Latest reviews of PONS SpellFlash – the language game for English, Spanish, French, Italian and German app for iPhone and iPad
It has a great dictionary, but if youre just starting out in a language, dont be deceived by its "play and learn" description! It was not designed to teach you anything but definitions to words you already knew. A hint feature in the form of English definitions or similar forms of the word in the native language would make this a 4 star app.
The game is fun, but I agree with the other reviewer that it would be more useful for learning if it provided english translations for all words found.
