Pros and cons of gogoNavi Lite Japanese-English app for iPhone and iPad

gogoNavi Lite Japanese-English app good for

This is a very good dictionary. You can find a complete list of words and meanings! Very useful for me, as a Japanese language student. Super recommended!
Everything I need with funny but understandable examples. Free version is totally enough, advertisements dont disturb in any way!
One can convert hiragana to kanji while searching, so unknown kanji combinations can be found even through one or two known kanji. It lists words that use the queried kanji as the user is searching, which is a great help. Example sentences abound, and pronunciation, both spoken and in furigana, are provided. AND its free!
チョコっと見えるので大変便利 Very convenient,thank you
Its free, offline, and has a large collection of words. The common words come with useful example sentences. You can also add words to lists so you can check them again later. The only thing I dont like is the ad banner, but I would pay to get rid of it.
Wide vocabulary scope. Gives current usage of words with plenty of examples. The fifth star when a kanji section will be available.

Some bad moments

I looked up meaning of hilarious, but there is no result for it. Its not useful.
