  • Useful, but mistake found on first use

    By neuroproff
    I downloaded the app to look up a single german word to make sure my english interpretation and german spelling was correct. Although the word I was looking up in it's primary meaning was represented correctly, further content using the same word was wrong. So, now I"m wondering how many mistakes are embedded that I can't figure out... Ill try to reach the company to make them aware of this mistake.

  • NOT worthed

    By Tudy01
    Many words not found in Spanish. It cannot translate a simple phrase like Cómo te llamas? Cannot search in the phrase book. Very basic interface, no crosslinks. The Mac Dictionary, which came free with your iMac, is much better. True it doesn't have a phrase book but One Worlds is not any good.

  • Very limited

    By rokn-doc
    This dictionary lacks many words that are commonly used in speaking. For example “draguer” to dredge. Does not indicate other definitions such as to flirt, to pick up. Also does not appear to define slang expressions.

  • Resroucefull little tool

    By Sir_Mac
    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.

  • French-English dictionary addition worth it

    5
    By Tucker Gaegauf
    I needed a robust French-English dictionary to work offline, and the in-app French-English dictionary did just the trick. I would have been satisfied with just a complete dictionary, but this app went above and beyond and provided native speaker pronunciations to each word and a complete conjugation table for each verb, which has helped improve my French even more. Overall the dictionary is very complete, runs smoothly, and ultimately was worth every penny.

  • Good but word library needs expansion

    By ammaryk
    The app is great. I am just starting to learn german so its been very helpful. But the library is a bit lacking, on more than one ocassion, I came across words that I did not find on the app.

  • it’s useful but not the best i’ve come across

    By Trishnizil
    I’m an aspiring linguist and therefore I download several dictionary apps all of the time! I can especially speak for french-engish languages when I say this app is okay. my main problem with it is its search facility does not take into account conjugated words. In other words, you must know the original form of a verb for instance, in order for the search engine to find it in details.

  • Great for Spanish and French, Ok for Italian

    By UW Italian
    It’s a great and conveniet app, but I find the Italian dictionary to be lacking, though I’m impressed with the French and Spanish. I use all three for my courses, as a quick and easy reference, but sometimes can’t find basic words or translations for Italian. Great for other languages, though!
