Collins Latin Dictionary for Negative User Reviews
✓ Limited vocabularyVery limited number of words. Of the first 20 words I tried to look up, I only found 5. Common words like Kyrie and eleison from the latin mass are not to be found..Version: 0
✓ Poor reference bookI have several Collins dictionaries. The modern language editions (Italian, French, German) are much better, though the price is the same. They are better because they offer very sophisticated help in the form of full paradigms. The Latin dictionary by contrast is pretty basic. Collins should do better.Version: 10.0.11
✓ MediocreNot a great app because it does not offer any kind of parsing tool nor does it tell you what declension / conjugation group the noun / verb is in which is vital when you are trying to learn latin. Save your money and use Wikipedia's dictionary instead!.Version: 0
✓ I haveHeyday myrtle has u.Version: 10.0.11
✓ Collins Latin DictionaryVery disappointed. For £6.99 I expected something much better with examples of use as well as definition. Games (one of which doesn't work) are in English - what's the point of that? Would be ok for a beginner if priced at £0.99..Version: 5.2.22
✓ Good product turned bad.It saddens me to write badly about this dictionary. It was good, it׳s now nearly useless. No browsing. No fuzzy search. No wild card search. None of the features that used to be so good. Please restore these immediately. Without them this product is useless..Version: 6.1.3
✓ High priceDefinitely think there could be improvements. Audio would be good and more background info when it comes to word distinctions. A learner isn't going to know what to choose when there are three or four words that don't have the same nuances in English. Seems to give odd variants for common every day words..Version: 5.0.11
✓ IPhone 5?Needs iphone 5 compatibility.Version: 5.0.11
✓ Poor to the Point of Being UselessCannot find “stabat” as in stabat mater. Seems only to be able to find infinitives. No conjugations or declensions. You need to be able to speak Latin and derive a word’s root before this non-dictionary can find it. Suggestions for “stabat” begin with the letter A. Presumably it wants you to scroll through the entire word list. No thanks. Very Boo and very Hiss..Version: 10.0.11
✓ AverageWhere are the conjugations????.Version: 3.01
✓ DO NOT PURCHASE THIS APP!Do not waste your money on this app. I tried downlaoding this app several times without success. Save your money..Version: 0
✓ Do not buyBoth a very poor quality app and Latin dictionary!.Version: 0
✓ No thought given to accessibility for the blindThe developers of this app have given no consideration to the needs of blind users. It cannot be navigated using Voice Over: the pane that shows the definition is completely opaque as far as Voice Over is concerned..Version: 8.5.4
✓ Mobi system's abusive "rate the app" pop-upI have four paid dictionary apps, some were quite expensive, which have been taken over by this company. Each one now has a "rate the app" pop-up that blocks the screen and gives you only two options: "not now" or "rate 5 stars". Unless you rate this app five stars, this pop-up will continue to appear. Do not purchase, Collins Latin, Oxford Hackett French, Oxford Paravia Italian, or Oxford Duden German apps if you think this is abusive..Version: 10.0.11
✓ LawlessGem93Watch out! The games are all in English, not latin..Version: 8.2.2
✓ Good but could be betterAudio pronunciation would be great.Version: 10.0.11
✓ Nice app but currently broken for iOS 4A fine app, but my main purpose in writing this review is simply to notify Collins that the app is currently broken and unusable in iOS 4 -- it won't start. So -- please fix this bug..Version: 0
✓ Bad updateThe new design changes from two panels on the screen to one, meaning that you will need to keep going back an forth. Completely unhelpful for an iPad..Version: 10.0.3
✓ Like access to word origin infoI wish it had a widget to encourage a word per day for the young ones.Version: 10.0.3
✓ Annoying & limited + endless damands.Demands five star reviews but provides very limited vocabulary and no conjugations or declensions..Version: 10.0.11
✓ LatinGood dictionary but not happy with the daily word to learn. It tends to be the same word - why can’t it be a familiar word that is useful to the beginner?.Version: 10.0.11
✓ Bad appBad.Version: 10.0.3
✓ Extremely disappointingThis is no more than a word list with translations and bookmarking facility. One expects far more from a relatively expensive digital dictionary. It not only lacks a parsing tool but has no charts at all for verbs or nouns, no list of prepositions etc etc. Very surprising from Collins, and most definitely not worth the money..Version: 0
✓ ‘Word of the day’ has Alzheimer’s!This is a good basic dictionary - all the better for being an app. It has a word of the day feature which for the past six days has been the same word - orphan. Yes, I am an orphan but don’t need this dumb Dictionary to remind me every morning. Fix it or I’ll delete the damn app..Version: 10.0.3
✓ UnacceptableThe dictionary is ok. Annoying that the abbreviations meant to save paper are still there in the digital version. Annoying too that many links to other Latin words don't work because they haven't stripped the macarons in the link. But worst of all and very, very irritating are the repeated requests to 'Rate 5 stars' or 'Not now'. No other options. No 'no thanks'. Blatant attempt to fix the ratings. That's why I give one star. Fix it now please..Version: 8.2.2
