Bellissima grafica , curata . Soddisfatta Consiglio il dizionario Collins e non ultralingua ### 2/5 — Please increase content *2013-11-07* 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. ### 5/5 — New interface is superb *2013-06-13* The quality you expect from a Collins dictionary, wrapped up in a fast, easy-to-use package. ### 1/5 — Not Collins *2013-06-06* Nothing like the content of a Collins printed dictionary. ### 4/5 — Excellent dictionnaire MAIS.... *2012-11-28* À quand la maj pour iPhone 5??? ### 4/5 — Неплохой, но несколько своеобразный словарь. *2012-04-04* Хороший словарь, но с полным отсутствием примеров. Сначала это шокирует. Словарные статьи достаточно обширные и значения слов описываются очень внятно. С этого угла -- это один из лучших словарей. Определения внятные, емкие, ничего лишнего. Жаль, издание не самое последнее (6 издание, 2006) и словарных статей меньше, чем в последнем издании (сравнивал со словарем Коллинз из пакета словарей Лингво). Но это чисто виртуальное сожаление. При пользовании вы этого никогда не заметите. Того что есть, вам хватит за глаза. За 10 долларов (sale)-- выгодное приобретение. За обычную цену покупать не советую -- купите лучше последнее издание в Lingvo. ### 1/5 — Worst dictionary I have ever used. *2011-01-20* 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. ### 4/5 — British English *2010-05-29* At last a British English dictionary (US in brackets), despite the software company's location. Now, where's the Mac version for OSX Dictionary? ### 1/5 — Poor *2010-01-31* Lost track of the number of times it's failed to come up with words eg.
