Good but not sufficient

Very good tool, easy to use, i wish it could have more complete set

By geroslaw

Good, however

Good offline dictionary with a big bunch of words. I would like to have more examples of usage connection with prepositions. One thing is missing: live pronunciation and examples of sentences.

Comprehensive, not buggy

Worth it

Excellent all round dictionary.

By barschus

It takes 4 seconds to open it.

Google translator opens in less than a second. It’s annoying. I used to use this app a lot but now switch Google permanently.

First-Rate! Pierwszorzędny!

The dictionary itself is extensive. The interface usability of the app has improved to match the first-rate content. Added lots of functionality : games and flashcards that actually do help the learning process.

Bad support

This was good, but now has strange and irritating behaviors. I wrote a bug report (clearly and politely!) to the support address and their staff wrote a defensive reply about how they “cannot consider each user's comments and suggestions.” Obviously you don’t do whatever a user tells you to do, but if you’re not a loser and a slacker, you will at least try to determine if there is a bug or not before insulting the customer. The defect in question is it triggers “word of the day” setup behaviors every time the app is unminimized, and it makes it a pain to look up multiple words (a common scenario!) and I happen to know as an iOS developer that it’s easy and simple to fix. It’s easy and simple to know if the app is being launched via notification or not. Easy and simple, unless you’re a slacker whose priority is to save face and avoid work. I have also ran into multiple mistranslations and one (a translation for “seizure” in a medical context) actually caused some trouble in an emergency situation. This is the fault of the dictionary authors at Collins and not the ISV, but it’s a problem with the product either way.

Workable navigation; polish pronunciation with phonetics English equivalent would make app that much more useful.

Very comprehensive!

I’ve been using this dictionary app since July 2015 when I went to Kraków for a six-week intensive polish language class. Since then, I’ve continued my studies in a small class taught weekly by a native speaker. This dictionary app continues to be by go to app while studying and conversing. I use the Word of the Day and Flash Cards. I really like the examples of how the word is used in everyday polish phrases.
