Exactly what I need
Cardshark60
Just moved to France, and I have only one year of middle school French under my belt. Up to now, I've relied upon my not-so-little "pocket" dictionary, but it's both too bulky to actually put in a pocket and lacking in what one really needs when learning a language, living here, traveling, etc.: those fine distinctions, subtle differences in meaning, and, most of all, lots and lots of examples. So I knew I needed something else. I gulped very, very hard at the idea of spending so much, but I NEEDED it... How has it turned out? How practical is it? Suffice it to say, I'd pay twice as much if I had to. A great dictionary is indispensable when learning a language or living/traveling somewhere. And this is a great dictionary. Best of all, it fits in my pocket with ease.
Update went smoothly
Lisianne
No problems, update fine, seems to work as before, and very helpful overall for the French student.
Don't waste your money

I'd heard good things about this app, but thus far precisely none of the words I've looked up--"prescience", "grits", and "sprocket"--are in the dictionary. Had I known this prior to purchase, I would have continued to do what I've always done, which is to type the English term + "French" into my phone's internet browser ("sprocket french" for example) and arrive at the translation I'm looking for. The ludicrous price tag on this app has left me with nothing but an incurable case of buyer's remorse.
Update is a dud

If you haven't updated, don't. If you are thinking of buying, wait. I have used this product in French language school in Paris since September. Content is fantastic. It is worth the money if you are seriously studying French. It has a fantastic dictionary with many expressions, and the conjugation tables are a huge help. Unfortunately, the latest update crashes constantly and is not worth the money until these issues are resolved.
Great App

Very easy to navigate, clean and convenient interface. Waiting for update to fit the new iPhone 5 screen size!!
Indispensable
Le Pouet
Je l'utilise presque tout les jours. Il est très complet et est facile à utiliser. Recommandé pour toute personne vivant dans un pays anglo saxon.
What Happened

After the latest update which includes iPhone 5 support, I can no longer search for words in French or in English. When I touch the search bar, nothing happens. This is a great App, but this problem needs to be fixed ASAP!
Flexible French / English Dictionary
Thomas Steffens
This is not just a simple translation dictionary. It covers the complexity of language and gives you many ways of dealing with this complexity. You must read the instructions carefully to get full benefit from this dictionary. In some ideal sense it is impossible to translate from one language to another as each language is ultimately idiomatic. But this is addressed implicitly by this dictionary. It must be one of the best.
