### 3/5 — Italian

*2023-05-05, version 19.2*

Very useful however the lexicon often will jump to a word I DIDN’T select making the process somewhat longer; I have to search for word of the day whereas other apps send them to me - and I can’t find a means of contacting the company to remove the ads which seem sometimes to be incessant!

### 4/5 — Decent source, but wrong information in the numbers section

*2023-04-04*

While looking at the numbers section, I saw that 20 was quattordichi and 100 was venti. This information is absolutely wrong; 20 is venti, while 100 is cento. Please fix this unfortunate error in the numbers section!

### 4/5 — Useful

*2022-08-22, version 19.2*

Good 
I pick it up from time to time and it helps reinforce understanding if the language

### 3/5 — Seems alright

*2022-02-11*

Crashes when trying to export flash cards. Wanted to email this in private, but cannot send a mail without a mail set up on iPhone.

### 4/5 — Rating the Italian app

*2020-12-18*

Generally the app works well. Recently there seems to be a problem that when I hit a word it automatically switches to another word and it will do it several times in a row. It would also be helpful if the gender would be noted when a noun ends in an “e”.

### 3/5 — Used to be good but ads suddenly became very intrusive

*2020-06-17, version 19.2*

Fine if you don’t mind noisy ads popping up that you can only get rid of by closing the app. This seems to get worse and worse as time goes on so I’m deleting it and buying a paid-for dictionary app.

### 3/5 — Helpful

*2017-04-12, version 18.0*

Good

### 3/5 — Good but ...

*2016-05-11*

Some problems in your app... check numbers !

### 3/5 — Umm..

*2014-07-02, version 9.7*

When I deleted this app and  then it just stayed there. I can't use it. It is just there? And I can't delete that.

### 3/5 — Great app but crashes!

*2014-04-28*

This app is going to be very helpful to me for when I have to speak to my Italian mother in law. Would definitely give 5 stars if it didn't crash every few minutes. Just an annoyance.

### 4/5 — Solid app

*2014-03-23*

This app has a fine variety of tools and doesn't cut you off quickly and force you to upgrade to access more of it. Some of the English usage/vocab is questionable, but overall a solid app.

### 5/5 — Great Application!

*2014-01-23*

This little app is amazing, from quick searches to specific word searches it wonderfully presents to me the definition, the phonetics, and even the synonyms for context. I love it. As well it randomly chooses a random word for you to learn. Great app which I use daily in my language learning quest. Thank You. Molto Buono!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2014-01-01*

Used this a couple dozen times on our trip to Italy. Every single time I looked up a word, the definition was there. I've used some dictionaries in the past that weren't complete and therefore not always helpful. This one was.

### 5/5 — App is useful!!!

*2013-11-17, version 9.3*

I just wish it had more words!!!

### 4/5 — Basic and reliable

*2013-11-08*

Does what it's supposed to, and does it quickly without much unnecessary fanfare. A couple of UI enhancements would help, but overall, I'm very happy with the app.

### 1/5 — Italian Dictionary

*2018-09-18*

Within the first minute of this app, a pop up advertisement blocked the page. Already deleted the app. 😩

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-06-13, version 12.0*

Many issues here- inaccuracy as a dictionary being a big one.  Lots of info missing.  Fairly useless.

### 1/5 — Wish I could give it 0

*2015-05-29, version 12.0*

Freemium apps at their worst.

### 1/5 — Bad app.

*2014-09-21, version 10.0*

Too complicated,they try to sell you all kind of junk ,except translating.

### 1/5 — STUPIDO! 😒

*2013-02-08, version 7.8.1*

I would give this a 0 star if that were possible. I say this because you look up 3 words, then it stops working for some reason! I hate it! I don't recomend!

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2012-12-11, version 7.7*

It only knows some Italian words like a quarter of what I needed. It is horrible worst dictionary app ever don't even download!!!!!:(

### 1/5 — Basic not very useful

*2012-03-12, version 6.7*

Can only translate from English to Italian. When an English word has more than one meaning just gives a list of Italian words but no indication of which one to use for each meaning. Word for the day will repeat itself & gives fairly unusual words to learn. Free yes. Useful no.

### 1/5 — Don't Believe The Previous Reviews

*2012-02-19*

This app is a complete waste of time; don't bother with it. For instance, Che = chemical engineer, volta = a river in West Africa! Ridiculous. I want my time and bandwidth back. Idiots.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2011-07-28, version 4.0*

You can only translate English to Italian. Dreadful and awkward interface.
Free ? Yes. Helpful ? Not really

### 2/5 — Not the best.

*2014-06-04, version 9.7*

I did not find this app to be very helpful at all. It requires upgrade and what you do get in the trail period was not what a traveler could use.

### 5/5 — REVIEW

*2020-01-06*

Very professional presentation....needs to be studied. Sometimes difficult

### 5/5 — Many hidden treasures

*2015-03-18*

Each time I dip into this app I find a new and incredibly helpful or fun feature. Very lean gui and initially I wasn't sure what it actually did or how I could use it as a newbie student of Italian. But a swipe of the screen revealed a list of multi-faceted activities, contextual audio and well curated phrase and vocabulary lists. Be sure to read the Help section and learn all this powerful tool can do.

### 5/5 — GREAT

*2014-05-09, version 9.6*

Really the best italian dictionary with lots of useful features! Thanks!!

### 5/5 — Useful and amusing

*2014-04-07*

This app is useful when it comes to looking up specific words, but also fun because it throws random words and phrases in. I've learned a lot.

### 5/5 — Paffggg😎😎😎

*2014-03-17, version 9.5.1*

Wonderful app

### 5/5 — Amazing
