Very confusing as it says Try It for everything
NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL. Opens and closes leaving behind a blue screen. Tap on the blue screen and it disappears. Ultralingua does NOTHING to fix this. They keep saying to remove it and put it back in which solves NOTHING! This is how I lost my English dictionary too and it disappeared from the Apple library.

Crashes on Launch
Doesn’t seem to work on iOS 18.6 (15 Pro Max).
This is the one
If you’re looking for a bilingual dictionary app, stop your search and buy this one. I bought this app over 15 years ago and I still use it nearly every day, to this day. 6 stars, no doubt.
Vale oro
Cuesta lo que cueste, este app vale oro. Me ha servido como cualquier bueno amigo que tengo en las estanterías… en el bolsillo.
Time for an overhaul
Been using this app for years, but it has no proper night mode and gets confused when switching between light and dark, with entries becoming illegible. Give this app the update it deserves.
lacks advertised functionality
there is currently no icloud sync. both the bookshelf and individual collins dictionaries by the same developer advertise syncing favorites and transferring them to other devices but this function is broken which, for an app with this price tag, is unacceptable. the developer responded to an email inquiry letting me know that they are aware and have no timeline as to when a fix can be expected. i have many favorites in an individual dictionary app and after buying another one of their expensive dictionaries i am unable to use them both in the bookshelf app because there is no way of transferring all the favorites. the favorites also don’t sync between the iphone and ipad versions of the dictionary or bookshelf apps. the developer either needs to provide a fix, which honestly is not that serious of a coding job, or update the store description before people spend $18 for each of their dictionaries expecting the advertised features.

Speak function
Thank you very much !!
Now it's working.
Now it's working.
pronunciation sound
This is really good application, but when I want to check pronunciation, I click on ‘speak ‘ then app is shut down…
Response from developer
Hello, we've fixed the "Speak" bug in version 2.11.1. Please update your app to the latest version. Email us at escalate@ultralingua.com with any questions. Thank you for using Ultralingua!
Good but needs multi-dictionary search
This review is for both the app and two of the dictionaries (Apple won’t let me review the standalone dictionaries Ultralingua sells). The Ultralingua app itself is mostly great, in that you can have just one app for multiple dictionaries. However, unfortunately you can only search one dictionary at a time. If I’m looking for, say, an EN-ES translation of a word, I want to be able to search all my EN-ES dictionaries, not just one. It seems a single-app approach should allow this.
As for content, well, I’ve learned that more words in a dictionary isn’t necessarily better. For my EN-ES example, the main one with 75k words isn’t better/worse than the Collins 55k one. The 75k one has more technical words (e.g., isotherm). But when I asked my Mexican wife to throw a test word at me (jamaica), the Collins dictionary had it (hibiscus), whereas the bigger 75k one didn’t. This is exactly why it would be great if you could search words across multiple installed dictionaries, or at least switch easily between different dictionaries for the same search term.

Hello, the Ultralingua app does have a "Search in All" option. Tap the "books" icon to see a list of your dictionaries. At the bottom of the list is a "Search in All" option. Tap that to search all of the dictionaries installed in the Ultralingua app. Please email us at escalate@ultralingua.com with other questions. Thanks for using Ultralingua!
Pretty Good
Has fuzzy searching when you can’t spell. Searches backwards so works even if you haven’t switched the from
And to languages around. Shows declinations succinctly.
I’m using the Collins German-English dictionary.

Fantastic but outdated
One of my favorite dictionaries, but the app hasn’t been updated.
Does Not Support Family Sharing
It says it does, but it does not!
Best for learning a language
Access to all definitions of a word and all conjugations of verbs. Easy to use.
It used to be good
It used to be a good app but it hasn’t been updated in a long, long time. I find that it often doesn’t have the words I’m looking for although google translate does. It’s a shame as I like a lot of things about this app, for instance it gives you the gender of the word, but it’s become practically unusable.

Version français-portugais indigente
La version français-portugais n’est qu’une liste de mots assez succincte, sans aucun exemple, où l’on se rend vite compte que beaucoup de vocabulaire de base est absent.
Je ne suis vraiment pas un grand lusophone, mais chaque fois qu’un mot m’a manqué je ne l’ai pas trouvé (mais il était bien présent chez Porto Editora).
À presque 15 euros c’est vraiment TRÈS cher… Peut on espérer des mises à niveau ???

A constant companion
So, I haven't written many reviews on iOS apps, but feel this one is deserving of it. As I study and teach languages I've found this application to be my constant companion. I love that it can be used on both iPhone, iPod and iPad with the same license and wish there was more integration with the MacOS version. Please bring the MacOS flash card feature to the iOS version and sync the two would be all I can imagine as possible improvements. I feel this is the dictionary standard on which all will be compared and judged. Keep up the great work. I also want to mention the Bookshelf app that unites their various dictionaries is brilliant and something that others can only dream of.

Needs an update
This app hasn’t been updated in two years and it shows. Every time I try to download language library updates it crashes. It seems Ultralingua doesn’t want to comply with Apple’s privacy transparency requirements because there is no other logical explanation for why they are not updating. DO NOT BUY THIS APP until they update.

Indispensable
Simplement indispensable.
Mais une mise à jour serait la bienvenue!
La dernière remonte à deux ans en arrière…
Une option qui permettrait d’ajouter des mots, du jargon technique par exemple serait utile.
