Pros and cons of Vox Comprehensive Spanish app for iPhone and iPad

Vox Comprehensive Spanish app good for

This exceeds my expectations. Very easy to use. Definitions give examples of use of the word. For the student of Spanish, this makes the meaning clear without my needing to go to an English translation. The Verb tenses are right there. I am empressed.
Easy to use. This app should be on everyones phone who reads in Spanish. Have a good dictionary for every language you use: this is the one for Spanish.
Exellent aplication, for practics your spanish also if the spanish is your natural language....puedes mejorar tu ortografia valen la pena los $25.00 dlls. Gracias, thanks!!! And good job
The redesign in version 2.3 addresses all of the issues I found disappointing in version 1.5. I still feel I overpaid (I bought this app at $24.99) and it took a while to get these improvements, but they are quite welcome. Here is my original (three-star) review for version 1.5 : The content in this app seems quite good ; Im studying Spanish for the first time and wanted a monolingual dictionary, and it serves the purpose with apparently high-quality content. However, the content was obviously transformed mechanically from some other format, and has lost a bit in the process. Example sentences are not set off from definition text ; formatting bugs cause subheadings to run into their definitions ; clicking the word "hongos" takes you to "honkonguense" instead of "hongo" ; moving back and forth in the history behaves non-intuitively (hitting back three times, then select another head word ; now you must hit back four times to get to the fork in the road) ; word lookup is slower than it needs to be (probably due to the "everything on one virtual scrollable page" idiom) ; the pinch-zoom effect on the headings list is novel but too slow and finicky to be better than just annoying ; and in general the definitions look like a wall of text rather than well-formatted headings and definitions. I use another monolingual dictionary app (for a different language), at a third the price, that has set expectations for me ; this app has fallen far short of those expectations. For the price of this app, I was expecting something much more polished than what I got. It gets three stars because it appears to have very good content, which is still fairly accessible ; but the app itself is poorly conceived and a disappointment at this price. I can hope the developers will be sensitive to these issues, and redeem the good content with a worthier user interface.
This is a great Spanish – Spanish dictionary. I use it all the time to clear up questions I have after looking up a word in my Spanish English dictionary.

Some bad moments
