It takes time to appreciate this...

As someone who has been living in Brazil for a number of years now, I have learned to appreciate this app. Yes, it’s relatively expensive, and yes, there are alternatives out there, for sure, but they are mostly dependent on internet connectivity and very often lacking. This is a standalone with all the features included. The conjugation explanations are often limited, but I’ve discerned the reasoning behind the omissions: the uncommon usage of such verbs and their conjugations. Moreover, most of the conjugations in Brazilian grammar are for literary purposes. If you are studying the language, as a foreigner, to completely master it like a highly educated native, then you are going to need a lot more than an app. Even most Brazilians don’t know all the conjugations, just like most English speakers cannot explain most of the english grammar rules. This app is for someone who plans to live in Brazil for a long time, as it is (IMO) a VERY good, and well thought-out reference application. And btw, it is linked to the internal ios Portuguese-English dictionary, which makes it a full dictionary in addition to a conjugator. I use this app EVERY day and my return on investmemt has been 100 percent!

Well worth the price

I was hesitant to buy an app priced so much higher than other dictionaries but I have gotten my money's worth MANY times over studying portuguese in Brazil. When you need to find a word there is no fumbling around - you have it instantly. The conjugations are also extemely valuable to students of the language. Very rarely are words missing from the dictionary - although notably missing different cuts of meat! It's quite complete, but it is not really a phrasebook. Buy this if you live in Brazil (well, you'll be happy until your iphone is stolen) or serious about learning. Do not buy if you are a tourist!

Suggestions for the developer: switching back and forth between the dictionary and conjugations is so cumbersome and awkward! It is almost like two seperate programs. Why not make this more seamless?

lacks advertised functionality

there is currently no icloud sync. both the bookshelf and individual collins dictionaries by the same developer advertise syncing favorites and transferring them to other devices but this function is broken which, for an app with this price tag, is unacceptable. the developer responded to an email inquiry letting me know that they are aware and have no timeline as to when a fix can be expected. i have many favorites in an individual dictionary app and after buying another one of their expensive dictionaries i am unable to use them both in the bookshelf app because there is no way of transferring all the favorites. the favorites also don’t sync between the iphone and ipad versions of the dictionary or bookshelf apps. the developer either needs to provide a fix, which honestly is not that serious of a coding job, or update the store description before people spend $18 for each of their dictionaries expecting the advertised features.
