Or mistakenly tapping “translate” button consumes unnecessary time to return to the dictionary and tap the right word, which was already shown at the top. ### 4/5 — Qualité *2026-08-14* Traduction littérale sur des longues phrases et erreur de choix de mots si le contexte n’est pas précisé. Mais pour une application gratuite, c’est tout à fait acceptable **Developer response:** Bonjour, Merci pour votre avis ! Pourriez-vous envoyer un courriel à info@vidalingua.com afin que nous puissions travailler ensemble pour perfectionner notre application ? Angelica, Customer Success Translation: Thanks for your review! Could you please email info@vidalingua.com, so we can work together to make our app perfect? ### 5/5 — Handy French App *2026-08-03, version 8.4.21* Excellent app. User friendly for both French equivalent of English words and phrases ... and vice versa. This app provided quick access to words I'd forgotten. ### 5/5 — Excellent online dictionary *2026-07-14, version 8.4.21* Excellent online dictionary with much more, eg. Phrase translation, verb forms, etc. , Very user friendly as I review my college French in preparation for travel ### 2/5 — Review *2026-07-12, version 8.4.21* Like very much the sounding of the words chosen. S should be more example Sentences and many words missing. Good for a starter learner. Trouble at times with saved words not available and now no sound for words ### 5/5 — Great easy app for French translation *2026-07-02, version 8.4.21* I’ve loved using this app for several years now, whenever I travel to France. I mostly use the dictionary, which is both simple and complete. I never find myself stumped as to the meaning of signs, notices, or programs. ### 5/5 — Avis *2026-06-29* C’est une application très intéressante **Developer response:** Bonjour Birami, Merci pour votre avis ! Angelica, Customer Success Translation: Thanks for your review! ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-06-11* Simple clair et efficace Thanks ♥️ **Developer response:** Hi Mika, Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Angelica, Customer Success ### 5/5 — Quick and easy *2026-06-03, version 8.4.21* Very useful for quick reference, this app gives the translation in various contexts. ### 2/5 — Cancel subscription *2026-05-25, version 8.4.21* No more need for subscription ### 4/5 — Very useful app *2026-05-17, version 8.4.21* This is a very compact app which is particularly useful for intermediate students of French. It also allows cross reference to more comprehensive definitions if required. The dictionary and translation features are the most useful. In the more recent iteration, advertisements have become more prominent, which rarely pleases users. There is a complex £ $ € calculus between advertising, cost of app and product satisfaction / uptake. ### 5/5 — Premium is not that expensive *2026-04-08, version 8.4.21* I mean 29 aud for a year ads free is pretty good for me, i’m on academic study so i use it a lot for book translation n conjugation ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-03-28, version 8.4.21* Great in that it offers many choices for f meanings as well as pronunciation option. ### 5/5 — To app *2026-03-23, version 8.4.21* I have used this app for several years and value it. No single app does everything, however the dictionary, pronunciation and translation are very good. The verb declinations are extensive but I find their use limited because unfamiliar with the classification system, I don’t know the equivalent in my own language. Therefore parallel translations would be perfect. Then 5⭐️ Also the ability to resize the window would enable the app to be open whist using another window ### 5/5 — 5 star *2026-02-10, version 8.4.21* C’est super! ### 5/5 — Très bien *2026-02-02, version 8.4.21* I started learning French using this. Enjoyed it to the point that I want to buy the paid version of this app w full access. Just confused which is the premium version, is it one on the app store having one time payment or the yearly subscription in in-app purchase? What’s the difference? ### 5/5 — Simple … and so effective! *2026-02-02, version 8.4.21* It’s the perfect formal support to my learning ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-01-31, version 8.4.21* Awesome! Has options to hear pronunciation which is great! Also translates whole phrases!! ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2026-01-27, version 8.4.21* Great app i love it! ### 5/5 — Trop essentiel ! *2026-01-14, version 8.4.21* Been on the app for years, hands down an indispensable tool! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-12-05, version 8.4.21* It used to be such a great app. The latest revamp has been a major downgrade in usability. I’ll be looking for a better app. ### 1/5 — Good luck trying to cancel *2024-03-01, version 8.3.15* Trying to cancel this app is worse than trying to find the proverbial needle in a haystack! ### 1/5 — What *2023-10-04, version 8.3.15* I couldn’t figure out how to translate anything. I would put in a common English word and the app couldn’t find a match in French so I want to cancel, but I can’t find how to do that ### 1/5 — Apple Watch *2023-08-21, version 8.3.15* The watch version is just a dictionary that contains English and French words ### 1/5 — Was great until my plus functionality disappeared *2023-03-02, version 8.3.15* I’ve provided proof of purchase, have answered all the questions asked. I just want access to what I paid for. Only half the verb senses are visible and the reason I pay for plus is to access subjonctif. ### 1/5 — Upsetting *2022-03-21, version 8.3.15* This is not a user friendly Translator, the text function does not work, nor does the photo translator. Do not waste your money. ### 1/5 — Mixed up prononciation *2021-04-07, version 8.1.29* RUBBISH! Sometimes when I click pronounce on the French words, it mixed up & pronounces in English (the woman’s voice) and I have to click 2-3 times until the correct voice i.e. French pronunciation finally appears Update (Aug 2019) this is the worst paid app I have ever purchased (bought it 4 years ago) it used to be much better, now beside the above problem, the app often crash, so annoying when I’m at class and needed to use it, most of the time I can’t access it, I’m now using the FREE app called WR (wordreference) app. This vidaligua app a total rip off ### 1/5 — Attrape niveau!!!! *2020-05-04, version 7.2.9* Votre publicité dans Apple store est très bien faite, votre application me semble fantastique. J'ai vérifié les achats intégrés, cela m'a semblé très intéressant. MAIS ce n'est qu'après avoir téléchargé l'application qu'on m'informe que j'ai droit à une semaine d'essai gratuit. C'est aussi dit que c'est possible d'annuler en tout temps. J'aurais apprécié d'être informé plutôt que je dois payer après une semaine d'essai. ET le lien pour annuler ne fonctionne pas, je n'ai pas trouvé d'autre moyen d'annuler ma commande. ET tout le texte d'accueil est uniquement en anglais!!! Mmtosm ### 1/5 — Rip off don't buy *2017-02-04, version 6.2.71* Total waste of money, the paid extended dictionary does not contain even the most simple and commonly used words. Words in the phrases are not contained the in the dictionary. Wish I had not bought the add-ons. Not worth the money at all. ### 1/5 — Não recomendo *2016-07-20* Funcionalidade péssima ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reall good *2026-08-21, version 9.2.15* Really good god bless you guys keep up with the good work ### 5/5 — Incontournable *2026-08-20, version 9.2.15* This app does everything a French learner could need, including pronunciation, translation, full verb conjugations, plus a general dictionary. The small annual fee is a bargain. ### 5/5 — Super appli *2026-08-17, version 9.1.22* Meilleure application pour l traduction. Ça fonctionne à merveille ### 5/5 — Essential App *2026-08-16, version 9.1.22* I have utilized this French Translator dictionary for a number of years now. I am studying French very intensely now and use this app many times a day. I regarded it as absolutely essential to have a comprehensive manner to both deal with meaning as well as the conjugations in French to reinforce my learning. Superb app! ### 5/5 — Super *2026-08-16, version 9.1.22* Super ### 5/5 — A gem! *2026-08-15, version 9.1.22* Very useful. I like it a lot. ### 5/5 — Laura *2026-08-14, version 9.1.22* It’s my number one resource. ### 5/5 — 😊 *2026-08-10, version 9.1.22* Very helpful ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-10, version 9.1.22* Works really well. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-07* It gives all the context for every meaning and has good translation **Developer response:** Hello, Glad to hear you love our app!
