JACKWEB  "Can I bum an apple?" (from screenshot)

...oh dear. This app needs some serious polishing up to be taken seriously. :/

FEMIGH  Seems OK for what it does, especially for idiomatic expressions, but the dictionary is missing some basic functionality. For one thing, the it fails in a basic aspect - identifying the gender of nouns in Italian, making it unreliable for using the proper article with the noun. Another thing missing is the ability to conjugate verbs as one looks them up. Forgiveable in a paper dictionary, but I think essential in electronic form. The Language Assistant series (French, German, Italian and Spanish versions) used to do this for Mac OS9, with a very small disk footprint (each language app came on ONE floppy disk). Whoever acquired the series did not translate the conjugation feature into Mac OS X, or any other OS of which I am aware.

PAUL  Many instances of extremely poor English spelling or grammar. For example: "She axed for more money."
