  • Awesome Update

    This app has really helped me learn French. I've been using it almost daily for a few years, and I love the new layout! Definitions, conjugations and expressions all in one place. I really like the simple navigation and easy to read font. Thanks for the beautiful dictionary and awesome update! Great app.

  • A five but for the Bad Icon

    The Collins Ultralingua dictionary content and new user interface overall is great.

    The one major, major minus - They need to bring back more easily identifiable icons. The flags worked really well for quick easy access to the right dictionary. Can barely discern the difference now.

    Also, Do not bother to download the Ultralingua bookshelf. It is just a marketing tool for Ultralingua's benefit not their users'. It forces an extra click to get to the dictionary you need while presenting you with needless commercials and social media options.

  • What happened to landscape mode? Thumbs down!

    I also have the German & Spanish dictionaries from Ultralingua, and can't believe that with this update, the landscape mode is gone from all three. Frankly I'd much rather do without the latest 'improvements' but at least be able to use this on my iPad.

    The worst part about it is that even in portrait mode, when you try to enter any text for search, the keyboard that pops up is in… landscape mode, which blocks the field where you're supposed to enter the text. Thus rendering this app TOTALLY useless.

    Please fix this PRONTO!

  • C'est merveilleux!

    I was using one app for dictionary and a second for verb conjugation and bouncing back and forth. This app had all in one. You can enter conjugated verb and it suggests infinitive. It provides required prepositions for verbs as appropriate. My French homework would be impossible without it!
  • Great French App!

    I was carrying around an old French-English dicitonary around Geneva and France before purchasing this app. I was leery about the price, but it has more than paid for itself in it's ability to quickly look up words and help me learn the language. I have used it for two months now and I'm very happy with it.

  • Awesome app, but lousy update!

    The update for the French-English dictionary adds a neat feature to be able to scroll faster, but it was at the expense of search returns' speed. It takes up to 4 seconds to return a search sometimes now. This is a five star app, but this update was a step backwards. Please fix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I take French at, probably the hardest language course there is, DLI, and I absolutely love this app. It is so much quicker than a regular dictionary, and having the verbs built in is amazing!

  • Excellent Assistant But I Miss The Pop-Up Translations from the Computer Version

    I have been using Ultralingua since our first trip to France in 2006; at that time I was using a version for my Palm Pilot. Later I was tickled to see that it was available for my iPod and that there was also a version for my Mac. When I got an iPad I got Ultralingua for that device as well. It is attractively formatted, easy to use, and is invaluable when traveling in France or when reading in French. I've run into words it doesn't include, but not frequently, and they are usually either old terms, very new slang, or part of a specialized vocabulary.

    The only thing I really miss on the iPad version that the Mac Ultralingua offers is the ability to highlight a French word on the screen and have the translation pop up. That feature is a tremendous help when reading online or when writing; it's a great way to check gender so I get the adjective forms right, or to make sure that I'm using a word correctly. I hope that will be included soon.

  • A real winner!

    I was initially a little dubious about spending $20 for an app and I wasn't convinced it was going to be all that helpful. Boy was I wrong on both accounts. It is a very easy to use, tremendously helpful and valuable addition for learning the language and traveling. I have found it a pleasure to use and it has exceeded my expectations in every way and has not yet let me down in any way. A terrific app.

  • Perfect translation app

    The app is lightening fast. Its dictionary/translation function is probably worth the $20 alone, but the verb conjugator is indispensable. Much faster than any website and leafing through any book.
  • great app

    I am a korean business person, using french and it is great app. I always wanted the dictionary that I can see Conjugaison easily, and this dream came true through this app! Thank you.
    One thing I want more is more explanations for each words and example sentences.

    Great job!
