This is the first review I have ever done on any product, on any website. However, I believe that this App merits another review, especially because of the above-mentioned negative review regarding the search function.

The reviewer says that the search function is deficient. I disagree. A thorough reading of the help (Ayuda) instructions is necessary. There are five different ways to search. If one search method doesnt provide the results that one wants, there are four more options. Also, the user can search in Portuguese, Portuguese/English, and English/Portuguese, which allows one to cross-reference if there are doubts as to the meaning of the word being searched.

However, it should be noted that the App seems to be designed more for native Portuguese speakers and/or users with a fairly advanced knowledge of Portuguese. The "advanced" search function is for Portuguese only. Also, the App is fairly complicated, not because it is poorly designed but because it does so many things, and does them well. Note also that the help instructions are in Portuguese only, or I have not found them in another language. Therefore, if the user does not understand Portuguese well, he or she may have difficulty understanding the instructions.

I was interested in purchasing the App but hesitated after reading the negative review. After reading the negative review I contacted A&H Software via their website with my concerns and almost immediately received an email reply with a very good explanation of the search methods. For any App, the user is always pleased when the developers are customer oriented and this certainly is the case with A&H.

In conclusion, the Michaelis Moderno Dicionário Português e Inglês is a very comprehensive and complete dictionary and the A&H Software Ltda. App is very well designed and executed. I can highly recommend it.
