A complete and easy to use dictionary - finally.

First, my level of Spanish so others know how to judge this review: I am US-born Filipino, but I speak Spanish close to fluently - my wife is from Spain, and we go there often. We speak about 30-40% of the time in Spanish while in the US and about 70-80% when in Spain.

This dictionary is excellent for 4 reasons: it is fast, it has a large number of entries, it has an easy user interface, and it has a History button.
1) FAST: The dictionary pops up as quick or just slightly quicker than when you try to load up your SMS. When you look up a word, it appears almost instantly.
2) LARGE number of entries: most of the less common words that are not in your typical intermediate Spanish level can be found in this dictionary. For example, "tabernucho." Ive seen many dictionaries that miss a lot of words, but this dictionary is not one of them.
3) EASY user interface: There is a Back button. But besides that, its simple, no-frills interface is a little Google-esque. This greatly increases the dictionarys utility.
4) HISTORY button - this doesnt seem like that big of a deal, but when you look back at your History, it gives you a chance to review all those words that you didnt know - and re-learn/review them again. Repetition is necessary for memorization, and this is a great learning tool.

Here are the BAD things:
1) Voice button doesnt work: Perhaps Im using it wrong or didnt download the module or something, but when I click on the speaker icon, I dont hear anything. Anyways, I dont need to use this button, and I prefer not to have this feature to save precious memory space on the iPhone.
2) Program hangs (sort of): If I look up too many words too quickly (4-5 in rapid, consecutive sequence), the program seems to hang a bit and not give me the definition. I either have to wait, type another word, or exit/re-enter program to get it to start looking up again.

OVERALL: While this dictionary does not provide conjugations of verbs, many users will not need this feature anyway. The result is a fast, easy to use dictionary with a large number of entries for all but the most advanced users and a surprisingly useful History button.

I leave to Spain in 3 days and Ill be there for about a month. I will drink a cold beer and eat some tapas for you!
