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.

Latin
It works pretty well. Well, it annoys me by asking me to invite my non-interested or non-Latin-speaking friends to buy-in to their product.
Where are the conjugations?
Unlike my Collins Spanish, French and German dictionary apps, and rival Latin apps such as Scriba, this app does not appear to offer the conjugations of verbs. This is a critical omission. Detail behind individual words and their usage is also sparse, again in comparison with other Collins dictionaries. £14.99 for this??

Good app
Good app overall but could be better with improvements in UI/UX. For example, the back button on the word page sometimes is interpreted as a swipe motion so it changes page instead of going back to home.
Great resource!
Absolutely worth the price x2 for latin students and teachers alike!

Learn with fun
Good dictionary which includes common phrases and idioms in the definition; well presented; fun play with Hangman and other games. Also has Word of the Day. I don’t know when I will get to use “dolium” (hogshead) but I am happy I now know it.
Poor reference book
I have several Collins dictionaries. The modern language editions (Italian, French, German) are much better, though the price is the same. They are better because they offer very sophisticated help in the form of full paradigms. The Latin dictionary by contrast is pretty basic. Collins should do better

Expensive for no reason
Good app. Love the word of the day feature. Confused as to why it’s so expensive when there are free Latin dictionaries that factor in declensions/conjugations instead of just the first principle part.
Latin dictionary
Excellent resource to hav on hand.
Great App
Very useful...easy to use, with the bonus of word of the day....recent searches is helpful....all together great
Good, clean user interface
I have been very pleased with this dictionary. It seems pretty comprehensive. Of course one will eventually find something missing or something not working, but it's a whole lot better than many I have come across.
