Excellent App

This app covers a wide range of vocabulary: it is, after all Larousse’s “unabridged” French-English dictionary! So high marks for that, as it often has that obscure word that the others don’t (the only other recourse is apps like ‘Le Petit Robert’, ‘Le Robert Mobile’ or ‘Larousse Dictionnaire de français’ if you can read French reasonably well).
Unfortunately, it has omitted verb conjugations which the standard Larousse English-French dictionary treats very well with full conjugations for every verb.
It has links to high-quality sound files from native speakers for all the headwords and for a very large number of illustrative phrases and sentences. This is very useful for refining one’s pronunciation.
This app would score a top 5 if it included verb conjugations, especially considering its low price. Highly recommended.

Content reasonable but features poor

Sound doesn't work on ipad and there are no verb conjugations which is a feature of the cheaper version. No response from Larousse when contacted by email. Not worth the money. Very disappointed.

Don't bother

The audio stopped working and it no longer provides pronunciations. This was why I spent so much buying this app in the first place. No updates are available, no support is offered. Very disappointed!
