Collins-Robert Concise App Reviews

Version 1.5.2 For the price of this app, iPhone 5 screen resolution should be supported by now. Version 1.2.5: The verb conjugator is nice, but it would be better if they could lay out all the tenses on a single scrollable screen (like Antidote Mobile) as that would make it more useful. As it stands, you have to know the name of the tense you need (plus-que-parfait, passé antétieur, etc.) or go through each tense until youve come to the one you know you want, but just didnt know the name for.

In my own humble opinion, although not perfect by any means this is clearly the best English-French dictionary for iphone. Too expensive you say? Well you get what you pay for!!!! If the price bothers you, then go buy one of those crappy cheap dictionaries. Even some of the 5-10$ ones are pure garbage. Dont waste your time........get quality right off the bat.

I highly recommend this app. It has been a lifesaver for learning French. But I would like to see a separate section included in the app for verb conjugation. Please dont sit idle, however, as there are words missing that need to be added to the dictionary.

Was a great app until the last update. Now the horizontal and vertical are messed up, and the keyboard covers the search results. Fix this app.

Thanks for fixing the bug quickly

Same level of great content, but looks much slicker now. Thanks for updating, not re-releasing!

Pros: -no need to select translation direction. Every bilingual dictionary needs this feature. -you can select which translations to copy -excellent quality translations Cons -there must be better uses for the sidebar. What a massive waste of space. -no highlighting feature. This would be great for languages such as English, which have so many possible meanings for so many words. -history and favorites should be accessible from the top bar. -no flashcards for reviewing -no audio -no paragraph translation feature (like Pons and Midori have) -no way to organize favorites into groups or export them. Other apps let you email them -no wildcard or example searches

Yes, it is an very nice little concise dictionary, but you can buy the Larousse English-French dictionary with many more words and audio pronunciation for $4.99. Considering the price of Larousse this dictonary should be selling for no more than $3.99.

This is the best iPhone and iPad French-English dictionary available. First, it is a solid bi-lingual dictionary. (The best dictionary was Harraps, but that is no longer available on iOS. Its only available in hardcopy.) The rewrite of the app has taken some of the great features of the companys other Ultralingua app and applied them here. In particular, I really appreciate the ability to change the font size. Also, the app is pretty quick to find words. Great job!

BRING BACK OLD INTERFACE - as option perhaps. OR FIVE NE MY MONEY BACK!! The new interface is not efficient.

I already speak French having been an immersion student in the 1960s but my vocabulary is rusty after many decades of non-use. What I was looking for was an app that didnt assume that I was a beginner trying to learn the language. This app fits the bill with a solid word count, plenty of usage phrases and a smooth user interface on the iPad. I do wish it was possible to search beyond just the dictionary entries. For example, being able to search for two word phrases such as "wrong turn" in the usage entries would be of great value.

Its maybe not cheap, but its good - I reckon its worth the coin...very easy/fast to get to what you need, no internet required and generally easy on the eye. Ive completely abandoned my paper French-English dictionary for this; I use it every day. Works fine on an iPhone, but with the bigger real estate of an iPad its very nice to use. If you consider the 100s of hours youll spend studying french, why would you want some pos toy app for $0.99?

It is claimed to be able to tap on in the browser but not working. Just waste of money!

This App is one that I use everyday and during French Class. I highly recommend it, as it is worth every penny

This app sucks! A waste of money! No sound for pronunciation...a disappointment! I rate this purchase at zero...no stars....this comment wouldnt send without a star, so I am rating it with one star but I do not mean it, I really am rating it as ZERO stars.

Excellent and comprehensive dictionary. I like that it is offline too.

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

This is expensive by app standards especially for something you can get dozens of for free. But youll be bothered by ads with those and, worse, you wont 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.

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.
