Latest reviews of Wörterbuch Spanisch - Deutsch BASIS von PONS app for iPhone and iPad
I got this app because I wanted to have offline access to Spanish verb tables, so now I do. But Im appalled by the poor design and the lack of attention to detail. Not only is the design not in the style of iOS 7, its just really terrible. The font, the spacing, the buttons... Its a pity that I cant have both, a great app (like Languages) *and* comprehensive content.
Not recommended to buy. Cheap design, no background functionality (so the app always starts up new when switching between apps, with a delay), promised search for conjugated verb forms does not work. Reported problems to the developers - no response.
So far the small dictionary has suited my needs as a beginner German learner. It has the phonetic transcription, and the option to listen to a native speaker pronouncing some words, wich is great. I dont like much the voice they used though, thats why Im giving the app only 4 out of 5 stars
