Pros and cons of Larousse Spanish Basic app for iPhone and iPad

Larousse Spanish Basic app good for

Very easy to use, nice layout and accurate definitions! I definitely recommend it!
1. I should be able to tap any word in the definitions and examples to instantly look it up. 2. Please support Spain Spanish as well. 3. Add audio pronunciations.

Some bad moments

I type a Spanish word in search field as instructed, click "search" and nothing happens. I have tried so many times but cannot get it to work most of the times. My iPad and ios meet the system requirement. I tried to send email to Larousse asking for help and got no support. While I like the dictionary, its programming does not work most of the time. It is a sacrifice or a waste of $1 that functions consistently like a cheap unreliable product.
Search still does not work as others have described. Theres not excuse for not fixing this.
Great. I am learning Spanish. This dictionary gives excellent examples of the "word" in sentences which helps me understand the meaning of the word. However, what is disappointing is that when it gives the verb conjugation it does not have the "vosotros" from Spain.
After the iOS 8 software upgrade, this App crashes. It wont open at all. Please fix it!
Since upgrading to iOS 8 this app crashes every time I try to open it. Please fix! It is a very handy dictionary when it works.
Please fix it, it crash with ios8 i need it because im at school
