Disappointing "With Collins, you can trust each translation is correct. The Foremost Authority on the Language of Today" Oh well, a rather *catchpenny* statement, given what translation even the more complete version of the online Collins dictionary gives for a *wetback*. Someone should send *harlots* writing such reviews into a *paddy waggon*! I unfortunately had to fall back to my "Robert & Collins" dictionary for the translation of all these *words* which were missing in the dictionary.

The price is perfect for this dictionary. Extensive translations and examples available for most entries.

App works fine with a net connection, but beware that it only downloads the en->fr dictionary for offline use by default.
