Collins-Robert Concise App Reviews

Poor dictionary

Bought this app because I own the paper version of Robert/Collins. This app is not even close to the paper version. Lots of words are missing, very few example sentences. Very disappointing.

Valuable bi-lingual dictionary

Good first level bilingual dictionary. Accurate and thorough. Should be used in conjunction with Le Robert all French dictionary ASAP to grow your vocabulary exponentially. Im speaking as a French teacher.

No updates

Also please implement the system wide back gesture.

Best money I ever spent

An elegant marvel. I use it everyday. It has great illustrative phrases. Easy navigation.

Excellent resource

Well worth the cost. Im now tackling more advanced novels in French since looking up words with this app is so easy. Nice to have all the verb conjugations so readily available as well.

This is a keeper

This has proven to bean extremely useful French-Englsh dictionary because, not only is the equivalent word in the opposite language displayed, several variations in usage and application of the word being researched are provided and the conjugations of verbs are accessible without having to move to a different section.Having used this for several years now, I have one picayune quibble, which is that the dictionary needs to be updated and expanded more frequently as when readin modern French books and magazines, I come across neologues and argot for which I then need to consult Larousse which does not provide the ancillary information on usage etc., that this one does. Definitely deserves five stars.

For beginners only

This dictionary has a very limited range of vocabulary. I would say its adequate for intermediate learners at best. Even free apps and google translate have a wider range of words. Definitely not worth the exorbitant price.

Mostly accurate for Americain English.

I use this app almost daily and find it excellent except when British spelling and usage dont correspond to Americain English.

Excellent Resource

Its been an excellent resource for my French studies. My phone is always with me so its always easy to look up new words especially when I cannot take my dictionary with me. A little pricey though and thats why Im taking away 1 star from my rating

Comprehensive

For a beginner its great to quickly find the English version of words. Further, will find the French word from English. Verb conjugation a huge plus.

Collins-Robert French-English Dictionary App

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.
