Pros and cons of Dictionnaire Anglais/Français app for iPhone and iPad
Dictionnaire Anglais/Français app good for
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.
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.
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???
I am an English n French learner,this dic just suits me,très bon!
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.
Thank you Larousse for this Apps, it is excellent like your paper dictionary plus the pronunciation
Some bad moments
I like this app, but I keep getting audio streaming errors;so I cannot use the pronunciation function on my app--please fix.
If youre a word nerd that loves to browse dictionaries, this app isnt for you.
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.
I bought this because it is supposed to speak the words but it says "audio error". Someone fix this, this is horrible when I paid more for this than for any other app.
Its very useful for times when I do not have Internet service. But the main reason I bought this was for the audio which simply does not work.
The sound is not working, and the nobody is fixing it. Also, not the most comprehensive dictionary.
