Pros and cons of Collins Polish Dictionary app for iPhone and iPad

Collins Polish Dictionary app good for

Very nice and useful, I use this app for years and see is getting better and better :)

Managing bigger amounts of flash cards in this app is a nightmare.

No fancy features like entering via audio or picture not mentioning translation of whole sentences but still useful app esp when offline

I use this app frequently and rarely cannot find the word I need.

I was confused , now I know is great!, after updated software to v4.0 stopped working on iPhone 3gs!!!! Do something guys!!!!

I am an English speaker learning Polish. For Polish verbs, this dictionary lists perfective and imperfective forms, gives the 1SG and 2SG conjugations, and gives usage examples, including colloquial. Other parts of speech have similarly complete entries like a printed dictionary. Youll need to know how to enter the accented characters to look up some Polish words: on an iPod, "hold down" a letter, and a row of accented characters for that letter will appear in a row above - drag your finger to the one you want.

Some bad moments

Dont buy this app, its too expensive for what it does! The definitions are ok but theyre not detailed enough. There is no audio pronunciation nor script for Polish and the games are sort of ok (they pick random words in the dictionary, which means they are often unfrequent words) but they only work for Polish people who want to learn English so for me theyre totally useless!

I was thrilled to see the International Phonetic Alphabet used in the sample image, but was disappointed to learn after buying the app that it is only used for pronunciation of English words. I am an English speaker who needs guidance in Polish pronunciation, so this dictionary is not particularly useful for my needs.
