Pros and cons of Dict.SE Swedish - English - Swedish dictionary (lexikon) app for iPhone and iPad
Dict.SE Swedish - English - Swedish dictionary (lexikon) app good for
Has problems when not used in portrait position,which can be annoying during long reads. Besides that, it has a quick clean interface.
I was able to find every single word a searched, not only the root of the word but all the forms and composed words, which in Swedish can be misleading.
Also the explanation is very complex, with all the meanings, including examples. That makes it a lot better than $9.99 Oxford Swe-Eng Doctionary which misses a lot, and other apps I have tried.
Thank you to everyone who put the effort into this app!
it would be better to add to the dictionary function of knowing the words and reminding
Some bad moments
Scrolling back in a list crashes the app on my iPad (iOS 7.1.1). This is a serious bug.
Another problem is that there is no explanation of the phonetic transliteration.
So if you dont know how to pronounce å (for instance), theres no way to find out.
Without the bug, Id rate the app four stars.
Btw, app support is a joke: the contact form has a math captcha which times out in less time needed even for the shortest comment.
The negative: the app no longer rotates from portrait to landscape as it did before so you must continually start in portrait mode the physically turn it to view in landscape. Also you can not contact the author to give him feedback because the "capture" verifier always says your time to leave feedback has expired not allowing you to communicate with him. I also tried linkedin to send him feedback to no avail. If he would fix this problem the app would be truly great again.
