"It is a very easy to use, tremendously helpful and valuable addition for learning the language and traveling. I have found it a pleasure to use and it has exceeded my expectations in every way and has not yet let me down in any way. A terrific app."
"I bought this dictionary in August 2010, and six months later in February 2011 I still use this Ultralingua dictionary daily. I am majoring in French and I find this dictionary very accurate and helpful. $19.99 may seem more than other French dictionaries out there, but this one is great because it doesn't require an Internet connection and it provides thousands of words. I highly recommend this dictionary."

8 of 25I like this app because of the examples for conjugations. However, I purchased this app because I thought that there were sentence examples. I am still learning how to use this app. Perhaps, I haven't figured out how to find the examples for sentences.
Repeatedly crashes. Switching between the dictionary and the the Safari browser seems to do something to damage the dictionary app. Of course switching between the dictionary and other apps is something you do without, so I would not buy this app! A fresh reinstall seems to work OK until I start multasking again, which re-damages the app. It will immediately begin to crash and get progressively worse until it's virtually unusable. I see this app hasn't been updated for a year now. Is it still being supported even? Who knows?
Use it all the time as I read French newspapers or listen to France Info. The UI has improved over the years and is rather attractive. One quibble is that the app icon looks dated and could be improved upon. (Would be easier to find in my apps if it were more distinctive). The language coverage is quite good in French although it lacks certain slang words. I like the favorites feature too.
ultralingua was probably my most used app, the dictionary was great and accurate and the verb conjugator an absolute god send; unfortunately an update (I'll admit some while ago) removed the conjugator and changed the format of the dictionary. The dictionary is still as accurate, but with an interface I still have trouble using after all this time. I'm hoping that they will update the app again and #1 bring back the conjugator (tho changing the dictionary would also be nice). Was definitely worth $20 when I purchased in 2009/10, probably wouldn't purchase for the same price now though.
Très utile. Bien composée. Tous les mots que j'en ai besoin.
Learning French
I've taken this app with me on several trips to France and fine it very handy. It has idioms, verb conjugations, common word combinations in both English and French.
I usually don't write reviews but I had to write one for Ultralingua. I recently moved to a francophone country and this app helps me navigate my intermediate level French in an all-French environment. I would not be able to do my work without it. Terms are super easy to look up and conjugations are super easy to access. I wouldn't ask for anything else of this app!
