Not so many words, in fact

Pas assez de mots de "tous les jours".

Nice!

Very thorough and thought out dictionary. Every word in the text is clickable for easy definition lookups, and there are lots of examples of word use as well as all the conjugations imaginable. I only have two things to whine about so far: 1. The buttons for word pronunciation are, IMO, unnecessarily large and clutter up the interface quite a bit. An often used word contains quite a few buttons for listening to audio recordings which makes it all look like endless speaker bubbles floating in a sea of text. Rather hard to focus on the text itself. 2. As the other reviewer mentioned, it would be extremely useful to be able to search for verbs by typing in any one of their forms, and not just the infinitif. As a new French student, I have a tough time with the irregular verbs, and figuring out the infinitif of the verb to search for given a sentence or a text can be quite problematic at times. This would be the best addition I can think of to make this dictionary a truly ideal learning tool, and the only reason Ive given a 4 rather than a 5. Will absolutely vote all 5 if (when right? :D) this feature shows up. Pretty please! Very good job overall though. Quite worth its price.

Amazing and cheap for what you get,

This app is fantastic, it has verb conjugation and everything. AND YOU DONT NEED WIFI! (that is, as long as you dont want the verbal examples). Definitly worth it for the amount youre paying.

Great dictionary!! Very happy with it :)

Audio Problems

I like this app, but I keep getting audio streaming errors;so I cannot use the pronunciation function on my app--please fix.

Cant browse this dictionary

If youre a word nerd that loves to browse dictionaries, this app isnt for you.

Needs Retina Support

Withholding a 5 star rating for the excellent French dictionary app with audio playback and plentiful phrase examples. Just needs to be updated!

Larousse is like industrial standard

Can someone tell me how to set the font larger??? Would the auther make some improvement to this? Please also make the search slot bigger! Are you challenging people with a large fingers???

cool stuff

I am an English n French learner,this dic just suits me,très bon!

Most helpful resource

This is by far the most useful reference / resource for my French learning. The ability to hear pronunciation of the words in French is a tremendous help. I only have two wishes on my wish list: 1) We can only search for verbs in the infinity form. It would be a great enhancement if the dictionary allows us to search for verbs in whichever conjugated form, as I often do not know the infinity of the verbs. For example, I cant find "sois" and would never have guessed its infinity is "être". 2) At present the pronunciation of sentences given in the examples are in the opposite language. So if I search for the meaning of a French word, say, "souhait", I am given the pronunciation of "souhait" in French; but the examples such as "si je pouvais formuler un souhait / If I had one wish" are read in English only. I wish it would read the French sentence. Overall I would still strongly recommend this App.

No Audio

Cant hear any of the audio recordings.

Synonyme antonyme

Plz update with synonyme and antonyme

Love this app! Great reference tool!

This app is great... Very very useful!

Thank you

Thank you Larousse for this Apps, it is excellent like your paper dictionary plus the pronunciation

Worth the price

This dictionary has many example phrases for each word. Within a phrase, you can tap on a word to see its definition. You can use the bookmark feature to create a study list, which can be a surprisingly addictive activity. Shows masculine and feminine forms of each adjective.

Crashes in heavy use

Im am using this during an intensive during the last few months. It has a tenancy to crash a couple of times a week. Also there are times when typing in one letter brings up nothing - this is fixed only after a restart. These are bugs that need to be fixed!

Missing features

Should be able to export/email/share the starred/bookmarked words and their definitions.

Its pretty good

This is a good app although I would recommend offline audio. If it would have offline audio, this app will be #1.

Search does not find verb conjugations!!!

Look up fus, cannot find it. It is passé simple of être. Search cannot find any verb conjugations, just the infinitive. Thats a big problem! Exporting or somehow getting the bookmarked list to my computer would be nice. Aside from that, nice app. Definitions solid, easy to understand interface. But, the search issue mentioned is huge issue. So much so that Ill probably end up using another app as I was looking for a one stop French English app for all my needs. I dont care that fus doesnt show up in search, but it should at least redirect me to être.

Good dictionary but not optimized for retina iPad

This dictionary is not optimized for the retina display iPad. The main launch icon is fuzzy and the audio pronunciation icon is extra fuzzy. Just cosmetics, but if this could be fixed (just change the graphics), I would give it 5 stars instead of 4. This app apparently has not been updated for almost two years (as of August 2012).
