Dico Malin is the most useful tool I have yet to use with the iPhone. I can check the spelling, correct word usage when I have to write in French. Plus the game is actually useful. I have never played any games on my iPhone or my Mac for that matter. Now with Dico Malin, I can actually make good use of my time while waiting at an airport or for an appointment as I learn new words! Way cool! Hope Diagonal make a French Enlgish dictionary for the iPhone soon. The one Diagonal makes for the Mac, along with their application, "ProLexis" is just fabulous for anyone learning French, teaching French, or writing in French. Thanks, Diagonal!


awesome!

It's just what we're looking for... easy to use and very useful. It would have been perfect if it has the audio function.

Great!

I needed a French/French dictionary for class and this app met my needs and more. It's easy to use and has numerous features that make this app a must have for anyone learning French. I love the fact that when you look up a word it allows you to tap on any other word in the definition and receive a definition for that word as well. Brilliant. Love it.


Most Excellent French Language App

Dudewhere's my bars

Etymology is the main reason I sought a French dictionary. This one has a ton of other features with it that make it probably one of the finest apps ever created for iOs 4. French students will delight in this app. The functionality is awesome. The ease of use is indescribable.


Formidable !

Le meilleur dico, et de loin ! Continuez comme ça !


Le Robert - Dixel French dictionary

Voltaire28

This is an excellent product for those who wish to use a totally French dictionary without English translations. Le Robert is very authoritative and comprehensive.Just about every word you are likely to encounter in contemporary French is included, along with helpful examples. French abbreviations are deciphered. The use of hypertext makes this a very easy to use reference work.Helpful conjugations of every possible tense also included. Some biographical and historical references are provided with particular orientation toward French culture. At $8.99 this is a bargain, in my opinion. Obviously not intended for those not familiar with the elements of the French language. Highly recommended.


An excellent monolingual French dictionary

Tburgueso

I'll write this review in English, assuming that the majority of the customers of Apple's US App Store are Anglophone, or are at least English-competent. This is a terrific value. The underlying dictionary is excellent; the use of many well-chosen usage examples, the presence of etymological information, IPA representations of pronunciations which might not follow phonetic norms, very thorough support for synonyms and antonyms, for conjugation of verbs, and for locutions make the definitions exceptionally useful. The addition of proper names to the normal lexical corpus is an interesting and useful one, saving many trips to the encyclopedia when "just enough" information suffices, for example, when an unfamiliar historical or political name is encountered while reading. The UI is very well-designed: layouts are clear, legible, and logical; there is a beautifully-designed hyperlink and history mechanism; control over the display font size makes it easy to read the entries; and full support for landscape mode makes reading large blocks of text - for instance in biographical entries - more like reading printed text. The inclusion of frequency information is decidedly non-typical, as is that of hyphenation information. Even the games are worth playing to increase one's vocabulary. I'd love to see the addition of lemmatized searches, phonetic searches, and the inclusion of IPA in every definition. I think the only equal to this monolingual French dictionary in the App Store is that by Éditions Larousse. Given that both the Robert and the Larousse are so reasonably priced for their quality, I'd suggest you buy them both. One is not better than the other, and the ability to compare high-quality definitions is often very useful in getting a full understanding of an unfamiliar word.


Best app ever

It works very well - quite a bargain

oui ou non

I have been using this for many months and it works flawlessly. One of my favorite uses is the verb conjugation, it works much better than the Collins bilingual dictionary. The locutions are also very helpful. I can't imagine being without this app.
