Very disappointed. Bought this because the Collins app on the iPhone is one of my favourite apps for learning Spanish. This is similarly expensive to the iPhone app but with much less functionality. In particular, you cannot conjugate, or search within sentence examples to help you quickly identify what you are trying to say as a full sentence (compared to isolated words). If I could get a refund I would. Developers - please do some more work on this app to justify the price tag.
Generally easy to use. The offline option is excellent. But I would like to see an option to hear the pronunciation, as you can with some dictionary apps. I am also not sure why it does not include as many alternative words as Wordreference does for some words.
Very useful and convenient to use offline. No major complaints so far.
