Oxford Spanish Dictionary

Won't remember the previous language direction; defaults to English to Spanish. Won't look up for the word until one of the given options is selected. It screams "made for telephone screen" which makes sense since it was made for a telephone screen. Feels awkward on a PC. It does have sharper images. It does have better text distribution Don't worry, us old timers will die soon and the world will belong to the thumb-hands people

This is a really, really good reference, but there are a couple of things I would like to see. 1) The ability to set the default to Spanish/English or English/Spanish translation. The default is English Spanish. 2) It has a live tile option, but it doesn't do anything. It would be nice if the live tile would flip through words that you've recently looked up to help with memorization.

The app is clearly designed for a touch screen, so it works very well on a Surface. I am learning Spanish, and this app is an excellent tool to help me learn. It has many, many words that I do not find in most dictionaries. What is even better is that I can type in part of a word, and it will show all of the possible words that start with what I typed. It is a great feature for finding related words (such as regalo and regalar). The app's only downfall is that it will not start unless you have an internet connection. This is difficult because I do not always have one. It doesn't seem to work to start it once and leave it open forever, either. This appears to only be for verification purposes, as it does not need internet to look up words. If I wasn't tethered to the internet, this would easily get 5 stars. UPDATE: The internet-only issue was solved. I had downloaded the trial version, then bought the app afterwards. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and now it works. 5 stars.
