REVIEWS: (5 stars) "Best French dictionary ever - In the 30 years that I have been studying and using French I have yet to find a better French-English dictionary, whether in-print, online or an app. This app is totally worth the price." -User review (5 stars) "Wonderful for an high intermediate reader like me who often needs a clarification but doesn't want to haul around a heavy dictionary. The interface is great because it anticipates the word as you type and if your French spelling is weak - like mine is - it saves a lot of time." -User review Follow us on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook for app news, language learning tips, and more: http://www.twitter.com/ultralingua http://on.fb.me/ifI8Hy

A go-to reference among French dictionaries: the TLFi. All you need is an internet connection to look up a word's definition, etymology, synonyms, antonyms, and morphology, or a verb's conjugation. The Trésor de la langue française informatisé (TLFi) is the digitized version of a sixteen-volume dictionary, with 270,000 definitions and 430,000 examples drawn from French literature. It's a resource as valuable to students and translators as to anyone simply curious about words. The TLFi also integrates with your system: look up a word with Spotlight, or check its definition from any app by selecting it and tapping "Share…". Add a Home Screen widget that shows your favorites or recently looked-up words, and touch and hold the app icon to start a search or jump straight to your favorites and history.
