Latest reviews of Cambridge English Dictionary app for iPhone and iPad

Not really free
Its crap! Its not free! Ive just downloaded and so far Ive searched 4 words and all 4 of them it says its not available on this version, that I have to download the paid full version!
Cambridge English Pronouncing Dictionary
The dictionary shows pronunciation variations in both American and British English using IPA. However, there is only one audio example of each, which makes it no different from other dictionaries.
Very good

A very good app and without those annoying popups about rating stars or other bulls... It does what you expect of it in a fine manner.
