Ultralingua French User Reviews

  • Awesome app!!! Over 10 years of using Ultralingua!!!

    It’s not perfect but I’ve been using the Ultralingua app for over a decade and it’s been VERY reliable. I use this app almost every single day! The phone version could use some updating for a smoother experience because it takes a moment to learn how to navigate the app effectively/efficiently for optimum usage. I still however consider it one of the best tools in my arsenal for language reference and learning. And it’s still one of THE BEST dictionary apps I’ve ever come across. The bottom line is that although it’s a bit pricey, could use an update & requires somewhat of a learning curve, it’s definitely DEFINITELY worth investing in!!!
  • One issue

    I’ve been using this app for years and I like it. But it’s got one major flaw in its verb conjugations. The negative past-tense of pronominal verbs in passé composé are, every one of them, incorrect. "Je ne me suis demandé pas" instead of "Je ne me suis pas demandé" for example.
  • Disappointed

    I’m sure this app has many good features, but I have 2 complaints: 1)I noticed a poor translation in the App Store example. Parler de quelqu’un means to speak about someone NOT something. So I don’t trust their translations. But I bought it for the verb tense translations, only to find that 2)they don’t provide them for the more complicated tenses. For me, this dictionary is superfluous.
  • Very good

    Not perfect but I’ve Been using this app for years and it’s been reliable. The phone version could definitely use some updating for a smother experience because it takes a moment to learn how to navigate the app effectively because there are minor glitches that they still have not fixed on the phone version of the app. It is however worth investing in !!!
  • Best language dictionaries!

    Comprehensive and easily searchable!
  • abandonware

    I really liked the look of these apps when they came out, and I bought the Mac version too because of the hotkey feature to define selected words. But this is abandonware people. They haven't done anything to these in years and there is a bug in the French one that won't change contexts properly when languages are reversed. You've been warned.
  • Wonderful dictionaries!

    I have been using the French, Spanish and Italian dictionaries of Ultralingua almost daily for several years. I speak and teach French and Spanish and am learning Italian and absolutely love having these excellent dictionaries at my fingertips on my ever present i-pod!
  • Indespensible

    I've used this app to help me in reading French novels for years and think its scope and layout are superb.
  • I like my French

    Learning French
  • Learning French

    I like this app because of the examples for conjugations. However, I purchased this app because I thought that there were sentence examples. I am still learning how to use this app. Perhaps, I haven't figured out how to find the examples for sentences.
