Pros and cons of Dictionary Swedish English app for iPhone and iPad

Dictionary Swedish English app good for

Very good eng-swe swe-eng dictionary (probably the best offline app of its kind out there) but still lacks a lot of words and could of course work on other obvious improvements (how about a pronunciation helper?)
If this dictionary contains of phonetic alphabet, its impeccable :)
Most bueno excellente. None of those are in The Swe Dictionary. Nor should they be. But its coming in handy in the streets here in Stockholm. Just need to expand the vocab. I note many words in DN and SvD not in the app. Keep em coming.
This app serves as both a dictionary and a study list. Very readable and helpful

Some bad moments

Pros: Lots of words and offline. Cons: It has the Swedish alphabet wrong, putting ä with a and ö with o. It doesnt even have å they are all the letter a and their definition for åka (aka in their word list) has terms my Swedish wife says would never be right.
Terrible translator, for example: ung is listed as a synnonym for oven - it means young. One of many incorrect entries.
As a Swede I see a lot of problems if it is used by a non-swede. Some translations are correct while the next word is totally wrong. I got it to use as reference, but ... I think this was compiled by a non Swedish speaking person.
Apparently many entries are simply wrong. For example the English word "confused" translates to "generad" and "simma." "Generad" in Swedish means "embarrassed" in English and "simma" in Swedish means "to swim" in English. So neither of these is correct. There are countless other entries with bogus translations. Im from the US but I live in Sweden and have need for an accurate English-Swedish dictionary. My experience using Swedish English Dictionary & Translator from BitKnights LLC is that of a poor if not completely inaccurate translation more often than not. Complicating matters, even the Å, Ä, and Ö are not in correct order in the alphabet, making it difficult to find words when browsing. Ridiculous!
Its definitely not my first choice for a translator, but when my other apps dont list a word, this one often does. The ability to hear the spoken pronunciation is helpful.
Pros: -Does some translation -integration with Google and Bing translate -pretty -using 3D Touch well Cons: -over priced -have to pay two more dollars for voices (for pronunciation of words and translations) -voices are computer generated -searching for plural forms of a Swedish word or how to say something like "the cat" isnt possible in the dictionary -using the camera to look up the word doesnt work because terrible image to text processing
