1) It does not follow the spelling reform that went into effect in 2009 (not surprising since it was published in 2007). Hence, it lists non-standard words such as acção, actividade, and óptimo.
2) It is useless as a dictionary. Many words have multiple meanings, sometimes corresponding to different parts of speech, but only one sample sentence is given. If you want to really understand how to use a particular word, this book is not thorough enough to help you.
