Leave a Review Ultralingua French
Upgrade crashes
The new update crashes upon opening. The old one worked just fine. Strangely enough the Spanish-English version 1.3 works for me even though reviews on iTunes of that version say it also won't open. This is a great app when it works, especially verb conjugations. Rating the app with the stars above doesn't work. It would be 5 if the worked. As it is now 0 stars.Show lesspommier75
Waiting for a refresh
I have been using Ultralingua on my Mac for French and German for about 3 years. This app is more than adequate. So I bought the iPhone app for my 3GS and it worked fine. The latest version, updated in late May, crashes on startup. So I am waiting for a refresh.namhoram
Ultralingua versus Collins
Had to go back and install all of my apps that were not backed up, and both the Collins and Ultralingua French apps are up with nearly identical icons. Now i've got both, and I'm out 45$. Great product, but I only need it listed once.
It would be pretty cool if I could get at least the cheaper version refunded. Since it's a publishing house instead of a small company, though, I doubt this is even being read. Show lessfelony_1
Another reason to check each app before using autoupdate
Crash on start with version 1.3. The old version worked fine. Reinstalled the old version and it works fine again. Later tried deleting and redownloading as suggested below and that worked. Not sure why this stuff doesn't show up during testing. Can't say I see any difference in speed as stated in the update notes. It is a good complete dictionary. It sometimes recognizes verb infections and translates them, and other times not. It's well priced for a book but relatively expensive in the app world. It doesn't require an internet connection making it more useful when traveling in Europe.Show lessPalmtree33
Version 1.3 crashes my iPhone.
Title says it all. The German, Italian and Spanish ones do the same. Had to take them out of my Apps directory and off my iPhone and then put back the last version. What a pain. But when it does work, it is great!W_G
Awesome!
Wonderful App. I've been browsing for a great French app for my upcoming move to France. I took 5 years of french and needed app to help refresh my knowledge of verbs and this is simply the BEST out there as far as I am concerned! Worth the money!Frenchie American
French Dictionary Little Help for Beginners
Lack of sound is big negative for beginners hoping to learn French. Less than ideal interface. Remembers words looked up. But easy to delete history with no warning if misplacing fingered selection by a hair. Great dictionary if you can already pronounce French. But appropriate price would be $7, not $20. The over-10MB size means carrier won't allow download on iPhone and can be slow to get over wi-fi.Show lessAppleShooter
Wonderful app!
This application is fantastic! I am a student living in Paris and am often in need of more advanced words than the cheaper translators can offer. This program is really worth every penny. It's easy to use and quite thorough. I've yet to find something it was unable to define. The verb conjugator is a great addition that can be helpful with the occasional oddity. It's a great reference to keep in your pocket, and it's much easier to carry around than the traditional "pocket" dictionary. I would recommend this app to any and everyone!Show lessAlex583
Love it!!
Update: (june 17) love the new 3.0 update that also makes the dictionary do a real time narrowing list of potential words as you type a term. This was only available in the verb conjugation section before and that missing featurein the main dictionary section was my only gripe. Now this app is officially perfect to me. Highly recommended.
This is my most used app after the Todo one. All the other reviews have described the usefulness of this app so i wont say much except that for any college French students like myself or in general, this will be your best investment. The $20 is not expensive!! A good paperback dictionary costs just as much. I know cos i bought for classes. But you find terms and conjugations way more easily and faster than paging through a book.Show lessRisingphoenix360
Road-tested in France
I used this constantly while in France. Just like having an excellent French-English dictionary always at hand, without having to actually carry one. One star missing because we ran across several menu terms unlisted here, but I think that is almost unavoidable. Worth the cost, absolutely.Lobosolo
