### 5/5 — So useful

*2026-06-29, version 2.4.2*

I’ve used this app continuously since my 2nd generation iPod touch. Its interface hasn’t changed one bit so it can feel a little dated, but it’s as practical, helpful and useful as it ever was. So much usefulness in such a small package!

### 1/5 — Audio files don’t work?

*2026-01-16, version 2.4.2*

I downloaded this today and the audio files worked the first time I opened the app, but after the first time, no audio files work the words will come up. It’ll show the conjugations. It shows the IPA pronunciation, but  will not play the auto files.

### 1/5 — Completely incompatible with recent iPadOS versions

*2025-11-19, version 2.4.2*

The UI is incompatible with the windowing UI changes in iPadOS 25 and later, and the developer appears to have no intention of updating this app.

### 1/5 — App cost me $50

*2025-10-11, version 2.4.2*

I wish I didn’t have to say this, but once I entered my password the price changed to $50 instantly and it charged me that.. and the credit card company is saying the transaction and cost are correct.. yet I saw $5 when authorizing the price! Beware!!

### 1/5 — Pronunciation not working

*2025-08-07*

Can’t hear anything when trying to hear pronunciation. The app itself looks fake, it has no systems settings! Don’t download and waste money. I’d like my refund.

### 2/5 — Décrochage

*2025-01-18*

L’application est très riche mais elle décroche très souvent lorsque l’on veut écouter la prononciation d’un mot ou d’une phrase. Ce qui rend très perturbant l’usage de l’application

### 2/5 — No sound!

*2024-10-24, version 2.4.2*

I have used extensively this app, and thought it was great, but now there is no sound to understand the pronunciation, it is much less useful.

### 1/5 — C'est presque honteux pour une maison d'édition comme Larousse

*2024-05-21*

d'avoir un dictionnaire anglais-français payant mais si pauvre, in ne trouve même pas les mots les plus communs!

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2024-04-26, version 2.4.2*

The sound doesn’t work, the app keeps crashing. Is that what you charge $5 for?!

### 5/5 — Always helpful

*2024-04-16, version 2.4.2*

I have this open quite often as I search for a word in French or figure a translation into English. 

It has a simple design that really works for me.
