The iPad’s multi-touch interface allows for three interactive ways to search the dictionary:

Verb conjugations are listed right next to the definition or translation, so you find each definition and full conjugation list all in one place. Flick vertically through the tenses, or tap the verb box to jump to the one you need. All standard tenses are included.
