Pros and cons of Portuguese Essentials app for iPhone and iPad

Portuguese Essentials app good for

Loved the trucated free version, and would buy the full version if they only made one for European Portuguese. Guys, theres a difference.
Hi i am such a critic but i actually like this app. It doesnt give you alot of words to study for but ita. Okay it isnt called essentials for nothing.
This was really helpful to learn the 126 or whatever words included in the app. Ive learned them and want more! Its a funny selection. I can say "typhoon" but not "friend" or "sidewalk"
Everything is awesome but since I am bilingual I speak Spanish and English fluently, and was planing on learning Portuguese. This app should also have Spanish to Portuguese. Please consider this when you update it! :D Thanks!
I have several of your language apps installed on my iPhone, but cant tell the difference between them because the icon name just says "Essentials". It would be great to have the name of the language as the small icon name so that users dont have to guess or reposition apps to keep them straight. Great apps though!!!
I listened to a sample. It seems like a very good system, however, I think it is Brazilian Portuguese. I am interested in the European Portuguese. Is there one available?

Some bad moments

I just installed an update and the option to write phrases in English and then read them translated in Portuguese are gone. I have no use for this app any longer without the translator.
Seriously, who chose these 132 words. So Im learning Portuguese; how often am I going to use million or even black? Elisabeth Smiths Last Minute Portuguese is much better. Her 50 words are just what one needs to start.
Agree with other critic, WHO CAME OUT with those words have no clues how to teach language. Give us USEFULL words and example to start not weird words a even use I english. Not for beginner, just a bunch of random words without a method. Not recommended.
The app would actually be great for learning words if it had more than just 132 of them. Add a couple thousand and it would be perfect for learning vocabulary. Its just too limited to be worth it.
Audio test should voice both English & Port words & test pronunciation???
I keen on learning different languages and for me I dont like just reading text and hear audio. It will be nice if the flash cards got some colorful pictures for visual excitment or more interaction activity.Plus, it will be great if providing more learning material related to daily base,instead of single vocabulary however appearantly this software does not..:-(
