Reverso
An app that shows real example sentences for words and phrases.
What Reverso does
Reverso is a translator and dictionary that shows you how a word or phrase is used in real sentences. Instead of one answer, you see examples side by side and pick the one that fits. It covers about 16 languages, including Spanish and Arabic, and adds flashcards and quizzes for learning.
Reverso is the app for "which word do I actually use here?" Type or say a phrase and you get example sentences in both languages, so you can see the expression in context before you send a text in Spanish or write an email in French.
Words you look up can go into lists, and flashcards and quizzes help you remember them. Your saved lists and search history stay available offline, and it works on Apple Watch too.
It is not a travel tool. There is no camera translation and no full offline mode, and the free version has ads and limits on typing. Pair it with Google Translate for signs and menus, and use Reverso when you care about getting the phrasing right.
