Grand Dictionnaire anglais-français Larousse

Must have app for non native speaker Larousse absolutely must fix playback though! I routinely tap icon at the left of word 2-3 times to finally hear very much needed pronunciation (either on LTE or on wifi)

Some of the audio files are missing from the server.

Excellent content, but there is a problem with Larousse's server: many pronunciation files are missing, so you get constant error messages while using the app. This should be fixed. Otherwise, people are probably better off buying the cheaper Larousse English/French dictionary, because the content is very similar and you get many more pronunciations. Also, in the next version please add full-text search and the ability to add notes to bookmarks.

This is the best French dictionary app by far that I have used as concerns the content. The entries have helpful examples nicely laid out by semantic function. Please, please update this app to run smoothly on the latest OS!

DO NOT BUY ! The majority of pronunciations do not work, the app is not optimized for IOS13, and crashes often. Disappointed Larousse charges so much for this app and will not fix these issues after years. Instead use wordreference. It is free and has much better translations. Use Google translate if you need quick offline translations.

I have been using this dictionary for close to three years and can say that is indispensable for non native speakers who want to communicate at a high level. Unfortunately, I think that some issues with the audio feature is causing people to ignore all the utility of this app. To be clear, I am am fluent in French, living in Francophone Africa and providing medical care in that context. However, being a non native speaker I still frequently encounter words I don’t know (going to a hardware store, for example) or come upon times where the nuance of a word/phrase is very important. That’s where this dictionary is helpful because it not only gives the French-English translation but also gives the different translation in various contexts. For example the word “nut” can mean a food, a piece of hardware, or my crazy neighbor, each of which will have a different French word for translation. This dictionary will give you all translations. Additionally, we sometimes have specific phrases using said word that aren’t straightforward to translate, like “He’s a fitness nut.” This dictionary usually gives you an equivalent phrase. In reverse, it will give you the many different contexts/translations of a French words and often includes common idioms under a given word with their non literal translation. A language beginner may not appreciate all the information here, because at that level one only needs basic translations and speaks in a more limited context. However with time one finds themselves coming across a whole variety of contexts that require a tool to understand the breadth of the French language. As someone who picked up this app towards the beginning of French studies and now has to use French for daily life tasks as well as in academic contexts, I cannot more highly recommend this app.

Ça fait un an que l’on se fait impatient. Veuillez aider!

When I want to know how to say something in French, I want to type in the English word have the app provide the French word and the pronunciation. There is a button for this, but tapping it results in a “network” error.” I deleted the app and reinstalled but am still only able to get the English pronunciation when I type in an English word, and that is not what I need.

I would like to hear the French pronunciation of words but only get an error message. No setting provides a download of a sound file or any other remedy.

I bought this expensive app because I saw that it had a sound pronunciation feature. However, when you click on the speaker icons, either nothing happens or an error message pops up. I haven’t gotten the pronunciation sound feature to work even one time. I want my $9.99 back.
