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. ### 4/5 — J’en suis satisfait *2023-09-27* Je l’utilise tous les jours pour m’aider à mieux écrire en français, c’est me rend très heureux! Aussi, je suis très content de la vérité des exemples de chaque mot. ### 2/5 — Abandonware? *2023-03-01, version 2.4.2* This was a great product at a great price back in the day, but it desperately needs updating. On an iPad, support for split view is essential, but missing. ### 3/5 — Pronunciation guide useless *2023-02-20, version 2.4.2* The app crashes every time I try to hear the French pronunciation. And this is the reason I purchased this app. No refund? ### 2/5 — No longer supported, bugs *2022-05-31, version 2.4.2* Do not waste your money. Apparently this app has not been kept up to date and has become a bit unusable. This was my favorite app for so many years. Now I’m scouring the App Store for another one since the developers are letting this one lag. Don’t waste your money at this point. ### 2/5 — Please fix the audio *2022-04-22, version 2.4.2* I used to love this dictionary but the audio always crashes now. I thought the software people would fix it but this has been going on for a long time. Larousse- Please update and fix the audio! ### 4/5 — Impossible to enter reflexive verbs from ipad *2022-01-26, version 2.4.2* None of the four keyboards I have installed on my ipad can produce an apostrophe that the app recognizes, so I can no longer enter french reflexive verbs, for example s’agir. Why not have it accept ANY style of apostrophe? ### 3/5 — Sound isn’t working *2021-09-11, version 2.4.2* Great app but shame sound doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — One of the worst apps out there *2021-04-18, version 2.4.2* Purchased this dictionary hoping it will stand to its name. Try searching for “peux” — no matches. Try listening to the pronunciation of words — the app crashes. ### 2/5 — Une arnaque *2021-02-24* Je possède cette application depuis 1an et je confirme qu'il n'y a plus de mise à jour depuis et que le son ne fonctionne plus depuis longtemps. Une honte pour cette marque bien connue. Cette application devrait être retirée de l'AppleStore. ### 1/5 — Keeps on crashing! *2021-02-19, version 2.4.2* Every time I try to listen to the pronunciation, the app will just crash. I don’t understand why the developer has been failing to address this. Do we have to write our reviews in French?! ### 1/5 — Problem with pronunciation *2021-01-31, version 2.4.2* Same issue here...for some reason it is not working. And support line doesn’t work either. Jan 2021. ### 3/5 — not as good as it was *2021-01-11, version 2.4.2* As others have said, reflexive verbs are missing. trying to listen to a word causes a crash. I have found that it “loses” its connection tonthe underkying dictionary DB from time to time and then only displays the first 25? or so words from a search. Hard closing the app restores access. I am now using a different french dictionary app. ### 2/5 — Crashes when asked for pronunciation *2020-11-22, version 2.4.2* No update? ### 3/5 — Not as good as it was. Sound feature does not work. *2020-11-18, version 2.4.2* Updating my review. I give it three stars now. Pronunciation is not working. I give it six stars. It is excellent. ------------ Six years since I bought it and I still see it as the best English-French dictionary. I use it every day. ### 4/5 — Please fix the pronunciation *2020-10-14, version 2.4.2* Great dictionary, useful phrases and every single word hyperlinked - so useful! The ‘speaker’ icons have stopped working again. I can see this raised 2 years ago. Please fix what is otherwise a great app! Still usually the first app I go to when stuck though. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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?! ### 1/5 — The pronunciation is not working!!! Very disappointed!!! *2023-01-24, version 2.4.2* Why is not fixed? Paid decent money for this app!! ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2022-08-15, version 2.4.2* My college French professor had this app on our required materials list so I purchased it without checking reviews. The app is useless for me because it crashes every time I search a word or try to play the audio pronunciations. Apple won’t let me request a refund either so that’s just money down the drain. ### 1/5 — Larousse English French Dictionary *2021-07-23, version 2.4.2* This app is exactly what I was looking for but it constantly crashes when you try to listen to translations. I am using it on an iMac running Big Sur OS. I bought it as it was an acceptable price but it is a waste of money with this compatibility problem. ### 1/5 — c’est bien foutu *2021-05-16, version 2.4.2* Rien ne march plus. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Faz o que propõe *2022-08-23* Muito bom! Excelente. ### 5/5 — Indispensable *2020-03-06* Je l’utilise depuis plusieurs années et c’est la meilleure application dictionnaire Anglais Français que j’ai pu trouver. Depuis quelques temps, la prononciation fonctionne à nouveau. ### 5/5 — iPad Multitasking Support Please *2018-11-08, version 2.4.2* I am currently learning french and this is an amazing dictionary. I currently have to switch between apps all the time but it would be great if I can have a tiny docked window of this app next to any other app that I am using. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Exceptionnel *2018-10-21* Ce dictionnaire est extraordinaire ; j'y trouve des mots absents de Linguee ou Oxford. Gros plus, la possibilité d'accéder aux conjugaisons des verbes dans les deux langues !! ### 5/5 — The best *2018-07-24, version 2.4.1* The best English French dictionary app ever🙏 ### 5/5 — Super content! Very happy! *2018-06-10, version 2.4.1* Cet appli marche super bien! Il a presque toutes les traductions pour les mots et ça montre toutes les conjugaisons des verbes! This application works really well. It has almost all the word translations and shows all the verb conjugations! Great dictionary! Bon dictionnaire! ### 5/5 — Quick 24 hour fix in response to problem *2018-04-10, version 2.4.1* Thank you for fixing bug that had begun to crash my app when pressing audio button. Otherwise no issues for the past year. Love this app, with superb pronunciation in audio recordings. Terrific depth in translations and examples of use in everyday French. ### 5/5 — Top *2018-04-07* Fantastique et indispensable mais depuis qq jours sur mon iPhone le mode prononciation fait systématiquement planter l'application. Vite une maj que je récupère cette appli absolument indispensable --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
