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

Ok mais peut mieux faire

Je l’utilise depuis 5 ans. Pas de problèmes majeurs à signaler, fait le job. Cependant je donne 3 étoiles. Pourquoi ? Il faudrait plus de mots et des définitions plus complètes. Je cherche régulièrement des mots et il n’y sont pas. En cinq ans on ne peu pas dire qu’il y a eu de grandes améliorations. À améliorer donc.

Mise à jour ?

Aucune mise à jour depuis 1 an ... ?

Ok

Ayant que quelques semaines d'usage, je ne peux pas me prononcer sur la qualité du dictionnaire. J'ai presque toujours trouvé la traduction recherchée ( sauf certains mots rencontrés sur les sites de news -bbc, bloomberg-...) Le prix est conséquent par rapport à la concurrence, j'espère que ça le vaut. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas un correcteur d'orthographe, j'en demande peut-être trop là. L'application fonctionne très bien. 4 étoiles pour le prix, mais allez-y, c'est un bon produit.

Problème

Le programme ne fonctionne plus sur iPhone 4 depuis la dernière mise à jour ! Plus moyen de taper du texte ou d'utiliser les touches !!!!!

Very good, but expensive

Satisfies all my needs, but it's also very expensive. For this money you would expect that it has at least spoken pronunciations and an iPad version, which it doesn't

MichelB

Je regrette l'ancienne interface du Collins. Les mises en situation sont beaucoup moins claires et semblent moins variėes! L'index alphabétique est nul. Bref, cher pour ce que c est.

Sommaire, incomplet, bien trop cher

Vraiment basique. Si vous ne savez pas l'anglais, c'est bien. Sinon, ce dico ne vous aide pas beaucoup. Produit HORRIBLEMENT cher par rapport à la concurrence et à ses capacités. Le plus: une belle interface claire. A améliorer: relativement rapide sur iPhone 4 mais pourrait faire mieux.
