Latest reviews of Dictionary Russian - English CONCISE by PONS app for iPhone and iPad
FOR: English Speakers Interface4**** Dictionary4**** Could do with out the dictionaries button pushing you to buy more, but a nice little dictionary with ONE feature that shines above the rest Verb Declensions. If for no other reason if you are studying English or russian this is the one to get or any apparently by paragon software.
I effectively wasted my money purchasing this app, as practically none of the Russian entries have the audio pronunciation feature. For an English speaker learning Russian, the audio component is essential. I ended up cutting my losses and buying the SlovoEd Russian dictionary, whose audio is fully functioning in both Russian and English. This is hands down the superior dictionary.
