### 3/5 — 3 Stars

*2017-12-20*

Can be hard to use at first. It also doesn’t give you a description of the word. If I search the french word for look I get many results but I have no idea if some mean stare or some glance. But otherwise it’s pretty good.

### 3/5 — Excellent French app. as it is...

*2017-07-03*

Fantastic French app. just as it is. 
Pronunciation well worth having. Certainly helps to fine tune your spoken word.
Hope they do not change the app. as they have done with the Spanish version!
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"!

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2016-03-16*

Good /

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2016-03-07*

Good app

### 2/5 — Not happy

*2015-07-01, version 13.0*

You can look up words but you other than that, you have to buy all other features, like translator, which I use quite often.  I liked the old version better

### 5/5 — Absolutely essential for French students.

*2014-09-02*

Don't write many reviews but I love this app! I was hesitant about getting the full version, but I love it. Links to Word Reference, has flash cards, audible pronunciations, it is must for anyone studying French.   I study other languages; I wish they'd make this dictionary for other languages as well. Thanks.

Edit: they do have other languages. That made my day!

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-08-25, version 9.8.1*

Very good and usefull

### 3/5 — Sceptique

*2014-07-24*

Some words-verbs nouns are a bit wide of the mark and the words of the day wrong too unless you have an english one to translate to french and a french one to do to english ?

### 2/5 — Requires more depth

*2014-07-23, version 9.8.1*

Is it possible to have the genders of the nouns to be specified because it is very annoying having to re-search certain noun to know their gender ?
It'll be very helpful if it was shown.

### 1/5 — Didn't even know the word for umbrella

*2014-07-01, version 9.7*

Awful app. No point downloading

### 1/5 — Bait and Switch

*2023-08-16*

Purchase because I wanted word translation AND hearing pronunciation. Second time I used it the the pronunciation “trial period” was over.  Now I have to pay for premium product.  What a joke!!

### 1/5 — Qareeb

*2019-11-19*

I’m not sure 🤔 about this app 🤮😴boring app

### 1/5 — Impossible to use with too many in-app purchase ads

*2019-06-12*

I didn’t download this for longer than 5 minutes before I deleted it. I tried using some settings and they were not user friendly. I tried to translate one word and it wouldn’t translate, just kept taking me to purchase options. I clicked the pronunciation icon once and it said I had exhausted the trial and had to pay $0.99 for any more. This needs to have more free options or just make it a paid app. In-app purchase options are just too much and get in the way of the simplest of tasks. Not worth it.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy it

*2019-04-22*

The second you type anything you’re interrupted by ads even after you purchase the dam* thing. Also, their customer service is horrible. I had an issue with my account and their reply was basically that’s not our problem [PERIOD]. No interest in knowing more about the problem for future reference or in helping a customer whatsoever.

### 1/5 — ms

*2016-10-11, version 16.0*

The free version is not that useful, it appears to get to the useful features you need to pay.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2016-04-29*

I got this for the scan functionality, which is truly horrible. Another app I tried worked much better. 

The dictionary itself is also very unimpressive and oddly free of formatting. 

Last and worst, the ads are incredibly obnoxious and require dismissal about two times a minute.

### 1/5 — Stupid app

*2015-10-17*

It says "French dictionary" not French English, this app is really STUPID and NONSENSE, whoever create this is an idiot. F you

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2015-01-22, version 11.4*

Too many ads (for every time you click in a word) and they charge you to hear the words in french. I will delete it now. in my opinion it is worthless. i would not give any start if i could.

### 1/5 — In Madagascar

*2014-12-10, version 11.3*

Paid $5 for pro version yet annoying advertisements persist!

### 1/5 — 👎👎

*2014-07-29*

I was enjoying this app until I received a message saying that my trial period was over. Then was given a list of options costing $$. 
For this reason I give it a thumbs down👎👎👎👎👎

### 5/5 — french dictionary

*2018-11-18*

I love the dictionary.🥰😍

### 5/5 — PLEASE UPDATE!

*2017-06-30, version 18.3*

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-12-11, version 17.0*

Very excellent app with phrase & idiomatic expressions. Can you include the gender for the nouns please. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Reliable

*2016-07-28*

Reliable app that I refer back to all the time. Small suggestion... I would add more words that are found in other dictionaries

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2015-03-15*

If you are looking for a french dictionary, look no further.
This is the real deal.

### 5/5 — Great free dictionary

*2014-11-28*

Clearly this does not provide a comprehensive English French dictionary. But for everyday translation of news items and books it's brilliant.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2014-09-08, version 10.0*

Waw helpful
