Ultralingua Portuguese-English

I have been using this app for around ten years (first bought on an old iPod touch). I bought it then because I needed something that didn’t require internet when I was in remote parts of Brazil. It has always been fast, thorough and reliable. The conjugation tools are a treasure. A big thank you to the developers for creating this, it has been a great investment for me.

Not very useful with Brazilian Portuguese. I find it in general very basic.

Don't like it at all. Very limited. Hardly enough words. Mainly hate it because definitions are so skimpy. Want my money back.

I had the Collins Portuguese-English dictionary and thought it missed words sometimes, so I bought this on the recommendation of one Kit Eaton in the New York Times. I'll give her a piece of my mind also. This dictionary lacks many very basic words and mistranslates others. Today I found an entry duplicated. Is no one proofreading? I'm going back to Collins and will attempt to get my money back from the iTunes store, good luck with that.

I got this before a recent trip to Brazil, and I was disappointed in how many times I tried to translate a word and didn't find it in the dictionary. I also was disappointed it didn't have the gender of the word (masculine or feminine) - at least that I could find. On the other hand, it does a great job with all the verb conjugations - that part works really well. And it is nice that it's a complete package - you can use it without having to have any connection (wi-fi or otherwise) to the phone.

Shortly after buying my iPhone two years ago I bought the Ultralingua Portuguese-English dictionary app for it. Although I was hesitant given the price, it turned out to be a well-spent $20. The dictionary quality itself is as good as a medium to large-sized dictionary (not as good as the two-volume reference dictionary I have), but the UI is what makes it worth it -- making it easy to switch between definitions and verb conjugations -- everything is linked the way you want it to be. And they have made regular updates to the app as needed. When I bought my iPad, I was very pleased that they turned their dictionaries into "universal" apps so it had a special UI for the iPad without requiring a separate purchase. I can't recommend this app enough.

I'm so pleased with the new updates now I think this application is worth the price !

This used to be a great app. The latest update was an attempt to add some stylization. What it did was ruin the UI and impact the utility. Positive Notes: Extensive dictionary. Conjugation feature is handy.

This ap saves a lot of time over using a paper dictionary, but I find only about 75% of the words I'm looking for and some of those I do find, do not have the appropriate definition. I am taking a Portuguese class, so am not looking up exotic words. I love the features though - it has some really clever usability. Just wish it were more complete and offered an audio pronunciation. I also wish they had a feature comparison of this ap and the more expensive ap. Not sure it's worth the money.

I have had this app for several years, and it keeps getting better and better. As an American living part-time in Rio studying Portuguese, I recommend it highly both for quick translations and for studying the incredibly complex Portuguese verb conjugations. Amazingly you don't need WiFi - it's all in your device. So no more little dictionaries in your pocket. Great personalized support from friendly techs. Love it!
