### 5/5 — Just wow!!!

*2020-09-11, version 8.8.0*

This is the best overall dictionary available in the App Store, period!! Forget all free or cheap ones. This one is alone in its ligue and a gift if you’re considering it’s price. Get it and you will never look around for another dictionary. Really

### 5/5 — Best dictionary

*2020-09-03, version 8.8.0*

From student level to professional translator absolutely the best.

### 5/5 — Professional Interpreter

*2020-08-29, version 8.8.0*

As an interpreter, this is best tool I’ve had. I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Not acceptable

*2020-08-22, version 8.7.0*

I bought this app because in the description said that this app comes with audio, but it did not work in my ipad.

### 5/5 — Excellent learning tool!

*2020-04-07, version 8.7.0*

I have enjoyed using this program for years.  The ability to use it offline is a great asset.  Even pronunciation is available offline!  The many example sentences are very useful in the learning process and the inclusion of wisdom phrases makes learning delightful.  Having the function of storing word lists for flash card review has proven very useful.  I believe you will find this program and dictionaries will be one of your greatest assets in learning Spanish.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-01-31, version 8.6.0*

Love this app. Not only can you learn a single word but you also can get sentences. The best part is it says it Out loud so you can practice and know you are pronouncing words correctly

### 5/5 — Awesome Dictionary

*2020-01-15, version 8.6.0*

Wonderful dictionary at my fingertips! All in one dictionary and thesaurus! What more can you ask for!!! Great Job!!!

### 5/5 — An amazing dictionary.

*2019-12-24, version 8.6.0*

An amazing

### 5/5 — I like WordMagic Unabridged

*2019-12-15, version 8.6.0*

I am a Christian translator and I use this app everyday. Its translations are pretty accurate and phrases are a great help many times. I would encourage the team to create an app for translation memories that can be as good as this dictionary app. Thank you team!

### 5/5 — Upgraded from compact version

*2019-12-04*

I have found the compact version to be very good, so assume that this unabridged dictionary will be even better, presumably covering a wider range of vocabulary.

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2019-09-27*

En serio. Con este app, usado con búsquedas en Linguee y WordReference forums, pues, se puede traducir cualquier documento.  Pero primero es WordMagic. Es exhaustivo y tiene muchas variantes regionales. Es bien chido. Me gustaría si pueden añadir una wiki, para que la gente pueda post sus comentarios y sugerencias y aun mas variantes y mas frases, jerga, etc. Puede funcionar como una consideración de nuevas palabras y frases para el diccionario. Bueno. Pero de todas modas, este diccionario es el chignon.

### 5/5 — Best dictionary

*2019-09-08, version 8.6.0*

Accessible off line—- handy when traveling. 
Many synonyms and antonyms, sample phrases, verb conjugation, useful compound constructions. Love it!

### 5/5 — Retired

*2019-07-09, version 8.4.0*

A fantastic, user-friendly resource, not just for Spanish vocabulary and pronunciation (plus complete conjugations) but also for a huge number of useful every-day expressions in Spanish and English. Much more comprehensive than other Spanish-language apps I have tried. I love it!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Needs updating

*2024-10-12*

This app seems to be abandoned, none of the image links work and haven’t had an update for maybe years now.

### 1/5 — Needs more features

*2024-06-27*

The app is fairly functional.  Very slow at times.  However my biggest complaint is they are forcing you to use Dropbox to link your list… WHY? Only drop box.  There are other storage app that are cheaper than $120 a year.  Take into consideration the cost of THIS app and you are now committed to a long term cost of whatever Dropbox will cost in the future.  They need to open the list saving to other apps such as OneDrive (which I already pay for for my business) among others.

### 1/5 — No audio

*2022-07-04, version 8.8.0*

Need to fix audio

### 1/5 — Audio does not work, troubleshooting page returns cannot be found

*2021-06-21, version 8.8.0*

I just spent 25$ on this app, audio does not work. App tells me to refer to troubleshooting page which returns a cannot be found on the dev website. Terrible

### 1/5 — No sound

*2020-12-25, version 8.8.0*

Tried everything to get the sound to
Work...still no sound

### 1/5 — Very bad pronunciation, robotic.

*2019-01-10, version 8.3.0*

It is not worth the cost, far from it. It is a waste of money

### 2/5 — Gotta’ say...

*2018-06-25, version 7.13.0*

Gotta’ say...not to happy with this app...a lot of money for something that just isn’t user friendly...

