A bug never allows it to access the database

• ★☆☆☆☆   cristianovalois 10 years ago ( v 1.0.1 )

I bought this dic a couple of years ago. By that time there was no other Spanish dictionary available at apple store. It used to run perfectly well, but since the last O.S updates, it has stopped sudenly to run. No matter how many times I reiinstall it, ther is always this message that the database is corrupt. I do not know what is precisely happening, but it won’t work with Lion, so be awarned.

Great reference

• ★★★★★   abjice 11 years ago ( v 1.0.1 )

This THE Spanish-English/English-Spanish dictionary to buy. Tons of useful features! If I could suggest just one improvement: sync favourites with Dropbox as in the iOS version. The developer is very responsive and helpful.

In fact as far as dictionaries go it is a good one. But on my mac it gets blocked very often, which is very annoying. I reopen, send crash reports but it gets blocked again and again. So that sometimes I even forget the word I want to look up in the dictionary. 4 stars as a dictionary -no problem of that sort on Ipad- but 1 star as an application. Hope somebody will look into the problem. Cheers.

Estupenda herramienta para el trabajo o el hogar. En mi caso queria comprar un buen diccionario y dude entre uno físico o electronico hasta que conseguir este que definitivamente cumple y supera mis expectativas. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Great Product

Ive used Word Magic for years on my PC to help with learning Spanish so immediately decided I needed to install this version on my new Mac. Word Magic is a consistently excellent product and so thorough.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

• ☆☆☆☆☆   Eduardo 808 12 years ago

No creo que esta sea una estupenda herramenta, lo compre por los Reviews que lei, la primera palabra que busque no la tiene el diccionario que es la palabra "would" y despues busque otra "were" y tampoco la encontro. y para ser un "Unabridged Dictionary" y no tener esas palabras tan usuales. pues cualquier diccionario gratis del web trae esas palabras y con mucha esplicasion. lastima del dinero que gaste. DO NOT WASTE YOU MONEY.

Fantastic Dictionary!

I have several Apps from this developer on my iPad and iPhone. I am delighted with the user-friendly interface and the comprehensive collection of information offered in this Unabridged Dictionary for my Mac! From the richness of the definitions to the useful example phrases, there is an enormous database of language knowledge! This is one of the few dictionaries that will define a conjugated verb. The extensive conjugation tables are extremely helpful. One of my favorite features is Quotables. This feature offers insights into the language for a non-native speaker. This is an absolute must have for anyone needing a Spanish/English dictionary.
