  Useful but needs cross-links, and be more complete

  I have this dictionary on both my computer and my iPhone. I use it a lot since I am a beginning French speaker. But cross-links that take me to the french side from a definition on the english side would be very useful, especially for the verbs. That way when I want to find the french verb for "to come" I see that it is "venir". Now I have to search for "venir" to get the conjugation. A pain. It is not well thought out for the user in mind. Also, I have found many instances where a french word is given from the english side, but when I want to see the conjugation, I type it in and it is not on the french side. For instance search for french verbs for "to forget". You get "omettre". Now I want to see the conjugation of "omettre", only to find "omettre" is not in the french dictionary. I find this too often. I do like that the verb conjugations are given for the french verbs. I have not shopped around for other french english dictionary apps, so for now I am stuck wiht this one. I must say that I do use it a lot though.

  Useful app for learning a new language

  I've been using this app while studying spanish and have found it very useful. I love the fact that it has not only present tense conjegations but also past and future tenses as well. I would have given it 5 stars, but not all verbs have the conjugations listed. For instance, the listing for spanish verb "andar" lists the definition, but not the conjugations. There are a few others that I have come across as well. Great app for the price.

  Resroucefull little tool

  This is an invaluable tool for me. Yes, it could have more words in it, but I love the fact that I can look up a verb in Italian, or Spanish and see how to properly conjugate that verb. I work in Italian, and consequently am learning Italian. I use this tool on a regular basis. It doesn’t have every word I need, but it is extremely useful. It is free (not even ads), give it a try. You will love it. Also in Preferences you can check the box to show paid version words… there are all those words I was looking for... I haven’t paid from them yet. I cannot think of a better way to give away your very resourceful dictionary for FREE and still make a living. I personally think it is a very nice app. I keep them on to remind me if I really need to, I can always buy the full app with more words.

  ok, lot of words missing

  for the people complaining about the price, thats to be expected, theres not a single foreign language dictionary for free that I can find. the app is ok, i use the spanish dictionary and there are quite a few words missing so if I don't have internet access to use google translate I have to wait to find out, which gets annoying. So please, One World, update frequently with more words. Also, every conjugation of a verb just says, for example with juegas; "conjugation of verb Jugar". It would be helpful if instead it linked directly to the root verb and highlighted the conjugation. I'll give it a 4 or 5 star rating if you add a more complete edition of the spanish dictionary and make a few tweaks. Since I bought it almost a year ago there hasnt been any major update, a little disappointing.
