Comprehensive and easily searchable                     Best language dictionaries AAAME

I really liked the look of these apps when they came out and I bought the Mac version too because of the hotkey feature to define selected words But this is abandonware people They haven t done anything to these in years and there is a bug in the French one that won t change contexts properly when languages are reversed You ve been warned         abandonware dharmanaut

I have been using the French Spanish and Italian dictionaries of Ultralingua almost daily for several years I speak and teach French and Spanish and am learning Italian and absolutely love having these excellent dictionaries at my fingertips on my ever present i pod                     Wonderful dictionaries EH46

I ve used this app to help me in reading French novels for years and think its scope and layout are superb                     Indespensible Minokemeg

Learning French                     I like my French Roy5078

I like this app because of the examples for conjugations However I purchased this app because I thought that there were sentence examples I am still learning how to use this app Perhaps I haven t figured out how to find the examples for sentences                 Learning French J ´amie français

Stalling problems noted in previous review have all been resolved in latest update App works fast and flawlessly Well done                     Stalling solved delta.com

Sluggish response and frequent stalling App is slow to open a page appears but is unresponsive for up to 30 secs Identifying Favorites also disables the screen for several seconds a real inconvenience The Spanish English dictionary does not display these problems Otherwise the app is a very useful reference                 Stalling delta.com

Use it all the time as I read French newspapers or listen to France Info The UI has improved over the years and is rather attractive One quibble is that the app icon looks dated and could be improved upon Would be easier to find in my apps if it were more distinctive The language coverage is quite good in French although it lacks certain slang words I like the favorites feature too                 Trusty tool for years leapingheart

Well worth the price Much better than even a fairly comprehensive print dictionary and far easier to use I love it                     Extremely useful Janglophone

I use this mainly as a dictionary to aid me in my French lessons and so far it s been really helpful                     Works for me Squeakalot

I ve taken this app with me on several trips to France and fine it very handy It has idioms verb conjugations common word combinations in both English and French                     Very comprehensive rtsphd

The word rapprochement appears in the app if you know how to spell it it is the same word in English and is not a new word Great app                     rapprochement Lagertha06

During the end of negotiations with the U S and Iran the word Raprawshmahn came up however it does not appear in your dictionary Current events is the language needed JECIII             Not Current With French In The News editviz1

ultralingua was probably my most used app the dictionary was great and accurate and the verb conjugator an absolute god send unfortunately an update I ll admit some while ago removed the conjugator and changed the format of the dictionary The dictionary is still as accurate but with an interface I still have trouble using after all this time I m hoping that they will update the app again and 1 bring back the conjugator tho changing the dictionary would also be nice Was definitely worth 20 when I purchased in 2009 10 probably wouldn t purchase for the same price now though                 Holding out for a new update Bryt

Absolutely marvelous Extremely easy to use I wish it could also pronounce the words                     Struggling student 1stedition

I usually don t write reviews but I had to write one for Ultralingua I recently moved to a francophone country and this app helps me navigate my intermediate level French in an all French environment I would not be able to do my work without it Terms are super easy to look up and conjugations are super easy to access I wouldn t ask for anything else of this app                     My most used app Jgfabulous

Repeatedly crashes Switching between the dictionary and the the Safari browser seems to do something to damage the dictionary app Of course switching between the dictionary and other apps is something you do without so I would not buy this app A fresh reinstall seems to work OK until I start multasking again which re damages the app It will immediately begin to crash and get progressively worse until it s virtually unusable I see this app hasn t been updated for a year now Is it still being supported even Who knows     Serious bug somewhere StarvingNYCDilettante

