Ratings and reviews

Great dictionary, almost as good as SpanishDict is for Spanish but its lacking audio for pronunciation and for the $7.99 asking price, I would expect to get audio. That's literally the only reason I would hesitate on buying it. Otherwise, aside from some minor functionality issues (a little glitchy and some awkward UI) it is essentially the best you can get for a French dictionary. Though, SpanishDict does all the same for free. If they add audio I would make 4/5 cus the price is weirdly high.

For the most part this app is good. However more than occasionally there are words it doesn't have. And it doesn't find the infinitive for odd verb forms. I have to use another app - a French only dictionary - for those. In addition, the app often doesn't let me type in a word to search. I type but nothing happens. To make it work I have to switch French-to-English to English-to-French and back again. It wastes time and is annoying.

Very very handy little app which has helped supplement existing French reading and look up words to help my daughter learn. Seems odd that it is a free trial and that trial is supported by ads. So it's difficult to see what paid version would be like. edit: I have purchased this app. Because It stores everything on the device it is super quick. Definitely recommend and raising to 5*.
