Fantastic App!
Un autre parisien
This app is really handy to quickly translate words on the fly. I am glad that it is on my iPhone, because now I have a complete reference book in my pocket, wherever I go. Although I am fluent in both English and Portuguese, there are always those words that escape me in conversation, most commonly when referring to technical, academic, political, scientific, or other complex subjects. Sometimes explaining "around" the word is more challenging than getting the direct translation. Parabens, Ultralingua e obrigado pra este applicativo no meu iPhone!
i bought it when it was $30
MitchGorman
at 20 bucks, this is a really good price. it's so nice to have. i just sold my 501 portuguese verb book and pocket dictionary because i don't need them anymore now. i don't have their desktop software, so i don't have that to compare it to, but this already does more than my other books combined. i have an iphone, but i'm in brazil right now, so it usually doesn't have internet access, so i love being able to use this whenever. i'll probably get the spanish-english and english dictionary as well since they dropped the price.
Pronunciations??!?!!!!
dragonbeauty
Um this program is great except for the fact that there are barely any pronunciations... The few that are there are in Russian or some other foreign language that is neither Portuguese nor English!!! What the heck? Thank God my husband speaks Portuguese and can help me out, but what about those who don't have that kind of luxury??? Great app. besides the pronuciation issues!!! Almost every word I look up is in there.
Spectacular Dictionary

I lived in Brasil 12 years and read/write/speak Portuguese. I'm familiar with most of the available dictionaries but have never seen one as good and as useful as this one. The conjugation option is particularly helpful. This is a quality product worth much more than the $20 price!
Disappointing
Dpslm
In the first week since purchasing this pricey app, here are the words I looked up but that were not listed in this dictionary: anzol (fish hook), arrai (ray fish, skate), comover (to move, to stir), ralar (in the colloquial usage meaning to exert onesself), paquerar (to flirt), iguaria (a snack, delicacy), sovina (mean), bitolado (narrow-minded), quitute (snack), guloseima (a rich snack), caule (stem), foods like moqueca, feijoada, vatapa... the list goes on. I wasn't looking to see what was omitted - these are just words that I came across in my Portuguese studies. Considering the high price, this app is in serious need of major updating, and despite some nifty features (a history of words looked up, verb conjugations), I cannot recommend it. At all.
Worth Every Penny

Recently moved to Brazil and learning Portuguese. Don't listen to the reviews that complain about the price. I am using this program everyday and it is very useful. It is a very powerful tool if you are serious about learning portuguese and you are in Brazil. I don't carry anything else around and I use it for translating texts. It is a great layout and has a separate section for verbs with conjugations in all tenses. I have spent a lot of money on tools to help learn portuguese and this is by far my most favorite one. It does not have every word I have looked up but it does have most of them.

A rip off. Many common words missing. Poor translations. Really disappointing especially given the price. Don't buy! Don't buy!

Great update!
coelhinho
You guys just update it, way to go! Now I can find almost every word that I look for and much easier way, great job!
Good dictionary overall.

It serves well the purpose of a bilingual dictionary, as well as verb conjugator, with ease of use. My one criticism is that it does not always say whether nouns are masc/fem in Portuguese -critical information for agreement.
