Larousse Español - Inglés App Reviews

Great dictionary for the money but needs an update

Ive used this app extensively during my 9 months in Spain, and for the most part it has been terrific... easy word look up, lots of examples in context and many full conjugations. You cant complain when the others of this caliber cost $20 or more. However the app needs to fix incomplete entries, and bugs with the accelerometer.

Useful, and needs improvement

I also would like to see hyperlinks. I enter an English verb. It shows me the Spanish verbs (transitive, intransitive) and other forms. If I want to see the conjugations of the Spanish verb I must switch modes and type the word. Gerund forms are present participles, I believe, so they are there.

Just shy of an amazing app - add a "bookmark" option

Please bring this app up to the quality of your other apps! These are 2 of the 3 most spoken languages in the world - why this is one of your only apps that hasnt been updated/universal eludes me. 1. Make this universal for all iOS devices. 2. Hyperlink between definitions would make navigation so much more fluid. 3. Add a "bookmark" option!! This is the big one - if youre trying to learn new words (or even a new language) its vital to be able to recall those words so that you can continue to quiz yourself. PLEASE add this option. The catalog of words coupled with the conjugations of the verbs makes this a useful app for on-the-go, but without the above features it falls short of a truly helpful one. I love your other products and frankly think your other dictionary offerings are the best in the entire store. Just bring this one up to the quality of the others!!!

Dont waste your money.

The app is much less sophisticated then I thought it should be for the money. I got another similar app for free that was much easier to use and has more definitions and better translations. I typed in ser, and my screenshot is not the same as the screenshot they give for examples. I want a refund...

In a Word...

Horrible. It does not even deserve the one star I must give it on this page. This is what the "World-Renowned-standard-by-which-all-others-are-measured" puts out?! Seriously?

The pronunciation of the word always fails. Do something to fix the pronunciation. Generally speaking, for this kind of price, its not too bad but it can be better. Also the sound does not work it keep on popping up " Attempt to play streaming audio failed" . No pronunciation of the word came up. Fix the problem. Please !!!

Worthless

This is designed to look like the high quality Larousse Enlglish/French dictionary, but is a cheap imitation. Dont waste your money. I want a refund for this worthless app.

Surpassed expectations

I have found it easy to use and fast. I recommend it to my friends. Recommended by my teacher. Not sure about the other reviews.

New update no audio

The latest update does not have audio on the iPad. This looks like the full Pequeno Larousse but it is not. The French Larousse is great, the Spanish is not as good.

Not worth the money.

After using the excellent Larousse French-English Dictionary I purchased this Spanish-English Dictionary with high expectations. Sadly this is a poorly conceived app with almost none of the functionality of its French cousin. To make matters worse I immediately encountered a technical glitch when the audio feature did not function. Repeated re-downloading of the app did not solve the problem. As for features, I will cite two examples, but there are others. In the French edition you can highlight a word in a definition (whether in French or English) and that word will appear on its own page, complete with its own definitions and synonyms. Thus if you do a search on the English word "work" you will see many French words AND phrases meaning or related to "work". Highlight any one of those French words or phrases and you will be taken to a page featuring that word or phrase. Once there the audio function will give you an accurate pronunciation of the word or phrase. I use this feature extensively. No such luck with the Spanish edition. Also, there is no bookmarks feature in my download feature. History, yes. Bookmarks, no. More sadly there doesnt seem to be an easy way to get a refund. Buyer beware. ONE star at best.

Good, but could be a lot better!

I really love this app! Its easy to use, provides translations and phrases but I think it could do much more, especially when you consider the price of the app. I have the Larousse French-English dictionary app in addition to this app and let me tell you, the French app is in another class! You can compile a list of starred/favorited words and look at your search history. Basically you can do much more and thats why I like the French app better than the Spanish app. I wish this app would do everything that the French app does.

Disappointing

This app does provide concise and helpful translations, but, the steaming audio does not work with or without WIFI.

A poor relation to Larousse French

I have had the Larousse French English and thought it was great. I bought the Spanish thinking it would be similar. Wrong. Not even close. There are no or few examples of usage or common expressions and the basic dictionary is inadequate. There are free apps that are as good.

Really Larousse ?

I need my money back, if they not upload your app.
