Like the looks a lot, but worry about accuracy

Not too reassuring...conjugation for freir has freido instead of frito...how many other errors lurking?
overpriced
Speedracer3000
It works fine but it's a bit pricey for a dictionary. It should be around $10.
Very happy with this product
iPhone User 31666
Tried Spanish Anywhere first, but quickly ran into words that weren't included in that dictionary. This one is comprehensive - I haven't stumped it yet. I like the history feature to review words you've previously looked up, but a bookmark feature would be better as it gives the user more control. An integrated flashcard feature for memorizing the words you've looked up would be hugely useful and would really set this apart from paper dictionaries.
Very nice
Mschickler
Looks very good so far. The ability to search for a conjugated verb and find the matching infinitive is great (especially for irregular verbs). If it automatically took you to the correct tense page when you tapped on the entry, it would be even better!
no audio pronunciation ????
lucho2000
I paid almost $25 and no audio pronunciation, that is very bad, So what this app. has different from the other that make it too expensive??ahhh is just because is from Ultralingua :-(
A tremendous disappointment
Rudy_Chasal
If I had the time, I would make a list of all the words this dictionary doesn't include. It's practically useless. Don't buy it! I wouldn't download it again even if it were free.
Why is it called "Pro?"
Spanish literature student
Unfortunately, this dictionary really cannot be called "Pro." One would think that "Pro" means "for the non-novice" or "for those seeking additional definitions for less common words." This dictionary, however, is geared toward beginning students and should market itself as such. For example, upon download, I immediately attempted to find some words I had recently come across -- to no avail. "Mordiente" -- no entry found. "Verdín" -- no entry found. While these are not words that basic students need to know, a "Pro" dictionary should be exactly that -- more advanced, with a wider range of vocabulary and an eye toward words a student of Spanish will encounter as his or her studies progress.
previous reviewer mistaken

This dictionary is excellent. Not only is casa there (with 9 entries defining it) but so are many other words. I am having a problem with the conjugation function, but that may just be my phone. The previous reviewer who said that even basic words could not be found was not using the dictionary very well.
