An excellent app BUT
This is the best online dictionary I have ever used but after years of usage it has become full of glitches that I can’t fix by deleting and reloading the app. Have written to Word Reference but got no reply…….
My most reliable dictionary
I’ve been speaking French and English daily for the past 35 years.
WordReference has been the most reliable translation tool I turn to when memory fails.
I’m translating a book I have written in English at my own pace, because it requires thought to come up with the exact phrasing to convey English to French.

One of the best dic.
I use this app every day!
I didn’t realize how important Word Reference was to me until it somehow disappeared from my phone this morning. (I just reinstalled it.) I study Italian on Duolingo and find this app incredibly helpful hoth for finding definitions and for seeing how the word is used with the examples it gives. I can easily switch from English-Italian to Italian-English, and I have many other language dictionaries at my fingertips.
It is also my go-to for English, whether I need a definition or a synonym. Word Reference is the best overall dictionary app I have found. I can’t live without it! Thanks to the developers for doing such a great job.

Phenomenal app
This app is truly exceptional, and an excellent tool for beginners through advanced students. The creators understand the nuances of language (I can only speak to Italian), offer almost all the possible uses, and providing a complete conjugation of the verbs is also extremely useful. Well done!
Word Reference is great, their app is just ok
I love Word Reference as a platform, but their app is a bit lacking. TL;DR - they need to add a share feature and the ability to navigate back and forth between word listings and related forum links.
There's no working "back" button to use when you click on a forum link from a word listing and want to return to the listing - you need to search for the word again and scroll back down to the bottom of the listing. It's tedious and clunky.
There's also no "share" option to send word listings or forum posts. The only way I've found to do this is to use a web browser instead.
For quickly translating a word the Word Reference app is fine, and their depth of technical terms and specialized vocabulary for translation is unmatched in my experience. But any time I want to read multiple forum listings for a word, or share anything with someone else I just use my web browser instead, which totally defeats the purpose of having the app.

Only one complaint
I’ve been using this app for years and it is my go-to for translations. One complaint though. If I want to “star” a word, it’s hard to tell if it’s starred or not because when you hit the star, it turns yellow and is barely discernible. Could you please make it red or something more distinct? Thank you!

Best dictionary
I love this app! I’ve been using since I first start learning English as a second language. Easy, practical and doesn’t take much space of your phone
Great App
I have used this app for many years. Accurate, thorough, multiple definitions. It’s VERY handy.
