### 4/5 — Ultra-Lingua French - English Dictionary

*2026-06-08*

I have experience with the U/L German version to assist me with a Duo lingo course. I find it very helpful. It’s listings are quite comprehensive, if you mis-spell a word it suggests options, if you type in part of a verb it tells you which verb it is & on the other side of the screen you can open up the full verb conjugation.
Having recently learnt of an impending family wedding in Geneva I decided to revive my OU French diploma skills and what a revelation Ultra-Lingua’s French dictionary is compared with the clunky old software I have from ‘way back when’ … it’s so much easier to use. Same comments apply as for the German version .. plus on the verb table side it gives not only simple conjugations but also the reciprocal versions.
It’s not faultless … the German version doesn’t do reciprocal verbs only the simple versions and in some cases where German has moved on it still gives spellings with the hard S where modern usage is to use ‘ss’ instead.
Over all £15 well spent as evidenced by the fact I now have German, Spanish & French versions on my iPad.

### 5/5 — Très rapide même offline

*2025-12-23*

Très bonne application assez réactive et qui a la bonne idée de fonctionner même en mode avion.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!!! Over 10 years of using Ultralingua!!!

*2025-09-04*

It’s not perfect but I’ve been using the Ultralingua app for over a decade and it’s been VERY reliable. I use this app almost every single day! The phone version could use some updating for a smoother experience because it takes a moment to learn how to navigate the app effectively/efficiently for optimum usage. I still however consider it one of the best tools in my arsenal for language reference and learning. And it’s still one of THE BEST dictionary apps I’ve ever come across. The bottom line is that although it’s a bit pricey, could use an update & requires somewhat of a learning curve, it’s definitely DEFINITELY worth investing in!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome Dictionaries

*2024-12-14*

My favorite dictionary - easy to use; succinct definitions. This is my go-to dictionary for the past 10 years when in need of a translation or definition (e.g., French with the word definition in French). I regularly use the following UltraLingua dictionaries: French-English; French-French; French-Italian; Italian-English; and German-English. High recommendation for UlraLingua Dictionaries.

### 4/5 — One issue

*2024-03-07*

I’ve been using this app for years and I like it. But it’s got one major flaw in its verb conjugations. The negative past-tense of pronominal verbs in passé composé are, every one of them, incorrect. "Je ne me suis demandé pas" instead of "Je ne me suis pas demandé" for example.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2021-02-15*

I’m sure this app has many good features, but I have 2 complaints: 1)I noticed a poor translation in the App Store example. Parler de quelqu’un means to speak about someone NOT something. So I don’t trust their translations. But I bought it for the verb tense translations, only to find that 2)they don’t provide them for the more complicated tenses. For me, this dictionary is superfluous.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2020-11-12, version 2.9*

Not perfect but I’ve Been using this app for years and it’s been reliable. The phone version could definitely use some updating for a smother experience because it takes a moment to learn how to navigate the app effectively because there are minor glitches that they still have not fixed on the phone version of the app. It is however worth investing in !!!

### 5/5 — Très bonne application

*2020-10-29*

Usage pluri quotidien

### 4/5 — Excellent dictionnaire

*2020-04-03*

Excellent dictionnaire, précis et détaillé dans ses propositions de traduction