As a fluent non native French speaker I need a serious offline dictionary and I use the app daily I like that it has expressions integrated into the search feature though less than the online Word Reference app the conjugations are extremely easy to use with all tenses listed Things I would like to see in future versions 1 MORE FREQUENT UPDATES current version has become extremely SLOW and CRASHES when certain letter sequences are typed in forcing you to type ab or ad and scroll when you wanted a word starting with ac 2 a way to ADD YOUR OWN words definitions and annotations since I often search online for words not in this app 3 MORE SLANG older words one finds in literature and informal language 4 wider variety of specific words within everyday categories food garden tools medical terms etc 5 more compound words like contact lens solution 6 default to the keyboard in upon start up for faster searches 7 moving the switch languages English to French vs French to English button further away from the X out button which erases the search field There are also a lot of UK English definitions without the US equivalent especially annoying when looking up a slang word I m American                 Best current Fr En offline app needs improvement Jennic9

The Ultralingua team needs to pay attention to this It is ridiculous and unacceptable that the app should crash when looking up a word There is mo way to re look up the word after a crash This NEEDS to be fixed I also have the Spanish version and it crashes less often Please fix this It is very frustrating                 Great app but crashes too often HenriW

This app was rock solid until recently Now certain words or letters cause it to crash every single time Example Fre Eng g a r CRASH                 Seconding Crashing w Certain Words Darex21

Cette application marche tr s bien Je l aime beaucoup Geat app love it apart from the occasional crash when searching for some specific words                 Great Gorbzy

Love this app It has been a really easy to use and reliable tool in reading and studying French However it has just started to crash on entering certain French words Hopefully this can be fixed soon                 Just started crashing Windchyme50

A great translator Dictionary etc 99                     Great claire porsche

I reviewed version 1 2 back in 2009 and have been using all updates since then The current version also makes me happy It s never let me down                     New version also a winner JoelyR

Easy to use beautiful tremendously useful I love the conjugations And Ultralingua support is responsive and helpful                     Great app spark39

The app won t open It crashes immediately     Does not work i ios7 Lamella

I am attending school in France and find this app extremely useful The linking available in the latest update is a great feature                 Excellent tool JustJen19

Cannot open the app closes immediately iOS 7 iPhone 5     Latest Update Won t Open in iOS 7 jslim1999

Latest 2 4 1 October 17 update for iOS 7 crashes on launch app won t open at all and I m running latest iOS 7 version on a new iPhone 5s Avoid updating until this gets fixed Update re downloaded a few hours later and now seems to work                 Beware update Or maybe ok AzurAccess

The old version of the app was so much easier to use This new update seems very elementary and is just not as good as the earlier version         Very Disappointed with this Update swiss56

As a student and teacher of French for more than 50 years I ve found this to be the best tool available for use both on the spot and in a more studious relaxed situation I have used it extensively over a period of years throughout Europe Haiti and at home with complete satisfaction                     Best app of its kind MRA in FL

This Ian a great app Love it                 Great app Chandan Joarder

The new interface is less attractive and less useful to browse It looks like someone decided they could save money by putting a couple of menu items that could ve been done as buttons next to a copy of the iPhone user interface and calling it an iPad app             Don t like the new look KBinNJ

This app has really helped me learn French I ve been using it almost daily for a few years and I love the new layout Definitions conjugations and expressions all in one place I really like the simple navigation and easy to read font Thanks for the beautiful dictionary and awesome update Great app                     Awesome Update paulbterry

Why fix something that wasn t broken to begin with I don t like the new look it s confusing to navigate             Not digging the new look Tatie Court

The Collins Ultralingua dictionary content and new user interface overall is great The one major major minus They need to bring back more easily identifiable icons The flags worked really well for quick easy access to the right dictionary Can barely discern the difference now Also Do not bother to download the Ultralingua bookshelf It is just a marketing tool for Ultralingua s benefit not their users It forces an extra click to get to the dictionary you need while presenting you with needless commercials and social media options             A five but for the Bad Icon William-W

This is a wonderful app easy to use and great interface Get this app and you will not regret it                     Great App kouma05

Sadly disappointed in this app The conjugation feature is interesting but the dictionary is lacking many phrasal verbs needed for translation purchases Too expensive for what it is You d be better off buying a 2 or 3 dollar app         Disappointed spud1129

