### 4/5 — Great app!

*2022-10-15*

This Polish dictionary app is great and it’s very easy to use! The only thing I wish it would do is have a button that would say the word to make sure I’m pronouncing it correctly.

### 4/5 — Good but not sufficient

*2021-01-18*

Very good tool, easy to use, i wish it could have more complete set

### 4/5 — Mostly good

*2020-07-20, version 10.0.11*

This is a good dictionary for the price. But I find it annoying that it always defaults to English>Polish, when I consistently use it in the other direction. Perhaps I’m missing a trick, but it’s not obvious how I could make Polish>English the default.

### 3/5 — Good, however

*2019-12-02*

Good offline dictionary with a big bunch of words. I would like to have more examples of usage connection with prepositions. One thing is missing: live pronunciation and examples of sentences.

### 3/5 — Preferred the previous version

*2019-10-07, version 10.0.11*

I think the Collins dictionary is the best for Polish because it has a usefully broad vocabulary.  Some of the links which used to exist no longer work e.g. between verb and perfective.  It would also be useful to have a pronunciation guide, such as in the Spanish-English dictionary. Even if you know the Polish pronunciation rules, there are some words which seem impossible to pronounce and I’m sure that’s true for Poles learning English too.

### 4/5 — I’m English living in Poland

*2019-06-09, version 10.0.11*

I find this app more reliable than online translations. Great that it’s available offline too.

### 4/5 — Quite good but...

*2019-05-08, version 10.0.11*

what it lacks is the ability of adding your own words and expanding the dictionary database. Having said that, not many dictionaries allow that.

All in all, it's quite a useful little app. Also, the ‘review’ message would not go away and it practically forces you to do it, which is rather annoying. 

Would also be grateful for the database expansion..

### 4/5 — Dobry słownik

*2019-03-04, version 10.0.11*

Szkoda ze nie uaktualniony do iPhone X

### 2/5 — Disappointing versus other Collins dictionaries

*2019-02-05, version 10.0.11*

I sought a premium offline dictionary for Polish-English and, after enjoying the Collins offering in French, Italian & German, I hoped this one might follow the same template. Sadly not. 

My main complaint is that it doesn’t have the same conjugation feature that makes the others so useful. 

Secondly, the other dictionaries allow scrolling through entries as you might leaf the pages of a dictionary. It is annoying that this app doesn’t give you the same freedom. 

Additionally, whilst I like the idea of regular prompts designed to explore the language, the “word of the day” is a half-baked effort. I find it disappointing to get prompted on words that are identical to the English translation. 

The menu panel gives the impression of many features but I think the developers should be satisfied when they have done the basics right - the games should go elsewhere (for free). The dictionary’s asking price is a lot of money to spend on an app and this one is definitely too much.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2018-10-03, version 10.0.11*

Perfect

### 5/5 — Brilliant application

*2018-09-29, version 10.0.11*

Highly recommended

### 5/5 — First-Rate! Pierwszorzędny!

*2018-09-18*

The dictionary itself is extensive. 

The interface usability of the app has improved to match the first-rate content.

Added lots of functionality : games and flashcards that actually do help the learning process.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2018-08-14, version 10.0.11*

I use this app for many years, it's been tested booth in UK and Poland - always helped me to find a right word or fraze when needed.
Not cheap but surly worth its money.

### 5/5 — Great

*2018-08-13, version 10.0.11*

Wonderful app!

### 1/5 — Lacks my key requirement for a smartphone dictionary

*2019-08-19, version 10.0.11*

The app requires an internet connection whenever you want to look up a word. REALLY annoying if you're on a plane, lacking a good signal or trying to conserve roaming data. All other Collins dictionaries I have store the data offline: why not this one? Very poor.

### 1/5 — good dictionary

*2019-05-20, version 10.0.11*

good dictionary but clunky design and really annoying requests for reviews, so here it is

### 1/5 — It takes 4 seconds to open it.

*2018-11-22*

Google translator opens in less than a second. It’s annoying. I used to use this app a lot but now switch Google permanently.

### 1/5 — John

*2018-11-17, version 10.0.11*

Do not buy it
It doesn’t work properly

### 1/5 — Continually Nags for a Review

*2018-08-16, version 10.0.11*

So have one star.

### 1/5 — Bad support

*2018-08-12*

This was good, but now has strange and irritating behaviors. I wrote a bug report (clearly and politely!) to the support address and their staff wrote a defensive reply about how they “cannot consider each user's comments and suggestions.”

Obviously you don’t do whatever a user tells you to do, but if you’re not a loser and a slacker, you will at least try to determine if there is a bug or not before insulting the customer.

The defect in question is it triggers “word of the day” setup behaviors every time the app is unminimized, and it makes it a pain to look up multiple words (a common scenario!) and I happen to know as an iOS developer that it’s easy and simple to fix. It’s easy and simple to know if the app is being launched via notification or not.

Easy and simple, unless you’re a slacker whose priority is to save face and avoid work.

I have also ran into multiple mistranslations and one (a translation for “seizure” in a medical context) actually caused some trouble in an emergency situation. This is the fault of the dictionary authors at Collins and not the ISV, but it’s a problem with the product either way.

### 1/5 — lepiej nie kupowac

*2018-07-18, version 10.0.11*

NIE POLECAM!!!otwiera sie godzine

### 1/5 — Underwhelming

*2018-07-05*

Nothing special. Missing a LOT of key features like audio, categories, customization. Interface is quite cumbersome and annoying. I expected much better for $15.

### 1/5 — Great but..

*2018-06-07, version 10.0.3*

I would indeed give 5 stars but I cannot stand persistent, constant begging for '5 star rating'. 
That should be my own decision.

### 1/5 — Ok

*2018-03-08, version 10.0.3*

Nice app, but the damn thing is always nagging me to rate it. Not just once a week, but EVERY TIME I open it. Ok.
