### 2/5 — Bug: Adaptive text size incorrectly programmed.

*2014-05-28, version 2.4.1*

If you enlarge iOS adaptive text, this program will make its text relatively smaller - making the text impossibly small to read. 

Otherwise, it is a pretty good app.

### 3/5 — Très bien fait

*2013-02-10*

J'ai longtemps utilisé Ultralingua sur  Palm : les dictionnaires sont très bien faits, mais il faut en acheter plusieurs pour avoir un outil complet.

Très Cher. Pas de possibilité de passage à l'application regroupant plusieurs dictionnaires (elle même hors de prix). Fonctionne maintenant avec mon iPhone 5 sous 6.1. depuis la dernière mise à jour.

Le bon côté : très complet mais il faut vraiment en avoir besoin !

### 2/5 — Very lazy/incomplete dictionary

*2010-09-20, version 0*

Will often provide a single word as a definition - if you don't know what that word means and you look it up, it will define that word as the first word you looked up... For 20 bucks this is low quality stuff

### 2/5 — Doesn't conjugate être, can't look up using conjugated verbs

*2010-06-25, version 0*

I purchased this application hoping it would be a French dictionary that I could use to look up the definition of French words in French. It isn't going to be useful for that.

The first word I wanted to look up was fussent. To my disappointment, the app does not take a conjugated verb and return the infinitive. My next disappointment was discovering that the app doesn't conjugate the verb être.

### 2/5 — deçu

*2009-12-12*

manque vraiment de mots. je fais beaucoup de mots flèchés et il ne m'aide vraiment pas à revoir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 2/5 — Very disappointing

*2009-08-18, version 0*

I own the French/English and Spanish/English apps and love them both. This dictionary, however, seems incomplete. The definitions are short and inadequate and there are very few examples. My recommendation would be to save your money.

### 3/5 — bon seulement!

*2008-09-23*

pas d'historique manque fluidité  (choix des temps en conjugaison) ( le mot temps est en anglais -tenses-) choquant ! choississez ANTIDOTE ou alors payer 2 €

### 4/5 — Very good

*2008-08-22, version 0*

Very good, broad range of definitions. My favorite feature: dictionary (i.e. one can touch any word within a definition and look that one up too--without having to type it in.). Also, addressing something i've read others writing about:

the 'x' to clear the entry is no smaller than any other Apple-made app. i've found it best to touch a little to the left of center on the 'x'.

the back button *would* be a nice feature addition (a little like the back button in itunes).

the price is definitely worth it for the quality of the app.

### 4/5 — Beau produit mais ne fonctionne plus

*2008-08-11*

J'étais content d'avoir acheté ce dico mais malheureusement sur mon iPhone depuis la version 2.01 de l'OS... CA NE FONCTIONNE PLUS alors que le dico Bilingue Anglais-Francais fonctionne toujours. NO COMPRENDO. Vivement une maj....

### 3/5 — Good but missing a major feature

*2008-08-08, version 0*

This application has some useful features with its conjugations, numbers, and thesaurus, but it doesn't permit you to browse through the list of words like any other regular dictionary.  You must search for a word, and, if an entry is not found, it may provide a suggestion, but that suggestion may not be the proper word.  For example, if you misspell the word 'plustard' as 'plutard', the app offers 'plumard' as a possible match.  If you could simply scroll through the list of words, you might have some chance of finding the word even if you have misspelled it.

### 1/5 — Mise à jour SVP

*2015-06-22*

Ne marche pas sur mon iPhone 6 
Une mise à jour serait très apprécié.

### 1/5 — Ça ne marche plus

*2014-03-09*

Impossible de l'ouvrir! 18€ a la poubelle

### 1/5 — C'est abusé !!!!

*2014-01-31*

Ne marche pas sur mon iPhone 5s !!!!???? Merci de corriger le problème !!!

### 1/5 — Update

*2013-07-07, version 2.3*

I don't like this new version at all.
Certain words are not even included, (for example "et" is not to be found).
The pronunciation is a very important feature (also missing).
I want my money back

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2012-02-14, version 1.4.3*

I thought this was a French/English dictionary. It isn't!

