappointed with this app.. The first 3 words I wrote, it did not find translation . I'm mad and I want my money back it is not worth it!!.
Please don't lie to the people !!!. I really need a translator !!!

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!

*2011-12-05, version 2.0.1*

It works perfectly and is super helpful.no glitches to report.also I'm curious why people are saying there are no days of the week.....

### 5/5 — The best of its kind

*2011-10-08*

Always in my main screen in my ipod, very useful and practical, hope you continue improving this app guys you've done a very good job.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

*2011-10-07*

Got this when I arrived in Valencia and realised nobody spoke English. Incredibly useful!

### 2/5 — no screen shift

*2011-09-01*

This app was apparently redesigned for the iPad, but it does not even have the ability to switch orientation from portait view, making it a pain for those who might want to set it up with the iPad cover, or use it while switching back and forth between reading in landscape view. I may not learn how useful it is in terms of words because this bais feature gap is so annoying.
