It's just awesome! I love especially the vocal translation: push button, speak, listen (and read) translation in different language - Done. Also good if you need to tell somebody something in their language. Or take picture of a text (in picture, etc) translate all text or only chosen parts. So simple. It also works to crossover to other available languages, just pick the next language. Tip for developers: for learning purpose it would be great to be able to slow down the spoken translation.

An excellent dictionary showing the possible uses of words. I use this for individual words, but I still use Google Translate for sentences and phrases I don't know. One downside is that PONS has to restart every time you switch to another app, which is annoying when I'm adding a bunch of flashcards on my phone. But otherwise, really useful.

Query revision is a bit wonky. 100% satisfied with the rest. edit: After the response I tried hard to find out what I took issue with: I think it was the lack of history (or suggestions from history on top?) for the small query panel after having queried from the main screen before. This is slightly annoying when going back and forth between translations and wanting to return to the original query. And expanded it's a blank page with just the query panel, so there would be enough space.
