Collins French-English

At this price, I expect something better than this. Without audio assistance for pronunciation is a great flaw. Not recommend.

This is quite useful, and for 17.00 bucks it’s not cheap either. I purchased an electronic dictionary precisely because I want to hear the word. However, it always quit when I highlight the word and select “speak”. I tried on both my phone and my iPad. Just does not work. Very frustrating.

I thoroughly enjoy using this excellent French Language Dictionary!

Le plus souvent je trouve une bonne traduction sauf pour les mots un peu ésotériques, j’attendrais mieux d’une dictionnaire comme le Robert.

Yes there are a bunch of free translator apps and online dictionaries, and this one is neither free nor cheap, but it’s worth every penny. It’s very easy to use, and the information provided for every word is comprehensive, usually with sentences provided to show how the word works. This is especially useful for figures of speech or word usages that don’t directly translate. For example, you may “practice” piano in English but you “work” piano in French. The listing for practice explains that sort of thing. It also has complete conjugation tables for every verb, which are provided directly after the definition(s). I love this app!

Great dictionary but the omission of audible pronunciations -- when every cheap dictionary is able to provide it -- is an egregious oversight and a nuisance for the user because they have to go to a second app for this purpose.

This is a competent, professional attempt to put a highly sophisticated language into the palm of your hand. Collins is a very good company, and is much helped here by the small vocabulary of French (compared to the unwieldy empire of English). Of course it’s not enough. Secondary meanings are skimped, old forms are not much given, rare words become rarer here. This app will do much more than let you say “Ung cafe seel voo play.” It will certainly let you talk to persons other than Mademoiselle D’Armentieres. It is fine for office and ordinary letters. If you want to read Racine, the Medieval romances and Bossuet you need a big paper dictionary. Oxford or Larousse, probably

I bought this app for the IPA pronunciation, but the character that indicates nasalization (the squiggly Tilda) doesn’t line up with the nasalize vowels, and other times they fall even outside the word. Do these people understand the meaning of quality control? If not, they can look it up in their own dictionary.

I love this dictionary so much! I have resisted buying a dictionary app for years, but now I’m kicking myself for waiting so long. You have a wealth of definitions at your hand as well as full verb conjugations. You can enter a conjugated verb and it will tell you the verb it’s conjugated from. There have been some words not in here, but so far, very few. Buy this thing; you won’t regret it!

This is honestly the best French-English dictionary app you could buy! Worth every penny and then some. An excellent, very well thought out user interface makes using this app easy and facilitates learning. Tap on any word to go to it’s definition. Tap and hold on any word to speak it’s pronunciation. Tap on any verb to go to it’s conjugation. Multiple usage examples. Easy to use verb conjugation tables. I highly recommend this app.
