Good app. ### 4/5 — Very worthwhile *2016-02-22* I am using this app in conjunction with duo lingo and it helps me a lot with translation and examples. The two together work very well. The combination pack is excellent value for money. I am a very happy customer. ### 5/5 — Very useful for expanding vocabulary *2015-08-18, version 7.4.0* When I look up a word I can also see other words with similar spellings. I like to wander through Spanish words, their derivation, and their relations to other words. This is a most useful dictionary. ### 5/5 — Excelente Range of Vocab & Phrases *2015-05-28, version 7.3.0* Highly recommended! Definitely a one of my top five apps. There are very, very few words that I have not found here, it is very diverse and is full of useful phrases and idioms. I've tried many others and they can't compete...bravo!! ### 5/5 — Roberto *2015-04-05, version 7.2.0* Excellent. You can input words in either language. The app seems find it! I also find the verb conjugation useful. I think that option costs $1. ### 5/5 — Useful App *2015-04-03, version 7.2.0* The developer provides frequent updates which demonstrates its commitment to this program and its customers. The flash cards add value to this program. Recommended AAA+++ ### 5/5 — . *2015-02-07* Excellent, informative and easy to use ### 5/5 — Just right *2015-01-21, version 6.1.0* This was exactly what I needed. I'm tried of having everything conjoined to the net. Response is quick and precise. I also love the favorites list. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2015-01-05* Simply put, I'm at a language school in Costa Rica, and most of the other students either ask for the name of this one, or let me look everything up because it's better than what they have. Not perfect - still the odd missing word - but pretty much perfect for my needs. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2014-11-24, version 6.0.0* I use this app constantly. Works perfectly!! It's also very useful because it works offline. :) ### 5/5 — Very good. *2014-11-10, version 6.0.0* This is very good dictionary, the translation is full covered, the vocabulary are plentiful for beginners. Pronunciation are accurate. I give 4star for all versions, and 5 star for latest one. Hope have verb variation functions. ### 5/5 — Very useful! *2014-10-29, version 5.5.0* Quickly finds words and offers multiple potential translations. This is the dictionary to have and works offline! ### 5/5 — A very great application *2014-09-23, version 5.5.0* This application is packed with a lot of translated words and meanings. It's a life saver especially when you don't have Internet connection. I am learning Spanish and I refuse to pay for data, unfortunately most apps only works with Internet connection. It's one of my favorite apps. The upgrades just keep getting better. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2014-09-21* For a start it is free! Easily searches words. Seemed reliable when I used it in Spain, for example restaurant menus. Very reliable. Correct translation. Five stars. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible since update! *2015-03-14* Updated today and everything lost! Now you have to enter all the words and no easy interface. The app is very long winded now and would be an embarrassment to use to help with translating in a social situation. ### 1/5 — Not for iPod Touch! *2011-12-02* I downloaded this app for use on my previous generation iPod Touch running iOS 3.1.3 and it would not work at all. ### 1/5 — not working *2011-07-19* The panels are not changing from portrait to landscape together. One stays one way and the other the other way. ### 2/5 — Unfriendly UI *2017-12-01, version 7.11.0* Difficult to understand how to get started w use. I don’t need to struggle with an app while trying to learn Spanish. ### 2/5 — Okay *2011-06-11, version 1.3.0* I would like this free version much better if it didn't have a pop-up asking me to compare or upgrade EVERY time I use it. If I wanted the full version I would have downloaded it. We are overseas and this pop-up is inconvenient when trying to quickly translate a word. If not for this annoying feature, I might consider buying the full version. ### 3/5 — I used to love this app, but... *2020-01-30* This app used to work beautifully, seamlessly, and had dozens of options and a great help file. But now... — There is no help file (“Video Help Files” links to nothing and does nothing) — There is no way to change the voice from European Spanish to Latin American Spanish or American English to British English — There is no way to change from female to male voice. — The app also hangs up about every few words, forcing the user to close and reopen. ### 3/5 — Decent but buggy *2012-05-13* Good app for the most part, I like having conjugations and idiomatic phrases. However it's a pain to scroll through a list of conjugations to find what you are looking for. A table format in landscape would probably be better, if you could quickly select the tense but it does work as is. The search bar is also buggy and doesn't recognize my tap half the time, which is annoying. ### 3/5 — The phrases are limited *2011-08-27, version 2.0.1* I haven't looked extensively, but I'm convinced there is a more user friendly app out there. This isn't intuitive at all if you make mistakes. Though helpful with the most basic words, it has very limited phrases which are often the most important translations for me while I'm traveling. ### 4/5 — Practical and Efficient *2017-02-11, version 7.8.5* This Dictionary has many daily and practical uses, since you type in the word and it automatically detects if it is Spanish or English. Then it brings up the translation immediately. For a free version it is really a valuable help. However if you are looking for an exhaustive dictionary this will not cut it. (I am fluent in both languages so I just use this to either confirm or look up a new word, but not for regular use.) ### 4/5 — Brilliant *2016-04-19* Nice app / use it loads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Grows on you *2022-01-27* I wasn’t sure about this dictionary as it works in a different way to other dictionary apps I have used. Now I love it and appreciate the clever design and ease of use. ### 5/5 — Very good app *2019-12-25, version 8.6.0* Very helpful and easy to use On a par with Larousse ### 5/5 — Compact Word Magic *2019-02-25, version 8.3.0* It continually crashes. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-12-10* This seems to be a very good dictionary. It certainly serves my purpose as a beginner. Coverage of vocabulary seems to be pretty comprehensive and the design of the app is definitely well thought-out and user-friendly. I like the way you can call up verb conjugations from the headword. I use quite a few different dictionaries for different languages, and they are not all equally good. This is a good one. ### 5/5 — Handy when traveling without local phone *2018-08-25, version 7.14.0* I can use this handy Dictionary anywhere off-line without Wi-Fi or local phone. It is helpful that it references all expressions using the searched word. I use it multiple times a day when visiting my daughter in Santiago Chile and also used it studying Spanish. ### 5/5 — Excellent and thorough. *2017-03-27, version 7.9.2* I own a lot of dictionary apps in multiple languages, and this may be the best one on my iPhone. It has a wealth of helpful detail on every word I've looked up. ### 5/5 — Save by the bell *2016-11-28* Hey!!! I paid for this app and now I'm getting charged to download it ### 5/5 — Very thorough definitions *2016-10-11, version 7.8.2* This is definitely one of the premier Spanish dictionaries available at any price. It gives ALL the possible translations for a given word. Also provides common phrases using the word. I especially like being able to enter a word in either language and get the translation in the other language. A simple thing, but most other dictionaries want you to tell up front what language to translate. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2016-10-11, version 7.8.2* I use this constantly for my knowledge of Spanish words. I am teaching Spanish but have had 3 years over 60 years ago. Not being fluent this dictionary is invaluable! ### 5/5 — LOVE IT! --Highly recommended *2016-09-23, version 7.8.2* This is my "go to" dictionary for Spanish class. Just enter either the Spanish or English word, and up will come both the translation and some synonyms. I find it especially useful for deciding which synonym is most appropriate. I also greatly appreciate the opportunity to listen to the word. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
