Good, but slow The dictionary is great, but when trying to quickly look up a word, it's a bit slower. I use Leo too, and use that more often because it's more responsive. I'd prefer to use Pons all the time, but it's not last enough. Splash screens, response time, loading time etc....

Pons dic app on android phone The app has stopped working since 22 March update (today). I have an HTC Sensation android cell phone. Reinstalled the app but the problem persists. The vocab trainer app appears to still be working OK. Re the dictionary now have to load via internet in order to use it. 23 March - new update? Anyway, the Online Dictionary app for android is once again working - great!

Not bad I'll give you that, it works fine for me and i like that there are phrases etc... But in some languages you can translate it only to one language its turkish to german for example. I downloaded it to translate to Russian but i had to use english for that. Its like that in Greek too for example. If you improve that this app would be more great. Thaank you anyway, as i said useful one.
