Latest reviews of Collins English<->Italian Phrasebook & Dictionary with Audio app for iPhone and iPad
Awesome until it stopped working.
The audio features do not work on iOS 5.
The dictionary with audio is nice. However, It would be even better if the vacabulary list is big and there is no detailed definition. The italian phrasebook is not very helpful as the person speaks too fast. It will be great if the slow sound function can be added.
I wish I had saved my money and not bought this app. Some of the audio is not correct and the app has quit on me quite a few times. Very disappointed. I couldve gotten most of this for free. I would really like my money back. At 12.99 this app should be perfect.
