Very helpfull

Perfect tool. Please add favorites, so one could save the searched words.

NO RUSSIAN KEYBOARD!!!

TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!

Missing something really, really important

The Russian->English side does not include a cyrillic keyboard for searching ... meaning youll have to scroll manually through all 32,000 Russian entries in order to find the word you want.

I like this app

Unlike the slovoed its worth every cent ive paid.

Love it, use it daily

Great program, I use it daily while studying. Those reviewers who complain about the lack of Cyrillic keyboard should learn how to use their iPhones rather than blame the producers of this dictionary. The setting menu will let you set up international keyboards and you can toggle through them with a single tap. I would like to see definitions included with the perfective verbs instead of just providing a reference to the imperfective in order to find the definition. Otherwise an excellent reference.

Falls short. Needs Russian Cyrillic Keyboard. Please

Needs Russian keyboard.

Excellent dictionary!

As another reviewer said, on screen Cyrillic keyboard can be activated directly on the iPhone, it doesnt have anything to do with the application itself just your own settings. I like that this application quickly suggests words and phrases based on your entry. This app also has a more than adequate number of entries in the dictionary (35,000 Russian, 66,500 English) and all are accessible without an internet connection. Excellent and useful app.

Not bad, could use more

This program is pretty good. It has a nice, stable interface, and is very useful. The dictionary has most common words in it, but an update with more would always be nice...

About the keyboard...

Привет! For those of you complaining about the lack of Cyrillic keyboard, there are international keyboards built into the iphone, you just need to turn it on in your system settings!!! Видищ? Just got this app. So far seems to be very comprehensive! I look forward to improving my Russian.

Decent dictionary, could be better.

If the developers made the font size a little bigger and changed it to sans-serif, it would have looked better. Other than that, its a good little dictionary.

Not That Good

Already 6 months but no update at all. WTF? You know dictionaries are never complete. So keep on updating because people keeps on buying!

Best out there, but not perfect

This is the best Russian-English dictionary app on the iPhone Ive seen so far. It would be near perfect if it would show accents on Russian words. All good paper dictionaries do this (Oxford, etc.). Russian is phonetic but the stress can be unpredictable, so it would be nice if accent marks were included.

Major Bug: No keyboard switching in english dictionary

This really needs to be fixed. If I was using the cyrillic keyboard and then switch to the English-Russian dictionary I am stuck with the cyrillic input. No way to switch in the English-Russian mode. I have to go back to the Russian-English frame to switch the keyboard. Extremely annoying.

Its pretty good

its a shame

This dictionary is the worst app Ive seen. Every other russian word is missing. The internation keyboard switch works only in Russina-English mode and if you switch to russian keyboard layout and then go back to English-Russian - theres no switch available!!! I would give this app less than one star but this option is not available either.

Generally good , but no stress marks in Russian words.

Designed for Russian speakers, not for English ones. It explains English words to Russians rather than the reverse. Stress is not indicated in any Russian words - this is sorely needed if you are learning Russian.

Landscape keyboard layout, please!

Otherwise its great, so far! Its just a pain typing on that unnecessarily narrow keyboard.

Very pity

On OS 3,0 do not work switch between lang. Update needed!!!

The best English - Russian dictionary

It is the best English - Russian dictionary available for iPhone. Cheap, easy-to-use and very comprehensive. Perfect for Russian classes or trips to Russia. PS I dont have any problems with keyboard switching. Looks like the bug is fixed.

practical application

While certainly a comprehensive work it appears to be most useful for russinan speakers as phonetic pronunciations appear only when translating from russian to english. english to russian entries yield only solutions in ceryillic alphabet and no pronunciation to assist an english speakers.
