Not really a dictionary - more a monosyllabic translator.
After using this App for under 5 minutes, I'm unlikely ever to use it again. Which is a shame. Especially after paying almost £15.
I've got multiple hard copy foreign language dictionaries by Collins, which are by far and away the best I've found in decades of speaking some of the languages. This electronic copy isn't like them at all.
If you put in a word, then all you get back is a word in Latin. No clues about plurals or how it declines - a key part of a Latin vocabulary book. You certainly don't get the sometimes pages of colloquialisms for one word that you get in the larger hard copies of Collins dictionary.
Don't touch this App. There are free or online versions which are better. Which makes me sad more than angry as a keen evangelist for Collins foreign language dictionaries for over 50 years.

Bonum est
I enjoy using this handy resource. I’m glad there’s an app for the Latin language.
Great dictionary
Particularly good flash card setup for retaining new vocabulary
Limited content, not for off-line
Very limited content, no context for lexemes at all. Also, does not work off-line. Who needs an on-line dictonary app (ie an app for a web page) these days?
Great application!
I truly enjoy the word of the day alert. It stimulates a brain that is very lazy. The dictionary is great but a phrase or two using the word word be most appreciated. Great word checker for definition, clarification of various usage. A fact checker that is reliable in the age of ignorance and deceit.
