Italian Dictionary + ©

Extremely helpful with my Italian homework. Especially the conjugations.

Use it all the time. Good functions and presentation.

Comprehensive and up-to-date. Particularly like the pronunciation button. Have been pronouncing ‘cocomero’ wrong for years!

Yet again I see that my inept interpretation of the 'Star system' in the reviewing procedure has failed to properly represent my high estimation of this product. I say again that I unequivocally rate it as FIVE star. And here is why: I installed the App. some three or four years ago and I have been using it 'on the go' to translate the words I have been encountering in my daily living here in Italy's Tuscany. In the grocers and the green grocers and the bar and the hardware store it has regularly come to my aid. But in recent weeks I have embarked on the long journey towards becoming fluent in the Italian language. So it is now that I have come to appreciate, admire and applause the true power of this App. Beyond the simple translation Eng/It/Eng is a range of most helpful aids: with an Internet connection the chance to HEAR the word pronounced accurately; without an Internet connection: a comprehensive list of the meaning of the word in the different contexts in which it can be used; by highlighting any verb the COMPLETE conjugation of the verb in the fourteen tenses of Italian and the twelve tenses of English; and MOST HELPFUL, a comprehensive list of examples of the chosen word as it is used in everyday speech and script. FIVE Star!! I would give it more! I have been using the recently updated version for a little over a week now and I can heartily endorse my earlier praise for this app. and add that I am finding the extra features even more helpful while I am using it intensively every day. The revised format presents the definitions and examples of the word in differing contexts more clearly and very easy for the eye to follow. The revised layout is easier to use, especially the relocating of the 'history' icon. I generally use the app. off-line and I have a comprehensive dictionary to help me out for the occasional word not included. I was very pleasantly surprised to discover the offer of an automatic link to "WordReference.com" the instant I typed in a word not listed in the app. earlier this afternoon. I am using this app. intensively on a daily basis. It has become a very valuable and trusted friend to me as I tackle the long task of learning the Italian language. oooo00000oooo Some years on from when I wrote this first, I heartily endorse every word (and it is through no fault of this splendid App. that I am far far from fluent in Italian. “Only undefeated because we have gone on trying.)

In general, a very good dictionary which I purchased on a very promising verb section in the free version. However, as much it is a good offline dictionary which works quickly, it is missing what I consider to be essential parts of Italian grammar. First of all, there does not appear to be any gerund conjugations in the verbs. Secondly, there are no references to imperative use of verbs which is very much part of Italian vocabulary. Hopefully, these features will be added in future updates and although they are missing, it’s not enough to make me want to cancel the purchase. Furthermore, there appears to be no reference to the formal use of verbs and 'dropping the tu' - or not as the case is when addressing formally. One thing it does have which I haven’t seen in any other app-based dictionaries are conjugations for reflexive verbs, so 10/10 for that. Compared to other Italian/English dictionaries on the App Store it does have most of everything somebody studying Italian in a class will need, but still needs a bit extra.

I am so pleased to have found this after coping with a variety of dictionary books for many years. My Damascene moment was two years ago whilst on a short Italian language course in Florence. Imagine me, fumbling through my my pocket tourist dictionary and failing miserably to keep up with the rest of the class! I am 70+, my colleagues, all 20-30 ish were all managing to keep up with our teacher's carefully spoken Italian, by doing some magical thing on their phones. I soon discovered their secret! Now I have used this superb app ever since. It is so useful on a daily basis for reading and also in conjunction with my studies on Duolingo. My grateful thanks go to all who have been involved with producing it. Rose Grant

Really useful for travelling. Very easy to look up a word/phrase in either language. Easy to cross reference. Makes learning Italian easier by helping to add a few relevant words of vocabulary each day.

The recent update has made it much clearer and easier to use. My ‘go-to’ Italian reference app

Extremely useful tool when learning italian. Look up any word and the meanings appear with numerous contextual examples, verb conjugations and audio for pronunciation. The last item could be better and the volume of content could be greater - as one would expect the difference between dictionaries of different sizes.

I made a mistake about a week ago, giving this app a bad review. I wish to retract my earlier criticism and recommend this app.
