For an app that cost me $6, I expect more than what I'm getting. Just like the other reviewers said, the new iOS 7 makes the app function incorrectly; every time you need to look up a word you have to close the app and reopen it because the field and keypad disappear after you look up the word. This isn't the case with the other language dictionaries, I have the French Spanish French English English Spanish dictionaries and they all work fine on the iOS 7. Please fix!!!!! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2013-11-27, version 1.0.1* The app does not work with iOS 7 you can check one word and then it freezes. Would give it minus stars but unable to do so. Very sad bought in good faith having to rely on other apps. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work with iOS 7 *2013-11-25, version 1.0.1* Just paid $5.99 for completely dysfunctional app - it doesn't work under iOS 7, and it is not mentioned anywhere on the makers website. This is completely dishonest. Now, how do I get my money back? ### 1/5 — Please update the app. Plzzzzz *2013-11-21* Please update the app. I have a serious problem with the app after updating to ios7. When i search a word the keyboard disappears and i have to reopen it all over again. ### 1/5 — Broken *2013-11-08, version 1.0.1* Do not download if you have already installed iOS 7. Worked with iOS 6, does not work on iOS 7. ### 1/5 — Sad student *2013-11-04, version 1.0.1* This WAS brilliant. But since iOS7 update you can only do one search - then the keyboard disappears. I'll be deleting it and buying something else. So disappointed. ### 1/5 — Do not buy, failed to update *2013-10-30* I have the French and German versions. They both worked well until the latest operating update. The French continues to work, but the German version will not let one search for more that one word without closing out the app completely. I wrote to them about it but so far this serious error has not been corrected. Hopefully this review will get them to fix it. ### 1/5 — Needs a serious update. *2013-10-28, version 1.0.1* It's only possible to make ONE search at a time! You have to force close the app and restart to do another, new search. ### 1/5 — LAZY LAROUSSE *2013-10-13* Dear Larousse, I can only assume you are raking money from customers who bought your app and now you don't feel like updating. FYI, Summer Break is over….so get to it. It is the ONLY App on my phone that has not provided an update to iOS7, which made this App completely useless. Also, your customer service is terrible. I've e-mailed several times on this subject without even getting an e-mail back saying something useless like "we are currently working on fixing the problem with iOS7, but we can't figure out how to make THE SEARCH FIELD STAY VISIBLE"… yes, the most important part of the dictionary…the search field. Best regards ### 1/5 — So annoyed *2013-10-09* This used to be a great app, but it doesn't work with iOS 7. PLEASE UPDATE THE APP!!!! ### 1/5 — iOS7 breaks functionality. *2013-10-08* As noted in another review, the upgrade to iOS 7 breaks important functionality. It is now necessarily to kill the application after each word lookup because the search bar vanishes behind the results and cannot be retrieved. This is unfortunate because this is a fantastic reference otherwise. If Larousse fixes this app, my review will go back to 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Does not work with iOS 7 *2013-09-29, version 1.0.1* One can search once, but cannot then go back to search again. (Larousse French-English is OK) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New ios problems *2019-11-17, version 1.2* Good content but audio unreliable with new ios. The app developers are always slow to fix issues with ios changes - pity because the definitions and audio are fine, when they work. ### 1/5 — Very old bad app *2015-10-04* It doesnt work with ios 7,8,9!!!please update it ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money *2015-06-20* What a disappointing piece of garbage! I get error messages as often (or more) as I do definitions. It freezes a lot and tells me that even relatively common words don't exist in the dictionary. (This is with wifi — it's not a connectivity issue.) Google Translate works better, for heaven's sake. This is the first app I've bought that has made me feel genuinely ripped off. I wish I could get a refund. I'm surprised such a respectable name is associated with this. ### 1/5 — Useless *2014-03-01, version 1.0.1* Complete waste of £3.99. Don't buy for the one search reason as above. Larousse- when are you going to fix this??? ### 1/5 — Unusable on iPhone 5 w/iOS 7 *2014-02-12, version 1.0.1* Search bar disappears. Consider Collins instead. ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2014-01-15, version 1.0.1* Very disappointed with this app. I have been using the French version for several years with no problems. As mentioned by other reviewers, you can search once but then it doesn't work. A waste of money. ### 1/5 — Used to work well, but stopped under latest OS on iPad *2014-01-03, version 1.0.1* Still not working under iOS 7. Not been updated and fixed for a long time now. To use on iOS7 you need to come completely out of the App and start again. Crazy. Under the latest OS the search function only works once. When you have looked at a word, the search screen never returns. It was great, but now you have to clear the app from memory and restart for each new word. Needs an update! ### 1/5 — This Larousse dictionary is broken *2014-01-02, version 1.0.1* I own 3 iPhone Larousse translation Dictionaries: English/French, English/Spanish and English/German. The 1st 2 dictionaries work OK, but the English/German Dictionary is broken. The English/German Dictionary only allows 1 word search. After making a 1 word search i cannot search the next word. The text box is missing??? and the keyboard input is also missing. Given that the app is the same look and feel as the French & Spanish dictionaries it should be an easy job to fix the broken code. DONT BUY THIS APP UNTIL ITS FIXED! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work with iOS7 *2013-12-26, version 1.0.1* Needs an update. Users can only search for one word before search function no longer works. ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY - failed to update MINUS 10 stars *2013-12-23* If I could give negative stars for lack of maintenance I'd give it TEN stars. I can't believe Larousse still has NOT updated this app to function with ios7. Before the lack of maintenance this was a fabulous app. I used to use it in German class all the time. But having to restart the app every time I want to look up a word does not make it conducive to use. If they ever update it I'll go back and change to 5 stars. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very positive *2015-02-15* I believe that I put in hundreds of hours with this app! It is well worth the price! ### 5/5 — Best choice *2014-07-17* Full offline pronunciations Great interface and format Great price ### 4/5 — Value for Money *2019-11-03, version 1.2* A straightforward, basic dictionary of high quality for beginning/intermediate students. All verbs are fully conjugated in all tenses and moods. High quality audio pronunciations by a native speaker are available not just for the headwords, but for all of the numerous phrases/sentences given as examples. This is a very useful feature for learners. Finally, the low price is very reasonable for a work of this quality. ### 4/5 — Essential *2014-09-22, version 1.1* Great daily aid to my German learning and likewise for my German friends english speaking. Was also a great accompaniment to German lessons. Waiting for IOS 8 bug fixes as the search facility is not functioning well.... ### 4/5 — Overall great, but... *2013-01-25* I'm a fan of the Larousse apps. I've been using the French version for quite a while and find both very user-friendly and helpful. Especially with the conjugations. However, the German version lacks IPA pronunciations (only the English words have it). I find this strange, as the French version has IPA for both languages. Overall, this app is quite nice, and very cheap when compared to hard copy versions of the same thing. ### 4/5 — Can't go wrong really. *2011-04-02, version 1.0.1* Bought this because it was cheaper than the big name dictionaries who were charging a lot more. This does the job well, plays sounds for new words and show grammer tables for the words you're interested in. Actually has the translation for 'crumpet' which is brilliant. (Kleines rundes Hefeteigbrot zum Toasten, btw ;-)) If there is one fault, it doesn't have all the tenses for words you want to look for. So for example I can look up the word for 'Arbeit', 'work' in english, though you can't look up 'Arbeitest', but it is in the conjugation tables if you search for 'Arbeit'! ### 3/5 — iOS 7 search issue. *2013-09-30, version 1.0.1* The app worked wonderfully until iOS 7. Now, the search bar disappears after the very first search, so that I now need to shut the app down and restart it. Please fix this, as I do love this app! ### 2/5 — Needs an Upgrade for iOS7 *2014-01-07* I have the three main Larousse Dictionaries for iPhone: French, Spanish, and German, and all worked great before iOS7 came along. Once I upgraded to iOS7, the French and Spanish dictionaries worked fine, but the German is almost non-functional. The search section goes away for no reason and you can't look anything up. I hope they upgrade it soon, because I need it in my work. ### 2/5 — Great app, but the search needs to be updated *2013-10-28* This dictionary is VERY helpful with easy search (when it works) and spot-on results. The search feature needs updated. I must turn my phone sideways to expose enough of the search bar to activate the search, and the search feature usually crashes after 30 words searches. It is a very useful app, but the search shortcomings are annoying. ### 2/5 — Worked nicely until iOS7 *2013-09-20* This is a fantastic dictionary with relevant usage examples, explanations of idioms, as well as helpful definitions. However, this app needs an update to work with iOS 7. Since that OS update, the search bar disappears after you select a word. This requires you to force-close the app and re-open every time you want to search for another word. Otherwise, this would be a 4 or 5-star review. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
