### 4/5 — Very good!

*2026-08-12, version 12.14.43*

This is the best English/ Spanish dictionary by far, there’s only on flaw, and is the voice pronunciation, which barely works sometimes

### 4/5 — Spanish Dict Box

*2025-11-06, version 12.13.72*

Nice app. Works well. If you’re looking for an in-Spanish definition of a word in Spanish this might not be your app. Other than that, there are quite a few ads on this app and it’s kind of annoying but yeah, good app overall👍

### 3/5 — too many ads

*2025-07-03, version 12.13.72*

it's a great resource but the ads blocking the screen every few seconds make it extremely hard to use

### 3/5 — Great until?

*2025-06-21, version 12.13.72*

Have enjoyed using this very much for maybe six months, I find it very helpful with pronunciation and translations in Spanish/ English. Now, suddenly all I can get is the word and the pronunciation, no definition no other details, such as verb, adj, noun, masculine, feminine. I tap the word and it immediately takes me to some ad for an unrelated product. Gives me options to download another app to get definitions but I don’t want to have to use  different apps to get to the same place when this one used to be great. I guess I’ll try another app because this has become extremely disappointing.

### 3/5 — Many needless additions

*2025-06-17, version 12.13.72*

I now regret having subscribed to this app. It is bloated with needless and confusing options, tier upon tier 😬

### 3/5 — please add a dark mode

*2024-12-23, version 12.13.72*

please add a dark mode

### 4/5 — Switching

*2024-07-01, version 12.13.72*

Switching from Spanish to English is difficult.  I can’t figure it out.  That is my only complaint.

### 4/5 — Pretty cool

*2024-05-14, version 12.13.72*

I have to remove and ignore some ads but other than that 👍

### 2/5 — Free version is packed with ads

*2024-04-07, version 12.13.72*

The free version of this app is almost useable due the amount of ads you are force to watch.

### 4/5 — Expand flash card capabilities please!

*2024-02-21, version 12.13.72*

I love this app!! My only complaint is that for the flash cards it is difficult to switch the direction of  Spanish to English to English to Spanish. I can now recognize and define Spanish words in English, but I can not conjure the Spanish word from an English definition.  I hope that makes sense!

### 5/5 — Yes, this is the one you want

*2023-09-27, version 12.13.72*

Intuitive interface, robust & powerful.
I downloaded & ignored this app for weeks while I looked at more expensive options. Finally, I started using Dict Box & can’t believe I waited so long. The cost is minimal compared to other apps & it does everything I need it to do. Get it & enjoy!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-08-29, version 12.13.72*

### 5/5 — Quinones

*2023-07-23, version 12.13.72*

I am really glad I downloaded this dictionary app. It helps to enhance my Spanish language and vocabulary words. I use it to pronounce English words properly. A must have!!!!! Thank you

### 5/5 — The best!

*2023-06-14, version 12.13.72*

### 1/5 — Porno ads & links to Temu

*2026-08-15, version 12.14.43*

This scummy app shows lots of porno ads, and when I attempted to close them out, it took me to Temu. This app should be removed from the App Store.

### 1/5 — Idiots

*2025-08-06, version 12.13.72*

### 1/5 — Too bright, this hurts eyes

*2022-11-09, version 12.13.72*

Paid app no longer works

### 1/5 — Bad

### 5/5 — Why this app is good and you should get it

*2024-06-04, version 12.13.72*

this app is so good for my Spanish and I can curse mg brother out without him knowing what I’m saying, which is so cool anyway, you should get this app because it could help you learn Spanish and can always just say so. You could just cursed them out, especially if they bully you. That’s why I think you should get this app to help you learn your Spanish to curse people out and etc. etc. lol.

*2024-02-23, version 12.13.72*

Need to update to make it compatible with Apple’s latest software release. Other than this issue, I like the application.

Really like this application as it is helpful as an aid in learning Spanish.

### 5/5 — Useful tool

*2023-10-23, version 12.13.72*

The dictionary is an useful tool that I can reach out to on a daily basis.
