Collins portugués-inglés

App crashes when trying to use the speak function. Waste of $20

This is dictionary’s better if you speak British English as opposed to American English because terms are different. Also, it oftentimes has the definition of phrases but those only appear if you put in a particular word, e.g. falar; the definition doesn’t appear when searching for the phrase.

As someone who has been living in Brazil for a number of years now, I have learned to appreciate this app. Yes, it’s relatively expensive, and yes, there are alternatives out there, for sure, but they are mostly dependent on internet connectivity and very often lacking. This is a standalone with all the features included. The conjugation explanations are often limited, but I’ve discerned the reasoning behind the omissions: the uncommon usage of such verbs and their conjugations. Moreover, most of the conjugations in Brazilian grammar are for literary purposes. If you are studying the language, as a foreigner, to completely master it like a highly educated native, then you are going to need a lot more than an app. Even most Brazilians don’t know all the conjugations, just like most English speakers cannot explain most of the english grammar rules. This app is for someone who plans to live in Brazil for a long time, as it is (IMO) a VERY good, and well thought-out reference application. And btw, it is linked to the internal ios Portuguese-English dictionary, which makes it a full dictionary in addition to a conjugator. I use this app EVERY day and my return on investmemt has been 100 percent!

This dictionary gives only the Brazilian pronunciation of words. So if you want to learn European Portuguese, this is useless. They could very easily include both IPAs for Brazilian and European Portuguese. Until this happens, it’s 1 star for me.

This is easily the best Portuguese dictionary app. A lot of care was put into making the interface clean and intuitive. The only issue is that it's clumsy to close definitions. You open a definition by tapping on the word, but to close you have to click on a little "arrows" button on the other side of the screen. The definitions also stay open forever, so after awhile a bunch of definitions are open. I'd expect them to be closed automatically at some point, like when you open the app.

It keeps shutting down after installing the recent update. It shuts down immediately upon clicking on the app- I cannot use it at all now.

I work in Brasil & have been using this dictionary for over a year now & found it to be indispensable before the update. I was a bit jarred by the completely new user interface & then I clicked on a verb to conjugate & found that the developers have added an extremely important element for verb conjugation which is missing in EVERY single book (including 501 Portuguese verbs.) This dictionary now includes Portuguese & English conjugations side by side for most of the verb forms in the dictionary! Now you don't need to know the meaning of preterit, mais que perfeto, subjunctivo, etc. This makes your learning experience a ton easier! Compared to most iPhone/iPad apps this app is expensive; but if you need to learn Brasilian Portuguese, don't be a cheapskate & cough up the dough!!! You only pay once & you can use it on both the iPhone & iPad...

I like it. The updates are good too. Uso o dicionário português.

I have been using Spanish version of this dictionary for couple of years, and have been happy. However, the Portuguese version is very limited, crashes often, need to reboot phone frequently to make it work, and it is not a good value for the money. Don't buy it until they fix it.
