App

I give three stars because the screen is not optimized for iPhone 6/6s but the app is really helpful.

My daily tool!

It is my (word)reference point! Now it is updated for iPhone 6 screen which is amazing. Thank you!

New dictionary

Español-Italian

Bug fixed, everything work!

Actually, after its review I can say that I love this app! Good job!

Good

User experience interface can be improved.

Fantastic

Ive used WR regularly for a range of languages, just noticed you can save terms! Wonderful. A few more sentences for each term would be the cherry on the cake. Thanks.

The English-Swedish dictionary is [still] missing although description states is available.

Please, FIX the app.

why not English-Swedish???

super good app, I love it, but English-Swedish is still not available on the app! its a pity!

Improved, but still flawed

The conjugator link sometimes doesnt work. Its easier to navigate than the previous versions but still needs improvement.

Love this app!

Far and away my favorite translation dictionary! The app includes everything from the website, and the interface is easy to get the hang of. I recommend this app to all my students who are using subpar translation dictionaries.

Swiss Knife for Polyglots

I speak many languages, and use this software on my iPad. Just love how fast I can switch between languages without losing my place in the newspaper that I am reading.

Amazing

Works perfect for me, I am using this app everyday in the school. It help me to improve my vocabulary. Its just perfect

Wasted my time and money

I tried removing ads on previous version to no avail. Now Im getting nonstop JAVASCRIPT errors in the lookup field. Developer wont respond. Please bring back a paid version that is error free and ad free.

Long time web user disappointed

WordReference has had an excellent website for years. Id gladly pay for an app that even reflected the approach used in that web design and content. While I realize an app cant do everything a desktop can, we have come a long way. Some things about this are just not even intuitive. Like if I want to translate the English of "where" to the Russian of the word, I can see it... But the listen function plays the audio of how to pronounce only the English. Users are going back and forth presumably to gain knowledge of another language so there should be an easy way to link to the one you are looking up and hear it. I need this and cant make it work. Hopefully thats just me being inept. I really loved the website for years and would like a more robust and functionally suitable app. Id pay for it.

Best Spanish-English app Ive used

I study Spanish as my college major (and as a non-native speaker) and am very happy with this app and have used it for years. It is a quick reference for when I come across an unfamiliar word, especially for trivial, random vocab that varies between Hispanic countries. Im glad that it shows multiple possible translations for words as they often depend on context, as well as example sentences for them. If you are looking to learn verb conjugations however, (as I am not) I would look for another app to download to have on your phone along with this one such as Spanish Dict. I love that on this app slang and dialect-specific words can easily be searched on online forums by another few clicks, this is especially helpful in understand Mexican conversation which is heavy in words you wouldnt find in a standard Spanish dictionary. Some are even in the dictionary and include the country of origin, which is very helpful for me. I will soon be a graduate student to teach Spanish in the near future and write this review only to express my gratitude. Creators, please keep up the great work expanding and perfecting this impressive pocket dictionary. 5 stars. Gracias por su ayuda en mis estudios

scrolling

I really like this application; only one thing; its almost impossible to scroll on the latest version for my iPhone 6. Hopefully the next upgrade will correct this. Otherwise it would have been rated 5 stars.

I like it

Never had an issue with it. This app is super useful to me.

improve

do improvment at save word by user name and chick quality of it it has hard to work at it and not useful

Desktop version so much better

WordReference as a service is amazing -- I couldnt survive school without it. The mobile app, though, is clunky and inefficient. It looks like the desktop version spit through an algorithm to make it fit into mobile, but I think it would be better with a total redesign dedicated to mobile.

Works great for me.

Im a Spanish-English interpreter and this app is awesome to use