### 2/5 — Conjugation table issues

*2015-03-15*

The new version seems to have a bug in the display of verb conjugations. It worked at first but now I can't get it to work at all.

### 3/5 — Needs work - quite disappointed

*2023-08-11*

Too hard to switch search language
Everything is a link > great but I’d like to copy text
Quotes change > great unless you’re trying to write one out because you can’t copy it. 
I’ve used much better, especially for the $

### 3/5 — No sound

*2023-02-09, version 8.8.0*

There is no sound associated with the pronunciation icon.

### 5/5 — The best Spanish-English dictionary

*2024-10-30*

I own a fabulous 5-inch thick Spanish-English Dictionary. I never use it anymore, but I use this all the time. It’s more comprehensive and more versatile. I use other tools for translation and learning, but this is indispensable. Also, I’ve had it for years and they’ve never made it obsolete by issuing a new version. They just keep updating it.

### 5/5 — Group Study

*2024-10-15*

Excellent app for not just student but everyone who travel a lot like business people, writers... I would recommend to anyone, any levels.

### 5/5 — Super-useful, better than Google Translate

*2023-01-17, version 8.8.0*

If you’re learning Spanish as I am, the demonstration uses, quotes, antonyms, synonyms, etc. are a wonderful resource for enlarging vocabulary. I do wish there were a dark mode, though.

### 5/5 — Must have

*2022-12-18, version 8.8.0*

Very useful and work perfectly offline.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-06-02, version 8.8.0*

The best of its type!!
Best dictionary ever!!!

### 5/5 — Incredibly

*2021-11-18, version 8.8.0*

Good. I have used this app for years, I highly recommend it

### 5/5 — Interpreters' Indispensable Tool

*2021-09-08, version 8.8.0*

This app is worth its price, especially with its updates! Cuando se me refirió a esta app, me fijé que funciona sin conexión inalámbrica. Como soy interprete, preciso de tener información al instante. Sus rasgos son muy útiles para el profesional que habla inglés y español. ¡Excelente!

### 5/5 — Great help

*2021-07-30, version 8.8.0*

This app lives on my MacBook Pro, my iPad and my iPhone, all of which I use to read and write in Español. I use it in class, at home...whenever I need another way to express myself, or when I find a verbal construction I have not seen before, as well as just a great bilingual dictionary.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2021-07-21*

Now that I’m living in Mexico, I use this app every day and find it very useful. Thanks for making it easier to learn Spanish. One suggestion to make your app even better, is to add an option in the ‘verb conjugations’ to see the English equivalent. Sometimes I forget what the PRETERITE PERFECT INDICATIVE equivalent is in English.

### 5/5 — Word Magic Unabridged

*2020-12-20, version 8.8.0*

I have waited for quite a while before writing a review. This is only the second review I have ever given on any App because this one deserves comment. I have waited because I have seen some good Apps abandoned by their developers after the initial launch, not the case with this one, it keeps getting better. The range of definitions is outstanding and the software very impressive, even allowing for phrasal searches such as "bite the bullet" and "a la larga." To top it off, the customer service is very responsive, customer engaging, and fast, even adding the few definitions not found in their dictionary. Buy this App, you will not be disappointed.

This is the second time that I have reviewed this Word Magic dictionary, and only the third time that I have reviewed any App. The dictionary was good from the beginning, but best of all it continues to get better. We all have purchased Apps that have been abandoned by the developers, that is why the first thing I do is check to see the latest version, a sure way to see if the developers care about their product and their customers. The Word Magic people care about both. They are very responsive and continue to add definitions. Not only are the definitions complete but the software works very well. I use the dictionary daily, for both business and pleasure. 

Do not hesitate to purchase this, be your native language English or Spanish. I just took advantage of the US$0.99 offer to purchase four gifts for friends and family.
