Collins-Robert French-English Dictionary App
Randuccio
Excellent in giving lots of examples of usage. There are errors though, especially in the conjugations, so I keep my Larousse and my Bescherelle handy. However, the convenience of the app on a smartphone is unbeatable, so this Collins-Robert is my go-to.
Excellent

Excellent French-English dictionary. As a beginner student of French, I wish the dictionary provided IPA for the inflected forms of the verbs.
Worth the money

This is expensive by app standards especially for something you can get dozens of for free. But you'll be bothered by ads with those and, worse, you won't find words unless you enter them in unconjugated original form with no prefix or suffix. This dictionary is just much more useful and pleasing.

Very helpful, detailed reference particularly when used as a second resource after Google translate. Explains idioms and acronyms.
Very helpful

Well worth the investment - good idiomatic uses as well as explanations. Verb conjugations are useful. Flipping between French and English is easy. Multiple meanings are explained well.
The gold standard in translation dictionaries!

I have 3 different Collins-Robert dictionaries and have never found a better dictionary!
Spotty

Having just read the first few pages of "Une ténébreuse affaire" with this dictionary aiding me, I can report that it is almost useless for reading works written before 1900 or so. Missing: coutil, guêtre, carnier, loup-cervier, factieux, rave (meaning betterave). Coverage is spotty.
Change of heart

I've gone from disliking this app to using it every day. I was wrong before. I should have taken time to get to know it and understand it, and now I have. I value it not only for helping me with my French pronunciation, but for providing a seemingly endless number of relevant examples for almost every word I look up. This app has become indispensable to me, and I'm grateful for everything it provides! Keep those examples coming!
Initial Confusion was Unfounded

I was a bit confused when I first used this application. However after reading the introduction and the tips and tricks, I have found that this is an absolutely fantastic dictionary. It provides quite a few examples for each entry and is easy to use after just a minute or two.
