English / French dictionary

I’ve used this dictionary with pleasure for several years. In the last few months, I’ve been unable to look up reflexive verbs with an initial vowel—- type in s’ followed by the verb gets a not found message. Se plus vowel still works. As of today, tapping the pronunciation icon causes the ap to close. The ap is updated. These problems undercut the usefulness of the dictionary

I love this dictionary and use it everyday. It has a ton of idioms and expressions that are super useful and mostly accurate. I have some French friends who disagree with the meanings of certain phrases but that’s to be expected. Overall a great dictionary. My main caveat with it and why I only give it four stars: I have a lot of trouble searching for verbs that begin with “se” or “s’”. For whatever reason the app sometimes (most times) refuses to allow me to search for verbs like that. It will say there are no results. I’ve tried restarting and reinstalling and it never seems to work. The search function works great otherwise and I have absolutely no other issues when searching for verbs that aren’t prenominal. I would love for this feature to be more reliable since a verb that takes an “se” or “s’” in front of it often has a different meaning than the root verb and I can’t search to confirm it.

I've tried most of the other dictionaries on the app store (even the really expensive overpriced ones) and this one is far and beyond my favorite! Being able to "favorite" words is a gem and a feature many of the other dictionaries fail to implement (or implement poorly). I love the inclusion of common expressions - it makes it really easy to find which usage of a word you're really looking for. Also love the fact that this is a universal app - and for $6 this app is a steal!! Anyone considering some of the other dictionary apps out there - don't. This is it (trust me, I've tried them all).

If you translate from English to French you get only English grammar. You have to then copy the French word and reverse the search to get the French conjugation. Lack of imagination on the developer's part. This problem is worse. A search for a conjugated form of a French word comes up empty. It's like if you typed to an English dictionary 'goes' and got no result. You have to know the 'infinitif' form of a French verb, which makes translating very difficult. That's laziness on the developer's part.

I really like this app and have enjoyed using to to learn french. For the last two days every time I try to have it pronounce a word the app crashes. It is still useful as a dictionary for sure but kind of wasteful to use so much space on my phone with sound files that don’t work. Please fix this problem. (Yes I’m on the most up to date version, but it wasn’t with a version update that it stopped working) :(
