Features available in this free cut-down version:
CROSSWORD: Tap on the start of a word to see the clue (English translation) corresponding to a French word. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the French word. To help you if necessary, tap '?' to reveal the next letter.
WORDSEARCH: A selection of French words is hidden in a grid of letters. Tap the left and right arrows at the bottom of the screen to cycle through the corresponding English. When you find a word, touch the first letter of the word and drag your finger to the last letter. If you get stuck, tap '?' for a clue (a star will flash around the middle of the word whose English is currently displayed at the bottom of the screen).
LETTERMAN: Similar to hangman, but with a twist. On each turn, guess a letter from the randomly selected French word. You start with a number of "lives", and lose a given number of lives for each wrong guess. How many lives you lose depends on how common the letter is: 'E' loses 4 lives, 'R' and 'T' lose 3 lives, down to uncommon letters such as 'J' and 'Z' which only lose 1 life. The colour of the keys on the keyboard indicates the number of lives you lose for a wrong guess.
The full "French Vocab Games" app, available from the App Store, is ad-free and features a total of 9 activities and 20 vocabulary topics, along with an optional audio pronunciation feature to ensure that you are learning the correct pronunciations of all 1,200 items of French vocabulary.

French Fun

I thought this was a fun little game to help enforce my French vocab :)
Inaccurate

A fun way to reinforce your French vocabulary, but be aware of inaccuracies. In the crossword game there was a clue for "cuisine, cookery" and the answer should be "cuisine" but they have "cousine" as the answer. "Cousine" is a female cousin; no dictionary on my shelf or online shows "cousine" to mean "cookery." This made me not want to pay money for the full version.
Good

Another good creation by the Javamex UK developers !! I like the update a bit, with the pronounciation. I had so much fun while learning french, it was more like my French Test but in a fun way !! I had no problems using this app till now and I wish I dont have any other problem later !! Good Job and thank you for creating this app !
