Clear dictionary with good range of words. Have currently got COMPACT installed. Don't understand why update is to CONCISE. What's the difference?
The Best I have tried every Spanish-Dictionary on Google Play, except those described as online-only. (This was a fun exercise for a retired programmer & software tester.) I subsequently purchased this app for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus because: 1) It works fully offline once you load the dictionary to your device. 2) The font size is fully adjustable via the normal two-finger swiping motion on the touchscreen. 3) The app runs smoothly & has never crashed. 4) The layout of the definitions is esthetically pleasing and easy to scan for the part of speech or situation that you need. 5) The definitions are useful; they address various parts of speech & meanings, with many examples of usage, without information overload. 6) You can touch an unfamiliar word in a definition to jump to its definition. 7) I received prompt replies to my questions from the support staff.
