Pros and cons of English Spanish Dictionary G. app for iPhone and iPad

English Spanish Dictionary G. app good for

I used to use the free and compact version, but upgrading to this one has been a wise choice. I teach English and Spanish as second languages, and the definitions, synonyms and examples are quite handy. I recommend this purchase.

Si estás intentando aprender el inglés y el español al mismo tiempo, esta app te resultará muy útil. If youre trying to learn English and Spanish at the same time, I highly recommend this app.

I tried a number of Spanish/English apps for ipad and this one is my favorite.

This is a very useful reference source as well as a good translation dictionary.

Me ayuda mucho :) Great dictionary, but what I love is the feature that allows you to search not only for a word but different phrases and idiomatic uses. The pronunciation / text2speech is also very good. Highly recommended.

I bought another dictionary first. This one cost double but its dirt cheap. I just started using it and I have to write this review now. I love this. I type anything in, spelled wrong, no accents, english or spanish ....and it is already guessing correctly what I am looking for. The descriptions are thorough and complex enough to be accurate. It is simple to use and fast. And when I thought it couldnt get any better, ....yes it talks too! The definitions will speak if you like. If you have a good start on Spanish or it is day one for you, this is what you need. There are so many forms of the verbs. In other dictionaries you need to know the correct spelling of the infinitive form of the verb. In this one, you can get almost everything wrong and still spot the word you need in a list. Well done! EASILY worth the money. Compare the features and think about it. Even though I paid for my other dictionary, I can see no reason to let it take space on my iPad. This one is that good.

Some bad moments

Loved this app until I installed the last update and now it wont work. Ever! It has the loading circle but never loads. None of the screens work and I cant search for words which just made it a GIANT waste of money!

I spent $10 on this dictionary and I really dont find it easy-to-use. The definitions are complicated and provide lost lists of synonyms. Each word ends up being loads of information, when all you want is a 1, or a few, equivalent translations. This is overwhelming when you just want to build your vocabulary base. If you already speak Spanish and really want to enrich your vocabulary, or if you are doing some translation work, perhaps this is a more suitable tool. Another problem is adding words to your favourites. Its awful! If you add just one word to your favourites, you can end up 6 or more versions of that word on your favourites... Way to complicated and disorganized. Please keep it simple!

I was wanting an electronic version but this program is so poor as to be almost useless. I wouldnt want it even if it was free.

This app is okay for sighted people but is not helpful for a blind person it would be easier once you say your sentence or word the response is immediate without having to find the word and click on it. Its very difficult to try and figure out. However for most people its helpful and it does it require Wi-Fi

... On iPad 4 iOS 6.1.3. Just a welcome screen. Does not start as well as the previous version :-(

I am not a happy camper after paying $10US for a suite of apps and there is NO HELP! I can look up English words, but how do I switch to Spanish. This seems like it should be obvious, but I can not find any way to do it. I tried their website. It must be under construction because it looks like an empty shell.