✓ HiWhere’s my Latin dictionary???.Version: 10.0.3
✓ Shamefully badAn expensive app, the Collins Latin Dictionary provides less information and less usability than the .99 apps. It is inexcusably inadequate, and its advertising claims border on the fraudulent--especially considering its 9.99 price. No more than a word list, a basic glossary, it lacks all the traditional apparatus of a professionally prepared dictionary: no examples, incomplete entries, no charts or tables or lists. Astonishingly, its extra features, games & such, are in English--no help at all for learning Latin. This is a badly--no, cynically--produced reference that would be overpriced at any price..Version: 5.2.22
✓ Decent dictionary with room for improvementIt’s a decent dictionary, the layout is good, however it is pretty annoying that the translation order keeps switching to English - Latin. I often want to translate from Latin only, but after few words it switches automatically to English words. I hope they fix it. Also we can’t put the words in favorite in one click, so that’s not convenient. They should also add more Latin phrases in examples..Version: 10.0.11
✓ Poorly designed. Says same word of day every day.Poorly designed. Was better when first came out. Now updated version has really bad colors. With io15.5 poor design and constant flaws it is this app or iOS. iOS 15.5 is horrible. Word of day keeps coming up as Adventus. Please fix. Everyday same word. How is this normal? Used to work..Version: 10.0.11
✓ Expensive for no reasonGood app. Love the word of the day feature. Confused as to why it’s so expensive when there are free Latin dictionaries that factor in declensions/conjugations instead of just the first principle part..Version: 10.0.11
✓ BasicEvery time you open this app a modal popup attempts to solicit a 5-star review. Not only is this annoyance unbecoming of a paid app, but the app emphatically does not deserve five stars. The Latin entries do not show inflections and it is not possible to search by inflected forms. This is a major drawback for an inflected language such as Latin. Also the entries for English verbs contain hyperlinks to Latin present active infinitives, but the Latin verbs are organised by first-person singular, which means the links don't work! And in any case they are very hard to click on. Also I find it quite cumbersome to switch between English and Latin searches. Why not just show results from either language? This app feels like it was not designed with Latin in mind..Version: 8.5.4
✓ AwfulCan we have our old layout back, please? This is awful, difficult to navigate and seems to be change just for the sake of it..Version: 10.0.11
✓ It’s ok but…I have several of the other Collins dictionaries and the modern language ones have many more features - the verb charts for every verb are especially useful. The Latin dictionary is very basic though, and I would recommend a regular book dictionary as the electronic one doesn’t add value..Version: 10.0.11
✓ Overpriced and by a great marginIt only appears to be a useful dictionary until you make the mistake of purchasing it. It’s a featureless word listing. For this price one would expect declension and conjugation info. It does give the principal parts of verbs but that’s it. Easily the biggest waste of $10.00 I ever made. Okay, $9.99..Version: 10.0.11
✓ Bare bonesUseful. I'd love guidance as to usage, etymology, links to declension/conjugation.Version: 8.5.4
✓ $15 for this?I paid $15 for what was called the “best Latin dictionary out there” for students. This thing is the BARE MINIMUM. Barely any information at all. Ridiculous..Version: 10.0.11
✓ Collins needs to look to it's reputation v5.0.11I have several excellent Collins dictionaries in book form. Why does the digital version omit essential 'extras' such as the pronunciation guide that is in the preface of the paper version? Just as the Collins French digital dictionary also omits it. I bought this dictionary to help with learning the common derivation of French and English from Latin. The etymology is not given in the Collins French dictionary but it is in the excellent Antidote. Unfortunately at least 50% of thé words that I have tried to look up are not in the Latin dictionary. Wrong type of Latin I suppose..Version: 5.0.11
✓ English hangman onlyI don't understand why you have hangman and word scramble doing English words only. I know English, want to learn latin. So pretty useless. It's those I bought this app for. Dictionary itself is OK but expensive, I already had one just as good for cheaper..Version: 5.2.22
✓ Needs an updateThis app is great for when you need to find those picky words, however the app does not live up to its predecessors like the Collins 'le Robert' and the Collins Spanish dictionary. The app is still functioning in IOS6 and things like the font and keyboard don't feel correct! Overall, it's a good app but needs a lot of refining..Version: 5.2.22
✓ REMOVE ANNOYING RATING/REVIEW PROMPT!!!Please remove that annoying review prompt. We've purchased app. Make this something we can turn off in settings. We should not be 'annoyed into' writing reviews!.Version: 8.5.4
✓ Has a bugThis dictionary is ok but it crashes when using the bookmarks..Version: 0
