Excellent reference

This is an excellent translation app, quick and easy to use. A huge benefit is the conjugation of verbs, absolutely necessary when studying French. When I need historical depth I turn to Le Petit Robert, but this is my day-to-day reference and I use it all the time. I’m grateful to have it.

Great dictionary and privacy policy

The dictionary works great. It has good search functionality and can also show conjugations. It also has a great privacy policy that shows it doesn’t track any data related to you!

Works well for beginners

Easy to look-up single words. Getting phrases is nice as well.

I still have a french <-> french dictionary on the side for pronunciation.

If a possibility to search for parts of Phrases is added ( which, to my knowledge is not yet possible ) it would be the definitive choice.

Nice to have a one time payment. Thumbs up to the decision makers 👍

Not current and too expensive

Lacks many example sentences and definitions that can be found for free on apps like Wiktionary Reader or Motî. Very little contemporary slang within this dictionary.
