8 of 15Audio for the pronunciation takes three or more clicks to access. I wish there is a dedicated button for the audio of the word so that it is accessible in one click. The sound quality of the audio is not so good, often with the beginning of the word clipped.
This app is really good for learning French. I love how words are broken down by separate meanings, how you can flip between French->English and English->French, all the wonderful examples, and all the compositional phrases!<br/><br/>However, it’s just not a very usable app. It’s not very intuitive flipping between verb conjugations and translations (although on the iPad it is easier because you get a split screen). When searching a word, you can’t make the keyboard go away without actually hitting search (it would be great if you could just browse the results that automatically come up as you type). To get speech features you have to highlight the words and use the iOS option that comes up, which is a pain. It’s just really confusing.<br/><br/>Anyway, for the sake of learning, get the app! They have a ways to go to make it more usable though.
This app is a must. It covers many expressions, idioms and common phrases in both English and French. There are lots of positive points that you can enjoy learning with it. But there is one drawback that somehow gets really disappointing and it’s the audio option in iphone platform that you have to hold the word to let the « speak » option pop up. Instead they can have a simple icon for listening to prononciation just by touching it. Hope it gets done in update.
I looked high and low for a good French dictionary app that was stable, didn’t crash, had good translations, and worked offline. This is the only one I could find that fit the bill. It’s not perfect but I’m happy to pay $15 for something that just works when I need it to.
This is an exceptional bilingual dictionary. Must have.
Excellent, easy to read. Lots of online dictionaries, but this stands out for ease of use and is well worth it
There are too many words I can’t find, they need to increase the number of words. I can find more on the Larousse dictionary that is also much cheaper. For $15, they should have way more words.
Expensive, but excellent product I thought would last me for many years. Little did I know I would have to change computers and Collins would not let me transfer the program to my new one. I cannot ever recommend a product that the publisher will not support. Totally wasted $25...<br/><br/>I provided the order number and the receipt for payment and Ultralingua will not do anything to permit me to re-install. Horrible service!
