Collins Spanish-English

there is currently no icloud sync. both the bookshelf and individual collins dictionaries by the same developer advertise syncing favorites and transferring them to other devices but this function is broken which, for an app with this price tag, is unacceptable. the developer responded to an email inquiry letting me know that they are aware and have no timeline as to when a fix can be expected. i have many favorites in an individual dictionary app and after buying another one of their expensive dictionaries i am unable to use them both in the bookshelf app because there is no way of transferring all the favorites. the favorites also don’t sync between the iphone and ipad versions of the dictionary or bookshelf apps. the developer either needs to provide a fix, which honestly is not that serious of a coding job, or update the store description before people spend $18 for each of their dictionaries expecting the advertised features.

The Collins Spanish translator has been the most elegant and most useful that I have yet to find. Not only does it include comprehensive dictionaries in both Spanish and English, but it includes conjugations of almost all the verbs and “frases” or sentences that include the verbs. I am grateful that. translator didn’t forget to include idiomatic expressions. I could say much more such as it is embarrassingly inexpensive. Almost all of those idioms are present within the context of a sentence or a short paragraph. Thank you for this broad and deep surprise. I will enroll in a college class next Spring with much more optimism and confidence because of the Collins. With gratitude.

I like this Spanish English app more on the iPad than the iPhone because it shows two columns side-by-side for the definitions and the verb declensions. This app will speak whatever word you press so that you get the correct pronunciation. When it defines it give several examples of how to use the word, it translates the verb declensions which is very helpful when you get to the pretérito pluscuamperfecto. It's expensive but it's worth it.
