### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2024-10-10*

As a Medical/Court interpreter I absolutely love this app. I use it almost daily. That being said I feel like it is missing some features that would make the whole user experience more complete. I wish the app had the ability to add tags to word entries so I could share these words across different glossaries. This way I could have a word in my court glossary as well as my medical glossary if needed. Also It would be beneficial to have a notes section or definition tab. This way I could refer to it when trying to remember the when to use, why I use, country origin, and context for using a specific interpretation. This app is worth the money! Please add these features and make it perfect!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review!  For the notes, some people will add a "language" called Notes and store their notes there.  Hopefully something like this will work for you.  Regarding your tags idea, please visit https://www.fourwillows.com/interplex.html and then Contact Us to let us know what you are thinking.

### 2/5 — Interplex HD

*2012-06-12*

Great app idea for  those working in the language field, but unfortunately a very poor execution, considering its very high price. The software is not intuitive at all and lacks functionalities that would be very useful, like the possibility of making notes. Hopefully the updated version will be better.

### 5/5 — Glossary management

*2012-04-07, version 1.40*

this program is aimed at language professionals. As a practising simultaneous interpreter this tool is a godsend. It lets you find words so quickly. I highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Really useful for interpreters

*2011-11-03, version 1.15*

I find this app really useful in my work as a public service interpreter. It's neat, it's fast and it enables me to access all my glossaries and update them on the go. I used to lug a portable around, but it just wasn't practical... booting up a PC takes time, whereas on the iPad I can just flick the cover and look at vocabulary or update it while I'm waiting. I use both thematically arranged glossaries for quick reviews of a subject area and the Multi Glossary Search facility, which allows you to search all your glossaries at once. 

The PC version of Interplex was a huge advance on using Excel for glossary work, but the iPad version takes Interplex to a new level - it's fast, convenient and allows you to make good use of waiting time during your interpreting jobs.
