Latin Dictionary is the Lewis and Short lexicon on the ancient language of Latin. It was first published in 1879 and it`s been in the public domain for ages and yet it remains the standard ...
This is a very serious dictionary for serious lovers of the Latin language The number and depth of the entries is amazing The interface is bare bone Formrecognition would be great but is not offered However the search as you type interface makes it possible to look for words quite efficiently I love all the quotes and phrases given for each entry Whats kind of missing is a page with explanations for the abbreviations Overall this dictionary is a terrific value and I am really happy thar I bought it                 A serious dictionary
The astonishing thing about this app is that it actually costs more than the Lexidium app which presents exactly the same content but with much better formatting and several useful features this app lacks such as bookmarks and and the excellent parser for inflected forms I dont mean to beat up on this app perhaps the next update will leapfrog Lexidium but at the time Im writing this review at least it is very barebones and is completely outclassed by Lexidium        Much inferior to Lexidium
This app is as good as the authors Greek lexicon app if not better The first thing I noticed with this app was that the GUI looks more iPhone standard in comparison with the Greek lexiconI imagine this is due to the Latin characters being standard while the Greek characters are not Still as with the other app Id like to see a splash screen on boot as well as an intro page and instructional page with an abbreviation guide Also on both apps the app names are too long to fit under their icons Calling them something like Greek Lex and Latin Dic would solve that and would look better than Greekicon and the like In any case this is well worth the 2 dollars its going for now and will still be worth it when the price goes up Buy it now                 Another Homerun
I have both Lewis Short Dictionary apps on the store This ones slower and more unresponsive and it is more expensive The content seems the same however           Slow on iPod
The 1 and 2 starrers just dont understand that this is the Lewis and Short edition of the Latin language Its not supposed to have English to Latin It assumes you know your conjugations The definitions and full and detailed with much additional information helpful to philologists If youre a high school student who does not understand with LS is just get a paperback dictionary and carry it around in your back pocket                 They just dont get it
One star unless you add English to Latin Otherwise it is useless to me    
I really had high hopes 2 bucks seemed too cheap and it was Buy the 5 dollar one Not enough words WAY too long defenition if its even in there Complete epic fail Lost 2 dollars        Uugghh
Worst app Ive found so far Dont buy if youre a law student Most words I searched for werent available     Terrible
This is a good app but it needs a rotating view to make typing easier              good
While typing an entry the dictionary starts searching for a worda would be useful feature Yet the search takes a long time and freezes up so you cannot finish typing your entry More annoying is when I use the back arrow and it freezes to search Its too slow to be useful to me SPQR has one for same price that is faster w same features plus it rotates for easy typing        A good dictionary but its too slow
For the price its a good value              Good
Very poor experience with this app Waste of my money     Disappointed
The dictionary itself is great I love the ability to read Latin onthego without having to carry an additional dictionary However the UI doesnt draw me in There should definitely be a cover page I was surprised the first time I opened the page and it was a nearly blank screen It doesnt seem like a lot of thought went into making it feel accessible As to the reveiwer who couldnt look up verbs as in all Latin and Greek dictionaries the verb form you need to look up is the first person present tense For example video not videre I personally like all the information provided It is a true dictionary to be used by people who read Latin not just for people with a curiosity about the language Decent job I would just like to have a better interface           needs some work
This is the Lewis Short Latin dictionary which has been the standard LatinEnglish dictionary for generations It is by far the biggest most complete Latin dictionary that Ive seen available for iPhone The app is simple to use and the text is easy to read Use the iPhoneiPod Settings button to adjust the text size The LS often includes the corresponding Greek term in its definitions unfortunately the Greek is printed in betacode that is in Roman letters At first I could not figure out how to scroll through the list of words but its a simple matter of pressing the Search key This is a great app at a fantastic price Latin lovers even serious students and scholars will be wellpleased                 The biggest Latin dictionary at the smallest price
Lewis and Short is a standard Latin lexicon from the end of the 19th century I have the print form at home but it is massive Now I can bring it with me wherever I go Keep in mind that this is a scholarly dictionary not a glossary The entries are thorough and give example quotations and citations I am surprised some people say it did not have the words they needed It has I think every word in classical Latin and many from ecclesiastcal and medieval Latin too The complainers probably looked up the word in its inflected form and were socked not to be able to find say erroribus Only flaw is that the Greek text in etymologies does not display properly              Excellent App
First it has a bunch of junk in the definition if the definition is even there Second lots of the words I look up are there but dont have a definition It gives the partofspeech but doesnt give the English meaning Third you cant look up the infinitive of any verb and I dont see a way to find a verb definition at all I just wasted 2 bux              Not very helpful
Was a great app Now I cant get the keyboard to activate so all it does Id take up space Caveat emptor     Worthless on iPhone 6 New iOS
Compiling this program from the Lewis and Short now in the public domain was a fantastic idea and the tool is instantly and definitely worth it I am a professional classicist and already wouldnt want to be parted from it There are some problems in the design of the program For instance it narrows down possible matches after each keystrokeuseful for browsing or if one isnt sure of a root but the small keyboardgumming delays after each stroke really diminish the pleasure of using the program This could be easily fixed without losing browsing functionality by only searching incomplete strings on command for instance robig to browse the possible entries related to robigine Broken Greek display and lack of a homescreen make this application feel cheap and hacked together Its worth the money by every meansbut it would be nice to see this venerable lexicon treated with more respect              A marvelous tool badly crafted
Why the hell doesnt this app work I type something in press Search AND NOTHING HAPPENS
