Latest reviews of Collins English<->Greek Phrasebook & Dictionary with Audio app for iPhone and iPad
The pronunciations are fast and good. I like having the common phrases to use and learn from. There are some common words missing like "appetizers". Since Greeks lives are consumed by food and eating I would think any and all those types of words would be included. I really like the fact that this can be used without an Internet connection. Υια σαs.
For as much as this application costs, it would have been nice for there to be a toggle switch between Greek and Latin letters. This was ridiculously expensive for an app intended to help travelers, but only helps those actually studying Greek.
It used to work very well but now you can no longer see the word you are typing as you are entering it in either English or Greek dictionary.
