This just seems like an ordinary Spanish app. Am disappointed. ### 3/5 — New words? *2020-11-24, version 10.0.11* I’ve been using the app recently (2020) and it’s excellent and of course it goes both ways. Even has somewhat obscure words such as recorder - which I play. However, despite the most recent update being 2018, it only has iPod and not yet even iPad or iPhone. Aren’t they adding commonly used newer words? Otherwise the dictionary is very good for its target audience of beginners. ### 4/5 — Preferred old version *2020-04-10, version 10.0.11* This is a useful dictionary for me. Sometimes it is not clear the best translation when there are a few. It also isn’t sometimes clear on LA vs Mainland Spain preferences. However I use daily and think best Spanish dictionary app ### 3/5 — Keep having to change preferences *2019-01-30, version 10.0.11* The dictionary is good but it’s really frustrating that it always defaults to English>Spanish option. If you look up a Spanish word and then return to your search you have to select the direction again as it flips back to English first. Really annoying and time wasting - which is a shame as the dictionary itself is useful. Please fix this bug!! ### 4/5 — Works well *2018-12-10, version 10.0.11* Easy to use and has most of the words I have needed to look up so far. ### 2/5 — Fault in the app *2018-10-21, version 10.0.11* I cannot remove a word of the day that repeatedly appears every day. The word is ‘whiskers’ and no matter what I try it will not clear ### 3/5 — Good *2018-10-19, version 10.0.11* Good selection of words and phrases ### 2/5 — Too many errors *2018-10-15, version 10.0.11* This used to be good. Then one day I opened the app and all my saved favourite words had disappeared. I resaved those I could remember but the exercise of using the favorites to revise vocabulary using Flashcards can now only be used occasionally- often, instead of giving the meaning of the word when you tap a word instead it randomly gives you any other word from the entire dictionary. This is complete rubbish. App designers please take note and rectify! ### 4/5 — Excellent resource *2018-09-27, version 10.0.11* I find this very useful and easy to use. Occasionally, I wish it were more comprehensive but it is still an excellent app. ### 3/5 — Shame the favourites doesn’t work *2018-09-22, version 10.0.11* I like the idea of favourites but there are only a few words there of those I saved, and if I try to retrieve one I seem to jump to past history and have to use the back button repeatedly to get back to a screen where I can do anything or get access to the menu ### 5/5 — Portable Spanish Dictionary *2018-08-02* A good portable dictionary ### 5/5 — Reliable *2017-11-14, version 10.0.3* I have tried numerous dictionaries and this is easily the best yet! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stop the nag window! *2026-08-10, version 10.0.11* This is a good app, albeit focused on Spain Spanish. More on South American Spanish would help. BUT, there is a never-ending nag window ‘demanding’ a 5 star review and that spoils the app. ### 1/5 — Where did the verb conjugations go? *2025-02-24, version 10.0.11* This update makes the dictionary significantly less useful and I do not like it at all. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-04-10, version 10.0.11* I had the previous version of this dictionary and it was wonderful. However, when I purchased a new Ipad, previously purchased Collins dictionary would not work. So I bought this app. It was a waste of money. This version is just plain horrible. There are only very basic translations and no example sentences. Do not purchase this app. ### 1/5 — Collins spanish dictionary *2023-01-15, version 10.0.11* Tenía el anterior diccionario de Collins: fantástico. Al cambiar de iphone no puedo volver a instalarlo y me he visto obligado a comprar este otro que es ¡verdaderamente malo! Al ser profesor de inglés lo uso cada día y la diferencia es abismal :( ### 1/5 — Very limited *2020-09-05, version 10.0.11* Dictionary very poor and lacking in definitions. Not what I expected from Collins at all ### 1/5 — REMOVE RATINGS/REVIEW PROMPT *2018-09-22, version 10.0.11* Please remove annoying review prompt. We've purchased app. Make this something we can turn off in settings. We should not be 'annoyed into' writing reviews! ### 1/5 — No audio *2018-07-02, version 10.0.3* Very expensive - no audio, limited words, clunky interface, endless demands for five stars. ### 1/5 — Not fit for purpose *2017-03-04, version 8.5.4* No verb conjugations, only masculine version of adjectives listed in Spanish. It keeps asking you to rate it 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Not worth the money without a big improvement *2016-10-21, version 8.2.2* This is not anywhere near as good as the Collins Robert French English dictionary. It feels "clunky" and has a limited vocabulary. ### 1/5 — Not easy to use *2014-10-24, version 3.01* The app allows only one word look up and it becomes difficult to look up the meanings of new words each time because it not allow the whole word to be typed in but tends to jump to predicted meaning or previous words. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2024-02-29, version 10.0.11* Yep it’s really great ### 5/5 — collins spanish dictionary *2023-08-10, version 10.0.11* complete! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2023-05-26, version 10.0.11* So glad I started using the App! Learnt so much even though my wife has a better streak than I do. If you want to learn another language it’s a no brainier! ### 5/5 — Fabuloso *2022-05-25, version 10.0.11* Muy util. ### 5/5 — Good dictionary *2021-02-22, version 10.0.11* Comprehensive, accurate dictionary. Easy & reliable to use. Useful list of recent words & possible to make lists of ‘favourite’ words for revision ### 5/5 — Very useful indeed *2020-07-26, version 10.0.11* Love the format and the various uses of words and phrases and idioms using the word are great. ### 5/5 — Best Spanish dictionary *2020-02-14, version 10.0.11* Great product. Covers American as well as European Spanish. ### 5/5 — A marvellous travel companion *2019-05-25, version 10.0.11* In Buenos Aires again and finding the dictionary indispensable as I have done on all my trips to Spanish-speaking countries. Wouldn’t be without it. ### 5/5 — Oswestry Golfer *2019-02-05, version 10.0.11* Very handy to have in your pocket ### 5/5 — Informative *2018-08-03, version 10.0.11* Easy to use, accurate for Castilian Spanish. Useful ‘every day’ examples. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
