Just not enough words
This is a reliable dictionary and has IPA pronunciations of every word. It is unfortunately less (maybe much less) comprehensive than the other Collins bilingual dictionaries (German and Spanish anyway).
Not very good selection of words.
There are many words that the default apple Portuguese-Portuguese dictionary gets but this paid product doesn’t. Like “viúva”
lacks advertised functionality
there is currently no icloud sync. both the bookshelf and individual collins dictionaries by the same developer advertise syncing favorites and transferring them to other devices but this function is broken which, for an app with this price tag, is unacceptable. the developer responded to an email inquiry letting me know that they are aware and have no timeline as to when a fix can be expected. i have many favorites in an individual dictionary app and after buying another one of their expensive dictionaries i am unable to use them both in the bookshelf app because there is no way of transferring all the favorites. the favorites also don’t sync between the iphone and ipad versions of the dictionary or bookshelf apps. the developer either needs to provide a fix, which honestly is not that serious of a coding job, or update the store description before people spend $18 for each of their dictionaries expecting the advertised features.

Speech doesn’t work
App crashes when trying to use the speak function. Waste of $20
Disappointing
I had high hopes for this dictionary unfortunately it was a bit of a let down. What kind of a dictionary in this day and age doesn’t offer a feature to hear the word’s pronounced? The only way to get this feature is by highlighting the word then scroll to find “speak” option. Very clunky. They should learn from Pleco dictionary app!
