### 1/5 — Review

*2026-04-23*

Sometimes I like this but half the time it does not have the word I want and I have to look it up on the Internet. Why does it not default to do a search as soon as you type a word in ? I have no idea how to return it back to search and am so frustrated. And I paid for this be app. The last app I bought was discontinued with the new phone and was fantastic !

### 5/5 — Best Multi language Dictionary I came across and use o

*2026-04-16*

It allows the use of both languages in the initial prompt without having to choose one beforehand. It can conjugate Spanish verbs and even identify the infinitive form from a conjugated one (for example, quepo → caber → to fit (into)), which makes searches much easier. It also provides different usages with examples, helping you find the correct Spanish equivalent — for instance, “it fits me” → me queda bien, versus “it will fit in the box” → cabe en la caja. And remarkably, it has maintained its Apple access for over 10 years, whereas I’ve had to repurchase other dictionaries through their updates.

### 5/5 — A Comprehensive Spanish Verb Reference Source

*2026-04-16*

By far the best source for Spanish verbs! It not only contains the various, and often numerous uses of a verb, but unlike most other sources, it will pull up this information regardless of the verb tense searched. It also gives you a complete breakdown of the verb in the numerous tenses. Worth every penny I paid and more!

### 3/5 — Speak feature doesn’t work

*2025-11-29*

The speak feature is broken (again) and the app hasn’t been updated in at least a year. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2025-11-16, version 2.11.1*

Poor difficult to use

### 3/5 — Mediocre

*2025-05-10, version 2.11.1*

Muchas palabras de uso cotidiano no aparecen. Más vale preguntar directamente al motor de búsqueda.

### 2/5 — In my view it’s too expensive

*2025-02-14*

This app is too expensive for what it has to offer. At that price, I would expect to have included the pronunciation of each word, but it is not there. I also find the UI a bit awkward to use. To get correct search results, it is necessary to reset the search bar each time I want to search for something. I just can’t type a new word and press return. The search is also a bit limited; for example, if I try to search for sin embargo, it returns nothing. Yes, it has nice conjugation of each verb, but at £17, I would expect more.

### 2/5 — Seems to be missing audio pronunciation function

*2025-01-30*

Purchased the latest app to replace obsolete version which I’ve happily used for years. The latest iteration doesn’t seem to be an improvement, it has no audio pronunciation function (unless I’m missing how to turn it on) and seems to have far less examples of word usage than before.

### 1/5 — Un timo

*2024-12-19, version 2.11.1*

Poco vocabulario, con pocos ejemplos y sin audio. Nada que ver con el anterior Collins, que dejó de funcionar.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2024-11-02*

The AZ Collins Spanish app which I used to use is far superior to this app in many ways. Unfortunately it is no longer available.
