Latest reviews of Collins English<>Russian app for iPhone and iPad
Interface and processes are fine as always with Collins, however I was not satisfied with a product bought. Words even from really basic vocabulary are missing. Normally I find only every 4th word Im looking for. For $10 vocabulary could be bigger. Also there are almost no synonyms in translation.
No Cyrilic keyboard option. kinda hard to look up a Russian word if I cant type it, so it isnt a great Russian-English dictionary and shouldnt be titled as such.
