Pas d’expressions anglaises typiques, encore moins d’américaines. Ergonomie quelconque. Sans intérêt. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2025-07-23, version 2.11.1* 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. ### 2/5 — Quelques améliorations à faire *2025-05-20* Assez bon dictionnaire. Dommage qu’on ne puisse pas consulter l’historique des mots recherches qu’en relançant l’application car une fois une recherche lancée, impossible de revenir en arrière ### 4/5 — Collins dictionary *2025-04-24, version 2.11.1* I love this dictionary. It is very handy when I’m reading my French novels …so fast! Being able to Bookmark vocabulary that I want to review later is very helpful, and the verb conjugating feature is so powerful. i’ve used this Collins dictionary app for years now and wouldn’t be without it. A one off purchase, so very affordable. ### 3/5 — Good, but glitchy *2025-03-16, version 2.11.1* Great dictionary, but glitchy. If I’m listening to something in French, and I open the dictionary to look something up, the audio stops. I’ve tried everything, it’s an issue with the app itself. Please fix in the next update thanks. ### 3/5 — Un peu confus *2024-10-28, version 2.11.1* Appli un peu confuse ### 4/5 — Hidden commands *2024-03-20* I can’t figure out how to find a word or change the word on display . Not a friendly program. ### 3/5 — Ok mais peut mieux faire *2024-02-20, version 2.10* Je l’utilise depuis 5 ans. Pas de problèmes majeurs à signaler, fait le job. Cependant je donne 3 étoiles. Pourquoi ? Il faudrait plus de mots et des définitions plus complètes. Je cherche régulièrement des mots et il n’y sont pas. En cinq ans on ne peu pas dire qu’il y a eu de grandes améliorations. À améliorer donc. ### 3/5 — Mots et explications manquent *2024-02-17, version 2.10* 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 !!! ### 3/5 — Pas à jour *2023-07-29, version 2.10* 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. ### 4/5 — Dictionary French-English&English-French *2023-06-15, version 2.10* Thank you so much for this essential tool when you read newspaper, magazine and books. ### 2/5 — Unimpressive *2023-04-29, version 2.9* Wish I hadn’t wasted money on buying this app. I thought that by paying for it I would get good value for my money. In fact it’s pretty useless to anyone other than a tourist wanting simplistic translations. It gives no origins, synonyms or antonyms. Surprised that Collins and Robert are willing to lend their names to an unimpressive app. ### 4/5 — The pronunciation audio is bad *2022-10-30, version 2.9* 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. ### 3/5 — Alastair Aberdare *2022-08-29, version 2.9* Too many less common French words omitted from this dictionary! ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2022-07-30, version 2.9* 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. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — There is no pronounciation *2025-01-02, version 2.11.1* If you are a beginner who are learning French pay attention that the app doesn’t have the function of pronounciation. It means you will not hear how to read the words or sentences. ### 1/5 — Déception dès l’achat *2024-12-15, version 2.11.1* Ne fait que traduire, ne définit même pas les mots. Ce n’est donc qu’un traducteur (qui certes présente la grammaire également) et non un dictionnaire ### 1/5 — Déçu ++++ *2024-08-15* Je croyais avoir acheté l’application le Grand Robert et Collins , mais erreur. Le contenu du dictionnaire n’a rien à voir. C’est une pâle version du Grand Robert et Collins. Je souhaiterais être remboursé. ### 1/5 — No publisher support...no recommendation *2024-03-05, version 2.10* 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! ### 1/5 — very limited vocabs *2023-12-06, version 2.10* it wasn’t bad but i can’t believe many words are not in the dictionary. i couldn’t even search ‘faim’ , i.e. hungry from it. ### 1/5 — Waste of money. *2023-03-24, version 2.9* Very expensive dictionary with a lot of missing words, far easier to use Linguee to find what you want. Also doesn’t offer spoken pronunciation. ### 1/5 — Dictionnaire incomplet, pas de mises à jour *2022-12-22* Dictionnaire peu complet en termes d’entrées, mauvais comparé à certains dictionnaires gratuits proposés par ailleurs. Aucune mise à jour depuis des années. ### 1/5 — Bloody useless *2022-05-04, version 2.9* Has very few useful words. Quicker and more accurate to use Google or open a hardback copy! ### 1/5 — Insuffisant *2022-02-16* Peu d’usage idiomatique. Les indénombrables ne sont pas précisés. Dans l’ensemble, le Larousse est de bien meilleure qualité. ### 1/5 — By joe *2021-10-19, version 2.9* Deez nuts😒 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-22, version 2.12* Love it ### 5/5 — Une vrai dictionnaire *2026-03-16, version 2.11.1* This is not for easy quick translations that will help you get through the airport. This is a real French dictionary for people who want to learn different forms of speech, conjugations and colloquial expressions. Those things make this app extremely valuable for the serious learner of French. ### 5/5 — Great!!!! *2025-12-03, version 2.11.1* Excellent, easy to read. Lots of online dictionaries, but this stands out for ease of use and is well worth it ### 5/5 — Ycdurwwfw *2025-10-08, version 2.11.1* Frwvwfre ### 5/5 — Remboursement *2024-05-26* Bonjour J’ai téléchargé aujourd’hui cette application par erreur et je souhaiterais savoir comment je pourrais avoir un remboursement s’il vous plaît. Merci ### 5/5 — Bien conçu et très pratique *2024-04-17* Le texte est clairement lisible et facilement accessible. Le vocabulaire riche. Ensemble très bien conçu. Logiciel très pratique pour les voyages et la vie quotidienne même pour un angliciste confirmé. ### 5/5 — Collins dictionary *2023-09-07, version 2.10* 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 ### 5/5 — Easy to Use and Very Helpful *2022-09-06, version 2.9* I use it all the time for school and emails. It works great. ### 5/5 — Avis d’un utilisateur *2022-04-18* Dictionnaire très incomplet, très décevant, même frustrant pour l’utilisateur ### 5/5 — Mobile dictionary *2022-01-04, version 2.9* I was bought the hard back version and decided to get the app which I’m finding very useful as it conjugates verbs as well as translating. It is easy to use in either direction and quick too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
