REVIEWS: (5 stars) "Best French dictionary ever - In the 30 years that I have been studying and using French I have yet to find a better French-English dictionary, whether in-print, online or an app. This app is totally worth the price." -User review
(5 stars) "Wonderful for an high intermediate reader like me who often needs a clarification but doesn't want to haul around a heavy dictionary. The interface is great because it anticipates the word as you type and if your French spelling is weak - like mine is - it saves a lot of time." -User review

8 of 25Excellentes définitions, exemples nombreux et pertinents, conception intelligente. Un véritable outil de travail ou de loisir, selon l’heure ou le texte à traduire.
Unfortunately, thee app closes every time I try to conjugate a verb. It is a very pricey app that doesn’t work properly. Please fix the bug.
Over promised and under delivered. That’s this app in a nutshell. Lots of different words that I can find in other French-English dictionaries that are not present here. Difficult to navigate. Did I mention it’s convoluted and difficult to navigate?The “hear a word pronounced” feature that they have the gall to list as an in-app feature relies on you highlighting the word and asking iOS to “speak” it back to you. A huge disappointment all-round and definitely not worth the $15 paid.
Great dictionary, but glitchy. If I’m listening to something in French, and I open the dictionary to look something up, the audio stops. I’ve tried everything, it’s an issue with the app itself. Please fix in the next update thanks.
It’s worth it to spend a little money and get this high quality product over the free French to English translators. They have an extensive list of example sentences which is very helpful.
I was a bit confused when I first used this application. However after reading the introduction and the tips and tricks, I have found that this is an absolutely fantastic dictionary. It provides quite a few examples for each entry and is easy to use after just a minute or two.
A pretty amazing dictionary but extremely over-priced. Happy to have it
This is not for easy quick translations that will help you get through the airport. This is a real French dictionary for people who want to learn different forms of speech, conjugations and colloquial expressions. Those things make this app extremely valuable for the serious learner of French.