I also have the German Spanish dictionaries from Ultralingua and can t believe that with this update the landscape mode is gone from all three Frankly I d much rather do without the latest improvements but at least be able to use this on my iPad The worst part about it is that even in portrait mode when you try to enter any text for search the keyboard that pops up is in landscape mode which blocks the field where you re supposed to enter the text Thus rendering this app TOTALLY useless Please fix this PRONTO     What happened to landscape mode Thumbs down eccparis

Ultralingua is very lackluster overall I often find that key expressions are missing and the app is quite buggy In version 1 5 2 the screen would often remain blank instead of showing the correct definition and following the 1 5 3 update the app has crashed every time I tap the search bar to start typing I would expect this from a free dictionary but this is really unacceptable given my investment         For 19 99 this is robbery enDofhEArTacHe11

With iPhone 5 and iOS 6 the contextuel menu stopped working It s an iOS 6 issue as it s the same with my iPad 3 I just updated to iOS 6 One of the best feature of this dictionnary just disappeared Ultralingua MUST address the problem It s time to work on an update Your are already late guys         Contextual menu doesn t work with iOS 6 jdoumecq

I had just installed this app when I got a notice from them that an upgraded version is now available I only had to pay the same price that I just paid to get it I was not given the choice to buy the upgraded app first     Really poor marketing practices STINKS RonMcC

The framework of this app is very good it s been through many iterations and on many platforms I ve purchased it and re purchased it for Newton Palm MacOS OS X and Windows over the years in addition to this iOS version It served me well when I was a beginner but now it just doesn t have enough words nor are the definitions nuanced enough for me to trust that I ll use or understand a word correctly If you are a beginner it may be the right choice for you but please read on The Larousse bilingual is a better dictionary and is much less expensive but that app isn t as good as this one Ultralingua s own FR EN Collins offering is a better bilingual than this and uses the same excellent dictionary engine as this but is much more expensive For a similar level of investment one can purchase Le Petit Robert for iPad there is no better one volume monolingual dictionary currently available in print or in digital form than the Robert Alternatively Robert s Dixel is also a superb monolingual dictionary less scholarly than Le Petit but including more proper nouns and runs both on iPhones and iPads If you re not yet at the level that a first rate monolingual makes sense for you then this dictionary may in fact be just right for you I d still encourage you to stretch a bit by trying the Larousse bilingual however My compromise is to grumble about how clunky the Larousse bilingual is use it only when I m stuck and mostly use Le Petit Robert or the Dixel if my iPhone is the device at hand In the final analysis however it comes down to whether the underlying dictionary will support me In reading an article in Le Monde yesterday for an example I needed to look up 6 words Only one of them was present in this dictionary and the proposed definition was insufficient In contrast all 6 had good definitions in the bilingual Larousse and in Le Petit Robert None of those words was arcane the Sunday Le Monde magazine section is written after all for a wide but Francophone audience There s almost never a situation for which this Ultralingua bilingual remains the best choice for me A guiding principle one hears in one s study of Software Engineering is the desirability of designing for a low threshold and a high ceiling This dictionary provides the first but not the second             An excellent app carrying a beginner s dictionary Tburgueso

Not perfect but a good solid resource to have while reading French I have a large paper dictionary that is better for multiple meanings and slang but I have found this Ultralingua dictionary to be very useful                     Good useful JasWilliams

Restricted range of definitions for words that have multiple uses or connotations First word I looked up panache was given the wrong gender         So far not so good WIBMD

Need to add audio pronunciation             So far good Sincerely2

The best dictionary                     Excellent Dobry Lobuz

This is not formatted well for the iPad It s very sluggish and the screen space is not efficiently used up When you tap the help button you can t navigate out of it You have to close the entire app and start over if you want to loo up another word I don t reccommend this for iPad             Good dictionary Dudewhere's my bars
