Pros and cons of Italian <-> English Slovoed Classic talking dictionary app for iPhone and iPad

Italian <-> English Slovoed Classic talking dictionary app good for

Needs more audio but has a lot. Hope to see updates in the future.
As a self taught learner of the Italian language, I find this dual dictionary a great aid to expanding my vocabulary. The ability to select words to add to a "flash card" category which can be used as a flashcard quiz makes for customizable fun. Worth every penny.
I was prompted to upgrade my iPhone software to the next version. Suddenly, this expensive application will not sync. I followed all the recommended procedures, including restoring my phone "as new", per the recommendation of the iTunes Support Tech. This was a painful waste of time as, not only did this procedure not solve the problem but, I was forced to redo ALL my custom settings.Finally, iTunes advised me that situation is a hazard of purchasing applications - the Terms and Conditions explain that iTunes is not responsible. They directed me to take up the matter with the developer. Paragon Technologies GmbH has been utterly unresponsive.
This is the best dictionary I could find for Italian that includes audio. So theres no need for a network connection if you use this in Europe. The app is slick and well–designed.
