Latest reviews of Oxford Russian Dictionary app for iPhone and iPad
No more declension tables per word and no more Russian sound module by native speakers!!! A complete disaster!!!!
Adequate for daily use. But strongly I hope this app of dictionary responds to split-view of iOs as early as possible!
This app is ok, but needs some more work to become great. It is not worth the $20 I paid for it yet. Many words that exist in Russian arent accessible from a search in English (for example the word toothbrush). Also, there is a little resource for verb conjugations, but I would like to see a regular verb table. Also, there is no audio pronunciations on this app.
So, this app has probably the best dictionary for Russian in the store, but the app itself needs some work. The advanced search features dont work (for example, Id like to be able to search for words containing roots, which is handy because Russian has lots of prefixes). And Id really appreciate flashcards (the old Oxford app had them before this developer took over.) Not bad overall but could use more to make it worth $20.
