### 4/5 — Too expensive for value

*2024-09-05*

Reasonable dictionary but  I would expect more value for the price i.e. spoken verbs conjugations and grammar content. Too expensive as is

### 3/5 — Excellent reference

*2022-05-04*

This is an excellent dictionary, and has been an invaluable tool for learning French

**Developer response:** Hello,
Your review says our app is an excellent dictionary but you only gave it 3 stars.
If this was intentional, could you please email info@vidalingua.com, attention Marc, to let me know how we can make our app perfect? If not, could you please consider updating your review?

### 5/5 — My go to dictionary

*2022-01-20*

I use it daily and it does the work of finding words - whether you type in English or French words - even if they are conjugations. Other dictionaries just don’t show a conjugation, presuming you know the infinitive (which is kind of ridiculous if you’re looking up a word you don’t know.)

**Developer response:** Hello,
We are so grateful that you use our app daily. We appreciate your kind words. Thanks for sharing your review with us!
Angelica, Customer Success

### 5/5 — Despite no travel my language curiosity remains

*2021-12-15*

I cannot read anything with an unknown French without resorting to consulting my Vidalingua on my phone.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Glad to hear our app helps!
Angelica, Customer Success

### 3/5 — Ok, but it could be improved

*2021-11-11*

It’s good overall as a dictionary, but certain features such as pronunciation could be improved with an icon next to the word. 
Tapping on “conjugation” is not currently working.

**Developer response:** Hello,
I will discuss your suggestion with the team.
It’s very important to me that we fix the problem. Can you please email support@vidalingua.com, Attention Marc, so I can make sure the issue is resolved for you?
Marc Bolh, Founder Vidalingua

### 4/5 — Good resource

*2021-10-29*

Easy to use. Pronunciation option would be nice

To hear pronunciations in the Dictionary, tap on a head word, translation or example to display pop-up menu. Then tap on Pronounce.

To hear pronunciations in the Phrasebook and Translator, simply tap on any phrase.

To hear pronunciations in the Verb Conjugator, tap on the root verb or any of the tenses.

Could you please email info@vidalingua.com, so we can help you fix it?

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can we please have definitions in addition to conjugations?

*2018-01-22, version 7.0 (12)*

When I type in a verb to find its infinitive, why don’t they put a link to the definition?  This is annoying and I don’t like having to open another dictionary to find the meaning of the word.

### 1/5 — Pronounciation doesn't work

*2017-08-27*

No voice in app. Rip off.

### 1/5 — Suddenly no audio

*2015-07-28, version 6.2.71*

I downloaded because i saw all the nice review. Just a few days it suddenly has no audio. I tried to delete and download again. It didn't change. That's frustrating. I wouldn't pay that money for such a trash. Many free apps work better than that.

### 1/5 — Review

*2013-08-08, version 5.3.12*

This looks like a good dictionary but it has many faults.  It does not provide the gender of French words, which is something a dictionary must have.  I could not find the French words for "spoon" or for "fireplace" on a recent search.  There are probably other omissions  if you care to look for them.  A good idea that got sloppy.

### 1/5 — Slick interface, poor dictionary

*2013-06-04*

The interface is great, but the word list and definitions are poor. Of the first dozen words I tried to look up, 4 were missing or incorrectly defined. For example: "bouffer" is "to eat", not "blouse; "se pointer" and "étriper" just don't exist; "pu", the past participle of "pouvoir" is also not found.

The Larousse dictionary (at just over half the price) finds three of the four above.

### 1/5 — Dreadful Australian accent.

*2012-09-09, version 5.2.9*

Dreadful Australian accent!

### 1/5 — Wasted money

*2012-01-18, version 5.1.5*

Useless for anything 21century. Try "download" or even "Internet". Nothing given.

### 1/5 — Avoid this

*2010-12-04, version 0*

This is not worth the money. Very little content in grammar and phrases section. Some translations are simply wrong ("allumer" does not mean "turn off"!) and some french words mis-spelt ("echouter"?). This was not created by a french speaker and cannot be relied on.

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2010-08-19, version 0*

So many words both French and English simply not available whilst similar apps are no problem! I have wasted my money.

### 2/5 — Update has messed with prononciation

*2020-02-16, version 7.2.9*

Sound has been messed up with recent updates to iOS 13 or something wrong as no longer able to pronounce.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Excellent app, no internet connection needed!

*2026-08-10*

I love this app for learning French - it has pronunciation, a variety of ways a word is used in everyday language and no matter which part of a verb you search for, the app will find the infinitive and conjugate the verb in full.
The best!

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thanks for the awesome review! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you. I'm glad you like the features of our app.

### 5/5 — Very useful tool...my go to app

*2025-07-13*

This is a very well designed language app and for almost all my questions addresses my knowledge deficit more directly and moe broadly than others.

**Developer response:** Hello,
We can’t thank you enough for the kind words about our app. Your review means a lot to us and lets us know we’re on the right track!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

**Developer response:** Hi Vickieruth,

### 5/5 — Pratique, ergonomique, perfectible

*2024-06-27*

Le champ de saisie de texte cherche dans les deux langues en même temps, très pratique. La possibilité de faire prononcer le mot est appréciable également. Je trouve l'ergonomie globale bien pensée. Par contre je dois souvent passer sur une autre appli pour traduire les expressions. Dommage.

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
Heureux de savoir que vous aimez la plupart des fonctionnalités de notre application. Merci pour votre retour sur la traduction de l'expression, je le transmettrai à l'équipe de développement produit.
Angelica, Customer Success

Translation:
Glad to know that you like most of the features of our app. Thank you for your feedback on the expression translation, I will pass it on to the product development team.

### 5/5 — Good for reading and searching

*2024-04-02, version 8.3.15*

Yes!

### 5/5 — Very good dictionary

*2024-02-21, version 8.3.15*

It’s my go to French dictionary

### 5/5 — Use this endlessly!

*2023-07-28, version 8.3.15*

Really useful!

### 5/5 — Good for several reasons; an excellent dictionary

*2023-07-20*

1) definitions 2) pronunciation 3) expressions containing the word defined 4) verb conjugations. Easy to use and a source that has always included the word or expression I sought.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Delighted to hear your feedback!
Thanks for taking the time to write a review.