### 1/5 — not worth to buy

*2011-08-31, version 1.4.1*

worst dictionary ever, refund, pls!

### 1/5 — Vraiment pas terrible…

*2009-11-03*

Ce dictionnaire ne semble pas fait pour les francophones. 
Antidote est 100 fois mieux ou alors le dico des Trésors de la Langue Française (mais qui nécessite une connexion).
De plus il est cher pour le service rendu. Il n'y a même pas de module de prononciation (toujours rigolo)…

### 1/5 — Décevant

*2009-08-30*

Ce dictionnaire ne connait pas tous les mots. Ex: lumbago. Et d' autres encore. C'est une application assez chère tout de même 15€ . Cela mériterait une petite mise a jour......

### 1/5 — Don't throw your money away

*2009-07-12, version 0*

This dictionary is very bad.. Theres ussually no definitions but sinonims that only a native would know.. Not a all good for this outrageus price!!!!

### 1/5 — not worth it - thumbs down

*2008-07-21, version 0*

definitions are short - often one word, leading you around in circles. (Eg. Trapu: Râblé.  Râblé: Trapu) 
useful if you already know the word(s) you're looking up.

### 5/5 — New design

*2013-05-31, version 2.3*

I really like the new design. One search bar-smart. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great French - French dictionary

*2012-05-13, version 1.5*

In my Alliance Francaise classes I am not allowed to use English-French dictionary, so downloaded this one and it is just perfect. And the latest update is even better with the infinite scrolling. I am so glad I can carry with me this dictionary and have it with me whenever I need it

### 5/5 — Ce dictionaire c'est parfait étudier le français.

*2009-07-20, version 0*

if you want to find a dictionary that will help you find what you need, then look no further. This all French dictionary works well when you find yourself in a hard situation when you don't know what to say. 
In search mode it has live updating of your search. And the conjugator is very useful. And numeric key pad is a fantastic addition to this app. It shows numbers in digits and shows the user how the numbers are in written form. This is a great app. It deserves . It is a must have for your BUY IT!!! There will be no regrets.

And alike all the Ultralingua Inc. Apps, this one is magnificent. Just like the rest.  Great job!!

### 5/5 — 一度使うと、もう従来の電子辞書には戻れません

*2009-03-08*

軽快な動作、各単語のリンク（スクリーンショットご参照）、強力な動詞活用検索。一度使うと、もう従来の電子辞書には戻れません。しかも中身に対してすごく安い。

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2008-08-17*

Déjà excellent sur palm et windows. Je suis heureux de cette arrivée sur iPhone. Fonctionne sans soucis.

### 5/5 — TRES UTILE, BRAVO

*2008-08-08*

MERCI ULTRALINGUA. UN TRES BON DICO QUE JE CONSULTE SOUVENT. MAIS IL Y MANQUE DES ENTREES COMME "POUR".  OR ON Y TROUVE LE MOT  "POURPIER".  DONC A AMELIORER DANS LA PROCHAINE MISE A JOUR. J'ESPERE

### 5/5 — Sehr gutes Woerterbuch

*2008-07-31*

Einsprachiges Woerterbuch, das in franzoesischer Sprache zahlreiche Vorschlaege liefert und treffsicher aufklaert. Daneben gibt es auch eine Konjugationshilfe und Zahlangabe.

### 5/5 — Fantastic reference.

*2008-07-15, version 0*

This is by far the best application for language reference.
Not only is it easy to use but it contains so much information and it is well organized, explained and easy to read.

### 4/5 — Good but...

*2010-02-28*

Could do with some improvements such as the context when the word is used, especially in the thesaurus. 

The verb conjugator is great as is most of this app but as I said it would be good to have contexts for the words/verbs. An English to French section could be very useful too.

### 4/5 — Génial!!

*2008-09-09*

Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec des autres. 
Cet app est vraiment utile pour iPhone.
Mon sac à dos est maintenant devenu très légère!!!!!
Très content aussi conjugaison et liaison parfait entre Dic et Google.
