Terrible font
Great dictionary made extremely difficult to read by the awful font. I'll find a different app which is easy to read.
Not a dictionary
When you set English to Italian and type an English verb - it gives you you everything about the English verb - really??
Satisfying way to learn
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!

Useful tool
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.
Nouns and verbs
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.

This App does not work
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.’

A useful dictionary for those looking to expand their vocabulary
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.

Not much of a dictionary
This dictionary doesn’t cover the language well. I’m reading Il Gattopardo and having much better luck looking up words in the free WordReference dictionary than in the Collins. The Collins doesn’t even have all the words in the average article in Corriera della Sera. What’s it actually good for?

Such a great app, but dark mode is awful
How do I turn dark mode off?
Excellent
Descriptions with excellent examples
Excellent source for Italian
The app takes the place of several other apps and is easy to use. Worth the money!
Excellent
I use it for Italian. Very good examples of usage for every word. Pity it doesn’t clarify that lui and lei are in common usage but that egli and ella are strictly the correct third personal pronouns to use with verbs in a literary context.
Worth it.
Worth the money.
Extremely intuitive layout
So easy to use. Looking up a word never feels like a faff
