Collins French-English App Reviews

Good but no audible pronunciation. Great dictionary but the omission of audible pronunciations -- when every cheap dictionary is able to provide it -- is an egregious oversight and a nuisance for the user because they have to go to a second app for this purpose.

THE best French dictionary!. I love everything about this dictionary app, but the thing I love the most is that you can input a conjugated verb and it will give you the infinitive and the meaning. Other dictionaries do not do this and you have to search and search. So glad I bought this dictionary, merci beaucoup !

Kinda disappointed. Perhaps it is simply user error/lack of technological know-how, but honestly I liked the version of this dictionary on the Internet rather than the app itself, because I have not been able to determine how to find examples of a given word used in different sentences, which was available on the free Internet version.

The BEST!. I’ve been struggling for weeks with those other French dictionary apps. Yes, they’re free or far less expensive, but they also don’t have as many words, nor do they have the feature most needed by beginner students - the feature that allows you to look up a verb in its conjugated form and find the root word! Yay Collins! Then I thought the text to speech feature was going to be robotic and terrible like the others, but it’s not! It’s fantastic. Now, I’m a beginner and can’t really say how accurate the pronunciation is, but it sounds French to me! Such a relief after nothing but frustration with the other 3 apps I had before. They are all deleted now, as this one has it all!

This dictionary should be improved. Otherwise, it is useless.. I was expecting a dictionary that has a chart that shows IPA International Phonetic Alphabet, not a link to Wikipedia that is useless. Also I expected the IPA chart can give tips about each symbol such as an equivalent or similar sound in English. Also each word with a recording option where we can say the word and the system could tell us if we are doing the pronunciation right.

Outstanding. I bought all Collins dictionaries in every language and they are the best, however it needs iCloud syncing for favorite words.

Excellent Dictionary!!. I thoroughly enjoy using this excellent French Language Dictionary!

Incorrect translation English to French. I searched “ride” (English) meaning transport, in French. The app gave “wrinkle...” which is the translation of “ride” (French) into English. I tried several other translations from English to French which worked normally. A glitch to correct...

The best French dictionary app you could buy!. This is honestly the best French-English dictionary app you could buy! Worth every penny and then some. An excellent, very well thought out user interface makes using this app easy and facilitates learning. Tap on any word to go to it’s definition. Tap and hold on any word to speak it’s pronunciation. Tap on any verb to go to it’s conjugation. Multiple usage examples. Easy to use verb conjugation tables. I highly recommend this app.

Wonderful dictionary. I love this dictionary so much! I have resisted buying a dictionary app for years, but now I’m kicking myself for waiting so long. You have a wealth of definitions at your hand as well as full verb conjugations. You can enter a conjugated verb and it will tell you the verb it’s conjugated from. There have been some words not in here, but so far, very few. Buy this thing; you won’t regret it!

Racine on a hand-held. This is a competent, professional attempt to put a highly sophisticated language into the palm of your hand. Collins is a very good company, and is much helped here by the small vocabulary of French (compared to the unwieldy empire of English). Of course it’s not enough. Secondary meanings are skimped, old forms are not much given, rare words become rarer here. This app will do much more than let you say “Ung cafe seel voo play.” It will certainly let you talk to persons other than Mademoiselle D’Armentieres. It is fine for office and ordinary letters. If you want to read Racine, the Medieval romances and Bossuet you need a big paper dictionary. Oxford or Larousse, probably

Always quit when I try to use pronunciation. This is quite useful, and for 17.00 bucks it’s not cheap either. I purchased an electronic dictionary precisely because I want to hear the word. However, it always quit when I highlight the word and select “speak”. I tried on both my phone and my iPad. Just does not work. Very frustrating.

Dictionnaire Robert. Le plus souvent je trouve une bonne traduction sauf pour les mots un peu ésotériques, j’attendrais mieux d’une dictionnaire comme le Robert.

Well worth the money. Yes there are a bunch of free translator apps and online dictionaries, and this one is neither free nor cheap, but it’s worth every penny. It’s very easy to use, and the information provided for every word is comprehensive, usually with sentences provided to show how the word works. This is especially useful for figures of speech or word usages that don’t directly translate. For example, you may “practice” piano in English but you “work” piano in French. The listing for practice explains that sort of thing. It also has complete conjugation tables for every verb, which are provided directly after the definition(s). I love this app!

I Demand a Refund. I bought this app for the IPA pronunciation, but the character that indicates nasalization (the squiggly Tilda) doesn’t line up with the nasalize vowels, and other times they fall even outside the word. Do these people understand the meaning of quality control? If not, they can look it up in their own dictionary.

Collins English-French Dictionary. The $A25 version is much better than the $A10 version which I bought initially. It offers sample sentences to give context and ways of using a word. Also the verb conjugation feature is wonderful, a feature no paper dictionary could match. I wish I had bought this version ages ago.

Greatest app for learning French. Great dictionary app with many uses of the words! I hope I might create folder and sub-folders categorise my favourite words soon

Good all-rounder. This is my first port of call as a dictionary & for conjugations. It’s pretty well laid out. I gave it four stars out of five because: 1. Sometimes the English translations lack breadth (then I will go to Oxford-Hachette, DeepL, Linguee, or Bescherelle Synonymes and one of more of the the first three)*. 2. It can sometimes be a bit painful getting back to start a fresh search. * I’m now at CEFR level B1.3 at Alliance Française, so am beginning to approach nuances in in meaning, and broadening my vocabulary.

Invaluable. I’m a French student and I find this app invaluable. Quick to use, and the different examples of contexts for using a word or phrase are really useful, as are verb conjugations. It’s replaced two dictionaries for me.

Question. I need to know how to get back to the total dictionary after searching for a verb conjugation. Each time I do that it only searches for verbs and I have to turn my iPad off and restart it. Very frustrating. Thanks.
