Pros and cons of Dictionnaire de français app for iPhone and iPad
Dictionnaire de français app good for
There seems to be problems in playing sound on the iPad Pro
Ole Frank
Dictionary is very useful and the quotations section is a nice bonus. One thing I did not like is that there are no cross references so if you see a word you do not know you cannot just click on it to go to its definition.Pronunciation information is also missing.
They corrected the audio button problem and we can finally listen to words prononciation! Very Good!
This is a great French dictionary. I love that it has audio and bookmarks. Highly recommended!
PS: Thanks for fixing the audio issue!
After upgrading to ios6 this application remained locked in landscape mode. I have deleted and reloaded with no remedy. If it werent for this annoying inconvenience, this app. could be qualified as the best french dictionary available on ipad. The developer is expected to urgently interfere and correct the problem.
good level dictionary complete with typical expressions and verbs
Some bad moments
Decent content, but poor user interface, and not yet updated to iOS 7 (let alone 8)
This is why I dont pay for apps.
I bought this mainly for the conjugation feature, and it doesnt work (Im running OS 3.0 on an iPod Touch).
The app crashes every time I try to conjugate a verb.
One of the most important things I was looking for was the pronunciation but I cant hear it, unfortunately it doesnt work on my iPhone 6. Can you guys fix it???
Overall a very nice app, but it has some fatal problems.
1. When the system language is set to anything other than French, "conjugaison" function does not work at all. The app always crashes when the button is tapped.
2. When the system language is not French, the explanations in the start-up screen becomes empty.
3. When the system language is not French, the buttons to switch the functions are unnecessarily translated into English. Who want them in English when this is a "Dictionnaire de français"?
4. There is no function to change the font size. Although the overall layout is beautiful and clear, the font appears too small to read longer texts.
For an app costing €5, these issues are rather embarrassing. Developers, please fix them as soon as possible.
This is a good app with valuable content. However, it needs improvements.
Please automatically clear out the current word and focus the text field when I touch Search in navigation bar. I find myself repeatedly deleting current word in order to look up new word.
Echo what everybody else has said. Poor UI and no Siri integration!!! Harper Collins has it and for free. Having voice recognition would help my kids tremendously since French is a second language for them.
