Excellent; needs updating for iOS9
This is an excellent dictionary. However, with iOS9 the audio no longer works.
PLEASE UPDATE FOR IOS9 AND GET AUDIO WORKING AGAIN.

Encouraging, but not comprehensive
Lacks the authority and scope of a so-called unabridged French-English dictionary due to its very similar content of the Harrap's "Shorter" edition by the same publisher. Larousse needs to produce one solid reference bilingual French-English dictionary that can be relied upon in its scope, as with the most-comprehensive French-English dictionary last properly updated in 1980 under the original, trustworthy, and truly authoritative Harrap name.
A real unabridged bilingual French dictionary needs producing properly using the information from the aforementioned without removing senses that might be considered to be no longer in use, which has happened with the 2007 so-called revised unabridged Harrap's. I am unable to get hold of the latest such edition from 2014 to see if such concerns are remedied, but I doubt they are if the current available apps from Larousse are anything to go by.
Please, therefore, release a truly comprehensive unabridged French-English dictionary that addresses these concerns to restore my faith in the original Harrap name.

Almost perfect
The dictionary is great, but there are no verb conjugations. This is surprising, given that the abridged Larousse has them. Having said that, it is the best dictionary available in the App Store. It has an incredible range of definitions, and the pronunciation guides for each word are the best you'll find.

Maybe an extra but has a major omission
Be aware that although this is bigger than their normal FR<>EN dictionary it DOES NOT DECLINE VERBS. This means that you still need the smaller dictionary and this is not an alternative to it. How much bigger is better I have yet to discover. The one word that I tried to find was not there. The price is a big hike over Larousse's normal prices. The graphical interface is new for Larousse, fast and simple if a bit bizarre - why in a dictionary would you give priority to flags over words! Words still come with phonetic spelling and can be spoken if you have an Internet connection. The great difference over the current top class lineup is that at last the History list is the right way up. There is still no way of giving feedback on the occasions that their pronunciation is incorrect - why do they think they can get this 100% right.
