Pros and cons of Ultralingua French-Spanish app for iPhone and iPad

Ultralingua French-Spanish app good for

I have been using this app in my Mac and in PDA versions since it came out. I feel it is very complete and only on rare occasions has it come up short for a definition. It is very easy to use and keeps getting better with each version. It will never take the place of a large bound dictionary or the Bescherelle, but hey... try carrying those around with you all the time.
I updated the version because i own now an iPad. Let me tell you that is works perfectly, and the enhancements are awesome. The iPhone version is pretty much the same.

Some bad moments

A proverb says tha the best is the enemy of the good. I think that it is what happened with the Ultralingua dictionnaries (I have three of them), they are surely not more useful than the previous version! And before I could chose the right one instantly by looking at the flag on their respective icon. Now I need to put on my reading glasses to read the barely readable text on the icon!
