Latest reviews of Collins Mini Gem Arabic-English & English-Arabic Dictionary app for iPhone and iPad
No instructions and not intuitive. Can not increase size of font in definitions and Arabic typeset is almost too small to read. History annoying. Bookmarks irking. Pity, because it has potential.
Not helpful for Arabic native speakers.
The dictionary is not bad but the words are not enough many words should be added immediately
This is my revised review: wasted 5$ The Translate app (free) from Google is far better. 90% of the words I needed were not in the Gem app. Update and improve please!
