### 4/5 — I’m confused

*2020-02-13*

It’s a pretty good app but I’m trying to learn Portuguese and when I go to the learning section it just says everything in English. Is the app supposed to be geared toward people who want to learn English?

### 5/5 — Dicionário

*2018-09-08*

Excelente app. Enquanto traduz, cita exemplos de aplicações às palavras.

### 5/5 — Ileide Sampaio

*2018-08-29*

Great

### 5/5 — Ok!!!

*2018-07-30*

Very good

### 5/5 — Ótimo dicionário

*2018-06-29*

Dá p usar off-line

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — stuck in EN->PT

*2026-08-04*

cannot switch to PT->EN or PT<>PT

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-10-02, version 1.1*

Nothing on this works. Can’t translate in any direction, dictionary doesn’t work, listening practice is only in english. Scam isn’t far off being an excellent description of this rubbish.

### 1/5 — Poorly designed.

*2024-06-09*

Poorly designed - difficult site to navigate. Reverts to English-Portuguese dictionary on occasion. Need to put in accents for it to find words

### 1/5 — Great features. Could be way better.

*2023-09-26*

Pronunciation of the Portuguese flashcards would be amazing. The main reason for the low rating is that I can’t switch to Portuguese to English or anything else. I can only use English to Portuguese

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2023-01-10*

Not able to switch from EN -> PT to PT -> EN.

### 1/5 — Shows ads after each search, no landscape mode

*2019-08-26, version 1.0*

How come a dictionary doesn’t support landscape mode? You really expect me to rotate my device just for you all the time?

Full screen ads with sound make it impossible to use even for trial

### 1/5 — Pro Version With Ads

*2018-06-04*

I bought the Pro Version but the are still there. 
Awful. 
Waste of time and money

### 2/5 — Not a good dictionary

*2022-07-24*

I couldn’t switch to other dictionaries. I was stuck with the Eng->Por one. Also, the definitions are crowded and poorly organized. Looking up a word is hard because the predictive text function in the search bar barely works.
I’m going to find a better alternative with your competitors. Might even pay for a decent product. This ain’t it.

### 3/5 — Way too much “legitimate interest”

*2025-09-16, version 1.1*

Feels like you gain a dictionary but lose your privacy. Had to turn off dozens of sliders for all the vendors they try to sell your data to. Haven’t tried the actual app much yet, seems all right. I know developers need to make money but those cookies are quite iffy.

### 4/5 — Need improvement

*2020-11-10*

The graphical interface does not fit properly on the iPhone Xs.
The APP is no longer working on iOS 14.2. Pls fix the bug.
