Hidden commands

I can’t figure out how to find a word or change the word on display
. Not a friendly program.

No publisher support...no recommendation

Expensive, but excellent product I thought would last me for many years. Little did I know I would have to change computers and Collins would not let me transfer the program to my new one. I cannot ever recommend a product that the publisher will not support. Totally wasted $25...

I provided the order number and the receipt for payment and Ultralingua will not do anything to permit me to re-install. Horrible service!

Mots et explications manquent

Je ne trouve pas la traduction en français de « coldest » indiqué sur le contrôle de température de mon réfrigérateur et congélateur. Et je ne trouve pas non plus les définitions des suffixes -est, -er, -ness, -les et autres, ce qui m’aiderait. De plus, aucune explication quant à l’ajout d’un « s » aux verbes anglais à la troisième personne du singulier ou pluriel…..? un minimum de grammaire expliquée serait nécessaire pour le prix !!!

Collins dictionary

I love this dictionary. It is very handy when I’m reading my French novels …so fast! i’ve used it for years now and wouldn’t be without it. TV

Pas à jour

Il n’est pas à jour. Par exemple, je cherche le mot VAPOTER, il n’y est pas. Ce n’est qu’un exemple parmi d’autres.

Dictionary French-English&English-French

Thank you so much for this essential tool when you read newspaper, magazine and books.

The pronunciation audio is bad

Audio for the pronunciation takes three or more clicks to access. I wish there is a dedicated button for the audio of the word so that it is accessible in one click. The sound quality of the audio is not so good, often with the beginning of the word clipped.

Easy to Use and Very Helpful

I use it all the time for school and emails. It works great.

Too many less common French words omitted from this dictionary!

Disappointing

A too concise dictionary really only suitable for beginners to intermediates. Too many words missing—for which you have to go to the free Reverso website. Also hard to get out of the verbs and back to the main dictionary.
