Ultralingua

I am going to Brazil soon so I bought it. I love it. Nice interface and very easy to use. I recommend it!<br/><br/>Buy it! You won't regret it.

I've bought electonic Portuguese to English translators before that were by comparison to this useless. Even the ability to translate slang is above average compared to a traditional dictionary. I use this app all the time when practicing reading portuguese and it has proved invaluable; I'm too lazy to give most apps reviews but this one deserved props.

Don't like it at all. Very limited. Hardly enough words. Mainly hate it because definitions are so skimpy. Want my money back.

I tried everything but this app is locked on portrait mode now! I can't use it on landscape mode anymore! And my orientation is not locked!!! It's a terrible bug for a $19,99 app!!!

There are two updates I would like to see. First, I would really like to see medical terms put in. Imagine when you are sick and don't have the words to understand what is going on. <br/><br/>Second, I would love for the verb to conjugate directly from the search. Currently, when you find a verb you have to retype the verb in the -ir search. It would save time if I didn't have to retype the verb I had just found. <br/><br/>Otherwise, I love this app. I am fairly fluent in Portuguese and am currently living in Brazil, so this app is so helpful for the words I don't know. I also love the verb conjugation. Thank you.

App is great for anyone serious about learing portuguese, really easy to use and very intuitive. One star short of 5 bc it doesnt distinguish between portuguese portuguese and brazilian portuguese, please please please update and fix this there are some very distinct differences.

Shortly after buying my iPhone two years ago I bought the Ultralingua Portuguese-English dictionary app for it. Although I was hesitant given the price, it turned out to be a well-spent $20. The dictionary quality itself is as good as a medium to large-sized dictionary (not as good as the two-volume reference dictionary I have), but the UI is what makes it worth it -- making it easy to switch between definitions and verb conjugations -- everything is linked the way you want it to be. And they have made regular updates to the app as needed. When I bought my iPad, I was very pleased that they turned their dictionaries into &quot;universal&quot; apps so it had a special UI for the iPad without requiring a separate purchase. I can't recommend this app enough.

I originally gave this a good rating bit since studying and learning more português I found this dictionary to be seriously lacking. An entry will offer several possible translations without explanation. The dictionary tries to oversimplify the language and sometimes give you a misleading translation. Careful.
