Not as good as the iPhone/iPad app

I’ve been using the Ultralingua app on my iPhone & iPad for a while and it generally works well, but I wanted a Portuguese-English dictionary to use on my desktop in parallel with other apps.

First word I looked up was “ter,” the verb meaning “to have.” The dictionary shows the 1st meaning as “to absorb” with other translations listed alphabetically, including the most important translation “to have." The flashcard feature used only the first definition when it created the flashcard. This is not very helpful to the beginner looking to learn the basics.

The iPhone/iPad app lists the most important meanings first, and the obscure ones are listed later.

Bottom line is that I don’t know if I can trust this version to help me translate Portuguese words appropriately as I continue my studies.
