Pros and cons of iBabylon app for iPhone and iPad
iBabylon app good for
After the upgrades it seems it works perfectly fine. you should give a try. And also its free
there should be an ability to block certain dictionaries or reference sources so that they do not display on results. for instance if i never want wikipedia to show up i should be able to put it on a block list. or a list that prioritizes which reference results shoe up first.
The collaboration with clipboard works only the first time unless you manually delete the app from working at the background after each use. This feature is mostly why I bought this app. The optimal thing would be "one click" as Babylon desktop software works, which is the best desktop software by far!!!
Better and More Honest Translation of Greek than....most other translators out there, that plug in non-connotative Greek word definitions that render the definition nonsensical. Better to plug in the English word here and there as done in this app, when there is no appropriate direct translation to a connotative language. Bravo!!!!! Ευχαριστο Πολι, Κασσανδρα Πολεμι.
Add languages and sort through a complete resource of trusted online resources. This app rules over Google here!!!
iBabylon is so far one if my favorite dictionary apps, because of its detailed elaborative results and easiness of language selection. Though i wish the following features to be added within the next software update:
- Pronunciation
- Word autocomplete
- Misspell correction "did you mean the word ...?"
- Search history
- iPhone 5 support
Some bad moments
Very good application, but not yet adapted to the iPhone 6 Plus. Impossible to use the text field.
An update is urgently needed and would be greatly appreciated.
I will change the number of stars after the app updated.
Thank for your concern.
It isnt working on iPhone 6s. The interfaces design is really poor! There are many others apps better than this a one...
Total defeat ,thrown money and waste time , the programme is not suitable for Mac devices.
Babylon (paid-for version) will not remember the "from-to" language selections from one session to the next. It is a pain to have to re-select every time. This reduces the usefulness of the product.
Google Translate is free and works better.
Worthless. Translate words no better than Morfix. Its text translation is really worthless. Dont bother.
Somehow iPad app does not rotate.
Feels like unfinished product.
iPhone app seems to be better.
Usually iBabylon iOS app used & searched for
babylon,
babylon dictionary,
babylon ltd.,
and other. So, download free iBabylon .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
