Pros and cons of Languages app for iPhone and iPad

Languages app good for

Suggestion: Automatically select the whole word when going back to the lookup page.

This is the killer feature. Once youve downloaded the dictionaries you need, youre good to go.

Mainly using Spanish-English and am content. App crashes sometimes but is well-made.

Very good app, just need new Languages, even if need to pay a bit more, i miss a french-portuguese one.

Works well, very neat user interface and most of all, WiFi-free.. Awesome !

Only 99¢ for 12 language dictionaries covering 7 Languages… Amazing!

Some bad moments

Only the english-german and the english-spanish part was installed. installation of the other versions not possible. That is not what I wanted!

Works very well, but an update with an iOS 7 design and support for the iPad would be much appreciated.

There are two things I needed this app to do: open quickly and work well. It does not do either of these. Its slow as molasses opening (on an iPhone 4S) and it has also only had about 25% of the words Ive tried to look up in both French and Italian.

Fine for nouns, but no verb conjugations (in Spanish) so bad luck trying to figure out anything that isnt the root form of the verb, ie most normal speech or text. Not very helpful.

Terrible dictionary. Doesnt have half the words I try to look up. Not even as simple a word as "loisible," nor the verb "saisir."

Vocabularies are very rudimentary, no transcriptions or audio, how would I know how to pronounce a word?
