Dictionnaire Anglais/Français App Reviews

Content fine - no sound

I am pleased with the content but the sound does not work at all (iPhone 5, latest OS).

Great so far!

This dictionary is helpful in that all the words I look up are clearly defined, the audio button to hear their pronunciation actually does work and that is really helpful especially since I am still learning French :)

Very Good

Runs smooth. Pronunciations in native tongue is a +. I would suggest allowing users to add words app does not have. Because there was maybe just a couple I did not find. Otherwise, its great. Thank you.

amateur

Well-designed, easy to use, many excellent features. Especially helpful are the conjugations given for the French verbs and several examples using the word that you have looked up so you can see its use in the context of a sentence. Switching from French to English and back again is very easy (and pretty nifty!). Worth the cost!

Fix it Plz

Wouldve been a 5 star! Recently the audio is not working!!! There are plenty other dictionaries out there, the only reason I use this is bcuz of the audio!! Fix it plz.

Decent

Cant look up phrase :( other than that it is decent.

Audio Gone!!

Can you fix the Audio loss please!?? It has disappeared

Audio is working - great app

I bought this app for the audio function and it is now working great.

Can be better.

Did you guys notice that theres a new version of ios and new graphic guidelines?? Have the developers forgotten about this app?? It need new graphics and other things be addressed which I wont mention because it has been mentioned before. The app works and it helps me almost every day, but please, fix this small things. Please update the app.

Very high quality app

Im delighted with my purchase, this is a high quality app, full of useful features, and worth every cent. I just regret all the time I wasted up until now with lesser-quality dictionaries...

Bright vs Dark “a”

Great definitions, etc… but unfortunately the French pronunciations don’t make a distinction between the bright [a] as in “patte” and the dark [ɑ] as in “pâte.” All are listed as bright.

recording (speaker)

recording not working on iPhone 5. this has to do with latest upgrade. please fix audio. Not useful without audio. Very good with it .

Ios 7 update

Ios 7 update and a new design is really needed, great app for learning french!

No Stars Yet

I just installed app on iPhone and iPad (current iOS 7 version - no audio!! Both devices are connected to the internet. Very disappointing and contradicts the apps description of functionality. BTW app support link does not connect.

Fantastic App, With Minor Tweaks

This app is simply fantastic for learners of French, pretty much eliminating paper dictionaries for 99.9% of word look-up situations. Its strengths are (1) comprehensive word coverage (almost never do I encounter an unlisted word); (2) extensive examples of how each word is used in practice (critical to understand context); (3) complete verb conjugations; and perhaps most important: (4) the spoken recordings of the words and the examples. The recordings are really the heart of the product, as French pronunciation rules are confusing and difficult for us Anglophones to master. I was recently in Paris, and found the spoken recordings godsend to reduce the number of blank stares i usually get when trying to work out pronunciation of an unfamiliar word from the printed page. Like other commentators, i have experienced some balkiness. The "autofill" feature in the search bar sometimes dies when i try to search for a reflexive verb (s+infinitive), requiring a compete reboot of the phone (i have an iPhone 5c) to restart it (The dictionary wont work without it). I also experienced complete shut-down of the sound recordings. This was fixed by (1) removing 1000+ pictures from my phone; and (2) re-installing the App. Its possible (1) alone would have done the trick. In any event, its back in operation now so Im happy. Overall, i love this app!

Please fix the audio

Excellent app, except audio has crashed.

Wonderful

Love it. Very thorough, gives examples of usage so you know exactly what the translation is. And a pleasant surprise was that there is a conjugator tool for the verbs! I dont need a second app for verb conjugations!

Better than some competitors but not good for advanced learners

This dictionary appears more complete than some others in its price class (e.g., Ultralingua) and having pronunciations is a plus, but the vocabulary coverage for advanced users is insufficient.

Good quality dictionary but crashes

I used to love this app, but it crashes a lot now. If you have audio problems, its probably because your phone is on mute.

recently become nearly useless.

I have been using this app for well over a year. It worked very well. However as of now (September 29, 2014) it has become nearly worthless. After trying to get definitions for a couple of French words I didnt know, I decided to check whether it was working for very common words. I was unable to get definitions for such words as "ties" or "souvent". I was no more successful when putting trying to get definitions for "very" and "often."
