Ratings and reviews

It's free, no adds, works great, lots of features, seems to be based on (French) Wictionaire or Wikitionary so very complete, nice features, conjugates, pronuncation including speaking the words, and customizations, just works. Seems vastly underated should be at least a 4.8 on average, maybe higher. I think it even works offline but haven't tested that. Get it, use it, see if it isn't one of the best. (Linguee is good too.)

Great app, with all the definitions you could possibly need. Never crashes. I have the English and Spanish versions also and can go back and forth between them as needed. Handy for travel and reading books and newspapers in the target language. Just wish there was a version you could use on an iphone or iPad. Highly recommend.

Great app, I've been using it for eight years. Best dictionary on the play store. Kudos and thanks!
