Must-have go-to app for your Spanish language learning needs. It not only includes audio and a sentence analyzer, but it has this convenient "Conjugation" tab that allows you to check out every possible conjugation of a given verb - VERY helpful! This is so much more than most dictionaries, and a lot of work has obviously gone into this app. I use it all the time and have found no other app its equal, to be honest. I love it.

Really easy to use better than Duolingo, Babel, and it is freeeee! I would like a faster way to navigate to the pronunciation short videos. You have to search word, then click examples, then click pronunciation, then click the video. A quick link that takes you straight to the video would be great to add. I love all the conjugation resources and quizzes. 12/10.
I don't like their method of getting money from people. You have to COMMIT to the first 7 days free then ,$59.99 /yr. That's all fine and dandy. But if you don't like/,need/want, it seems you still have to finish the 7 day period. If you uninstall the ap, nothing will happen and you will STILL be charged This is new to me and very irritating. They're SUPPOSED to send a warning 2 days before you're charged, but sometimes I'll miss a email. Oh, and there's a limit of characters here. I'm done
I appreciate this app! It's giving me a taste of Spanish (of which I knew nothing before!) and allows me to learn at my own pace (slow!)... I am mostly interested in speaking Spanish - not in writing it, so while I understand the reasons for emphasizing spelling and correct accent placement, etc., I make so many typos on my phone that it can be frustrating when it won't let me move on until I correct my errors. But I don't let that stop you from downloading it to increase your Spanish abilities
An indispensable resource for Spanish learners, the dictionary is so detailed. Even if you're using something else to learn the language, DOWNLOAD IT and use it as a supplement! If I were a free learner, I would use this instead of Duolingo simply because the ads are so much less intrusive (5 sec, no video). That said, the lesson & (especially) flashcard interface is pretty clunky, text and images can be very small, doesn't force keyboard to Spanish mode. With some polish, it could be amazing.
Edit: Based on the response about history, I've updated the rating. ----- .... In particular, it's no longer possible to see history of the words I've looked up. I used to go back and add those words to flash cards ...This used to be a high quality dictionary for a modest price. With the drastic price increase and recent changes, it seems like they're pushing this into more of a language learning app than a good, solid dictionary. That's disappointing.
This app is my constant companion. No one can learn how to speak a foreign language fluently by simply using an app, at some point you will actually need to talk to people! This app sure does comes close, though, and as a supplement to my ongoing Spanish class, it's amazing. Too many great features to name I'm addicted to the vocab quizzes, and the conjugation drills are where it's at. Customer support has also been above and beyond. Highly recommend if you're serious about gaining fluency.
I've thought more about the 3 stars I gave this app recently, and realize that I was a bit harsh. To me, the ads are a bit overwhelming, especially if I'm using my tablet (hence only 4 stars). However, this app's content is excellent! Vocab includes regional and colloquial usages; verb conjugations highlight irregular forms; and pronunciation is very helpful. Probably the best app of its type! I have yet to make extensive use of the lessons, but what I have tried have been fun and useful.
Last year it was $3 for a year of premium (just removes ads, really). That was fine. Now they want $60 for the exact same thing! I don't know who fell and hit their head at the office, but please take them off the team responsible for pricing and send them to see a neurologist. Reply: I don't want any of those new features, I just don't want ads. So offer two tiers: the $3/yr "no ads" option, and the more expensive one for those who want that. As it is now, you get nothing from me and I just use an ad blocker.
It's a good app, the translations and learning elements are really nice. But the ads are very annoying and overwhelming, I would be willing to pay to remove them & want to support the app, but $60/year for premium to remove ads is way more than I could afford. I wish they had an alternative option where you can just pay like $2.99 or something, a one-time payment to remove ads only. Otherwise I just want to find an alternative ad-blocking method, and the app gets no support at all
