Collins Italian-English

Ti ringrazio molto per la programma spettacolare!

This App makes living in Italy much easier !

$25. The app structure is terrible - visually disorganized, forcing you to wade through text to find what you're looking for. Often requires typing the word out fully, with perfect spelling, in order to pull up a result. Includes no reflexive verbs, which differ in meaning. Often excludes important context for compound tenses - sometimes verbs use different auxiliary verbs depending upon meaning. Example: cominciare uses essere for pp when intransitive, but avere for transitive. Ingrassare means to fatten or gain weight - with avere, it would mean you're fattening something else up. Gaining weight would require essere. Piovere may use either, though the app shows only one.<br/><br/>I repeat, $25 for a messy, incomplete and sometimes incorrect app. Not happy.

Worth the price. Nice to have access to a detailed offline language resource while traveling. Lots of helpful information for someone serious about learning a language. I especially appreciate the conjugations. I had a problem with the &quot;speak&quot; function, but sent an email to support and got a prompt and helpful reply. Turns out that &quot;speak&quot; doesn't work in silent mode(my default mode), so I turned on the ringer and it works fine. Probably not an app for those who just want to learn a few survival phrases for occasional travel. But for those who want to dig deeper it is excellent.

Excellent resource!

How do I turn dark mode off?

As a polyglot, I love these dictionaries, especially the conjugation and audio features. It gives you tens-of-thousands of sample sentences which gives you more to study just flipping through the app than all of Babel’s content combined. To the Collins team, please give us our flag design back. I now have trouble recognizing them, also the simple Italicized ‘A’ does not stand out.

I have studied Italian for many years, read many books, and purchased many dictionaries, verb conjugators, etc etc. I have the Collins interactive dictionary on my Kindle, and it is great, but a bit compendious at times to switch between it and the book I am reading. This is faster to use even though on a separate device. Now, the next time I travel to Italy I can use only this! The verb conjugations are excellent and the possible uses, translations and idiomatics are all there! It does not need a WiFi feed in order to use it either. Plan to purchase the French one as well!
