Ratings and reviews

PROS: Excellent content from Collins, on a par with Oxford. CONS: No “share” integration to select and look up words from other apps. Search functionality is very limited; there’s no full text, example or idiom search. The extra content on grammar, pronunciation, abbreviations, etc. isn't included (many dictionary apps do include this). Favorites don't sync across devices. There's no setting for defaulting to Spanish or English search. This seems to change depending on use, but a setting would be better. Word of the day behavior has improved slightly, but it is still confusing and not customizable. The interface has a busy, adware-like appearance. On the home screen of a paid app I don't want to see "Invite Friends" and "Rate App," as if these were features for my benefit. The nagging “rate 5 stars” popup is especially annoying. I much prefer the WordWeb dictionary interface for which currently only the Chambers dictionaries appear to be available.

This app (the premium version) is pretty darn good. Not as complete as the unabridged hard-copy version, of course, but still very usable as a quick resource. As a Spanish professor, Collins has long been my choice as a bilingual Spanish-English dictionary. It is based in part on the excellent monolingual "Diccionario de uso del español" by María Moliner, which is highly authoritative and impeccably accurate in terms of actual language usage, as its title implies.

After trying various "free" dictionaries, I paid the money for this: and was delighted! Worth every penny: a really professional tool with loads of real-life examples (which are very important: English speakers will often imagine they understand the word from the cognate English, but meaning and usage in Spanish are often significantly different). Grouses? I can't find the all-important conjugations, which annoyingly seem to be available in the Apple version. "Word of the Day" is often amazingly eclectic. I would like to be able to download the "favourites" list. V. positive: google playstore recognises your devices and (hopefully!) will allow it to be installed on a new one (my mobile is playing up, and will need to be replaced).
