REVIEWS:
"The most useful language app for the iPhone - I've been using a number of iPhone apps to help me learn Italian. The dictionary is quite large. The at-a-glance conjugation tables are fantastic. And when I was learning numbers, the quick number pad was a brilliant help." -User review

"Buy it, it's the best - You get what you pay for in the AppStore. I tried all the other Italian translations tools as I'm learning Italian and living in an Italian speaking country. Prior to getting this tool I was frustrated to tears by the poor quality of the other tools." -User review

"This is an outstanding app, it has a deep database and you will leave your dictionary, phrase book and verb conjugation book at home when going to class or traveling (no need for an Internet connection either). Accurate translations, many idiomatic expressions given along with definitions."

### 1/5 — Not good enough to charge money

*2025-10-29*

Apps like google translate give more accurate definitions and translations

### 1/5 — Terrible font

*2025-09-26*

Great dictionary made extremely difficult to read by the awful font. I'll find a different app which is easy to read.

### 1/5 — Not a dictionary

*2025-06-06*

When you set English to Italian and type an English verb - it gives you you everything about the English verb - really??

### 5/5 — Satisfying way to learn

*2025-01-17*

The long lists of phrases phrases included under common words help a lot to understand and remember them in context. It’s great to be able to listen to them too. You can follow your curiosity by tapping on anything unfamiliar to look it up, then return to what you were looking at before. Conjugations are a separate set of pages. Works well, exactly what I was hoping for. It’s quite fun actually!

### 3/5 — Suggerimenti

*2024-09-02, version 2.11.1*

Tantissimi suggerimenti da inviare

### 5/5 — Useful tool

*2024-08-15*

I study several languages, and this dictionary has features that I have found helpful in my favorite dictionary apps. It provides verb conjugations and an ample number of sample sentences.

### 4/5 — Nouns and verbs

*2024-06-29*

I find that there is not enough of a marked difference between the nouns and the verbs under each word heading. For example Sleep which can be a noun or a verb, you have to scroll carefully through all nouns to eventually get to the verb which you can easily miss as it’s the same font as the rest. A slightly different bullet point is the only difference. The separation between the 2 should be much more clearly highlighted so that you could jump straight there.

### 1/5 — This App does not work

*2024-02-14*

The App was clumsy when moving between words and verbs. Many verb congregations are missing, and on occasions my whole list of saved words was lost. I had this App for a week but it just doesn’t work as advertised so I have now deleted it and find the free dictionaries much better. I asked the developer for a refund but was just told that, ‘unfortunately, Apple don’t allow developers to issue refunds.’

### 5/5 — A useful dictionary for those looking to expand their vocabulary

*2024-01-14*

Verb conjugation tables are useful (especially for the irregular ones). You can star/favourite words. App is easy to use.
A previous review said you can’t hear the words but if you hold down on one there’s an option to hear the word/phrase spoken.

I’ve got many Collins books for the Italian language and this is a good digital version of their physical dictionaries.

### 5/5 — Does all I need

*2023-12-13*

One of the rare applications which I want to review and praise. It does all I want from the dictionary 
* No subscription necessary - one-time purchase model
* Huge database of words
* Maps grammatical forms back - plural to singular, verbs to infinitive form, allowing one to search for the word as written, which is priceless for irregular verbs
* Works offline 
* Provides conjugations for verbs
