Pros and cons of Collins French Dictionary app for iPhone and iPad

Collins French Dictionary app good for

Great dictionary!Thanks. But i believe theres no grammar part in this app.
I use this in French class and it comes in handy! Cuts down time it takes to look up words... Therefore priceless.
It needs an speech option (maybe this option has to be online) for pronunciation and also more examples. But generally is a good one. I like it.

Some bad moments

I have iPhone 4 and this app crashes everytime . It does not even launch.
This app just has phonetic pronunciation And a little examples. And is very different from advertisement I feel tricked after buying..
While this program translates the word requested, it does not give examples of different usages of the words, or, really, any elaboration at all. You expect this from a good dictionary like Collins. Its very bare bones.
If you want a dictionary for phonetic alphabet transcription, skip this one. Some of the ipa characters come through as question marks.
The new quiz (flash cards) doesnt work with your bookmarked words. Useless...
