Collins World Dictionary for Negative User Reviews

✓ May be goodThis app may work smashingly well but if it does, it isn’t obvious to me. I can’t get it to look up a Spanish work for the life of me..MirywiVersion: 11.0.10

✓ Can’t get it to workI’ve been trying to get the app to translate from French to English without success. It’s easier (and free) simply to Google the word you want translated..3Buch69serVersion: 11.0.10

✓ Audio does not workI usually use wordreference but decided to pay for offline searching and consistent audio. Unfortunately the Collins audio does not work and the help settings are extremely basic, providing no clues. I’m still on the free trial but there’s no obvious unsubscribe button so hoping this doesn’t turn into a paid failure!.ChonolioVersion: 11.0.10

✓ Collins World DictionaryI am very disappointed with this app as it is so basic. I got it for the French-English dictionary mainly. It is very basic compared to the free online Collins French-English dictionary, which I had thought would be the version used. The definitions are single words only, there are no example sentences, no idiomatic expressions as in the Collins free. I tested it by looking up some common French words: con, conne, conard, conasse - no definitions for these words at all, which is a surprise as they do appear in the Collins free. Then I looked in the About section and see that this is just the Mini Gem French English dictionary. If that is the level you want/need then fine but it is not for me. I will be cancelling..OawvdhoqnweovgnaeowiVersion: 11.0.10

✓ It’s ok but hard to navigate and sounds awfulI tried this for German and found that the pronunciation sounds were of such low quality it was hard to hear anything correctly for more complex words. Sounds like it was ripped from a CD made in 1995..LorpenderpoolVersion: 11.0.10

✓ Still a bit buggy...Dictionary search lags while typing in words to translate..Jet89Version: 11.0.3

✓ Is this a joke app?Search only provides audio pronunciations, word classification and literally nothing else..11111100000000654224667Version: 11.0.10

✓ Not much goodI thought this was a proper Collins dictionary, but it isn’t. It gives bare bones of translations. It is not much use if you want to understand words in context..TomwcVersion: 11.0.10

✓ Very poor for Swedish, and buggyThe dictionary for Swedish is tiny, and missing huge amounts of absolutely essential vocab. It’s no better (and is perhaps worse) than one of those tiny pocket dictionaries. I haven’t used it much for other languages, but the size of dictionary appears small (relative to Collins’ dedicated dictionaries) in Polish and German, too. It’s also currently buggy: it often switches from Swedish <=> English into an unwanted combination (eg Turkish <=> English) and then won’t let me switch it back. Collins need to do at least two things for this to be worth a subscription: put their full dictionaries into this product, and make the basic interface work reliably! In the mean time, free apps like Linguee or Babla are much better..HalRVersion: 11.0.10

✓ RubbishWill not translate the language I want translated.JugogVersion: 11.0.10

✓ Worst dictionary appWorst dictionary I have ever used.WhataboutbeingVersion: 11.0.10

✓ Don’t use the Folders feature, everIn addition to the bugs noted in my previous review, avoid using the Folders feature in Favorites. Tapping on an item in a folder plays the sound for some other word, and trying to move it back to the main Favorites folder crashes instead..Flash SheridanVersion: 11.0.4

✓ No Dark ModeWhere is the Dark Mode?.Cerezita19Version: 11.0.10

✓ No ChineseWhy can't I find Chinese translation? Thank you!.Growingrace777Version: 11.0.10

✓ Totally uselessThe “Help” instructions simply don’t work. Whatever pair of languages are in the operating windows cannot be changed or deleted. Since they’ve got my money with no way to get it back I have to chalk this up to an undesirable experience..Abundantly DissatisfiedVersion: 11.0.10
