Pros and cons of Dictionary Finnish English app for iPhone and iPad

Dictionary Finnish English app good for

I ve been looking for a good Finnish- English-Finnish dictiorary app for so long. This one is great. It lacks sentences in which the words would be used but it s still the best i have found in this Price range. And no other dictionary provides pronunciation. I found this so useful. The text translation And Archives functions are so convenient. This dictionary is excellent. I wish there were just Add a copy-paste function and then it would be outstanding.
There really arent many Finnish-English apps on the market, so my expectations were quite low. Ive tested several, and this one is great. Particularly for a language like Finnish, the search function and translations are in most case spot on. And from English to Finnish, Im mostly able to determine the correct Finnish word relatively easily. Highly recommended!
This app is extremely convenient Im glad to have it on my phone.
This app would be a great deal at 5 times its current price. The dictionary, while a bit limited, contains most of the words I encounter and the entries are comprehensive. The feature I really like is the back button, which lets you review the words youve had to look up for study purposes. Possible improvements would be a bigger vocabulary, identifying the part of speech, and a verb conjugation calculator. I would gladly pay $10 for such an expanded version, so this is 5 stars at its current price.
A very handy pocket dictionary, but, as with all dictionaries, one would like it larger to include the word snd translation sought. There are some rare errors (found on checking on which of several choices is best) but overall, this is a great buy. An update with grammatical forms of verbs would be more than welcome.
I really enjoy how I am able to scroll the dictionary like an open book. You dont have to type in your word. Looking at many words at one time is much easier for me because Finnish has many different endings with the same beginnings; therefor different meanings. Best dictionary that I have used because of its ease.

Some bad moments

Some very common words are missing. My paper pocket dictionary is doing a much better work!
because of an annoying Language Pack ad that covered the app and could not be removed and thus made it unusable several times during a short stay in Helsinki. A pity...
This ap would be nice but its a bit rough. There are many examples of words which show many definitions but not the correct ones at all! For instance, when looking for dog , the results show anything EXCEPT koira.....? Also, there seems to be a bug , at least with iphone 3.1, wherein the ap freezes while trying to browse by scrolling with the alphabet on the side. Please fix it and it will be much better!
I am currently taking an intensive Finnish for beginners class in Helsinki and just wanted a decent dictionary to help me with the words in the textbook. Some of the words I tried looking up were not in the database and others had incorrect translations, according to my Finnish wife. Thats especially bad considering this is a beginners course and all of the words are very basic.
