French dictionary DIXEL Mobile

Have always considered Le petit Robert the best French French dictionary and the Mobile Robert continues that same tradition.

This app is really great, smooth, helpful interface, lots of helpful information! But as a beginning French minor, I wish the the definitions had a translated definition. I do understand that it might be difficult to work in, especially since I'm sure the developers want it to appeal more to anyone, not just English speakers. Really helpful though, and I have a translation app for when I don't understand certain words. Great job!

I wish other developers of dictionaries could learn something from this incredible piece of art. I'm learning French and this dictionary is helping me a lot. I'm surprised how smoothy it runs both in my ipod touch and my ipad. I highly recomend this dictionary who anyone who's learning frech (in case you already speak french this is the best dictionary you could ever get). It has so many features that really enhance the learning experience. just get it, you won't regret it. My only suggestion to the developers would be to add audio to the entries (I honestly wouldn't mind to pay an extra 0.99 cents for that) prefferably downloadable so it could be used without internet connection. I also have dictionaries in English, Spanish and Italian and can't understand how come none of these developers have come even close to the high quality of this dictionary. So congratulations to Dixel movile for such a great app.

This dictionary is fantastic! I am a moderately advanced in my study of French, ready for a French only dictionary like this one. This new version includes phonetic characters indicating the pronunciation of every entry. It's very easy to find a word, and to find synonyms and especially expressions and locutions, which can be tough to find in other dictionaries.

le dictionnaire est très bon mais les jeux sont très mauvais.

Excellent app. Conjugation is very helpful and convenient to have. Would be great with sound.

I have been using this for many months and it works flawlessly. One of my favorite uses is the verb conjugation, it works much better than the Collins bilingual dictionary. The locutions are also very helpful. I can't imagine being without this app.

Mon iPhone est devenu mon dictionaire plutot que mon telephone.

I'll write this review in English, assuming that the majority of the customers of Apple's US App Store are Anglophone, or are at least English-competent. This is a terrific value. The underlying dictionary is excellent; the use of many well-chosen usage examples, the presence of etymological information, IPA representations of pronunciations which might not follow phonetic norms, very thorough support for synonyms and antonyms, for conjugation of verbs, and for locutions make the definitions exceptionally useful. The addition of proper names to the normal lexical corpus is an interesting and useful one, saving many trips to the encyclopedia when "just enough" information suffices, for example, when an unfamiliar historical or political name is encountered while reading. The UI is very well-designed: layouts are clear, legible, and logical; there is a beautifully-designed hyperlink and history mechanism; control over the display font size makes it easy to read the entries; and full support for landscape mode makes reading large blocks of text - for instance in biographical entries - more like reading printed text. The inclusion of frequency information is decidedly non-typical, as is that of hyphenation information. Even the games are worth playing to increase one's vocabulary. I'd love to see the addition of lemmatized searches, phonetic searches, and the inclusion of IPA in every definition. I think the only equal to this monolingual French dictionary in the App Store is that by Éditions Larousse. Given that both the Robert and the Larousse are so reasonably priced for their quality, I'd suggest you buy them both. One is not better than the other, and the ability to compare high-quality definitions is often very useful in getting a full understanding of an unfamiliar word.
