Latest reviews of Ultralingua French-German app for iPhone and iPad
Huge deception. I bought Ultralingua French-German dictionary for iPad for my wife, who is French, to supplement Pons English-German dictionary. Having two dictionaries should give a fuller picture of the language - I thought - and may help me with both German and French. Ultralinguas reviews seemed very favorable. (New York Times: "My favorite…", etc.) Now Ive begun using it, and, yes, it has a couple nice features, BUT there are NO pronunciations of the German words. We want to know German in order to speak with Germans. Pronunciation is critical to verbal communication. A dictionary without pronunciation loses half its value. There are plenty of dictionaries with pronunciation; its pointlesss to buy one without. My advice to potential purchasers: dont buy Ultralingua until they add pronunciation guides. My advice to Ultralingua: go back to the drawing board.
Still waiting for the update until then its not usable at all. Just crashes right after the launch.
A proverb says tha the best is the enemy of the good. I think that it is what happened with the Ultralingua dictionnaries (I have three of them), they are surely not more useful than the previous version! And before I could chose the right one instantly by looking at the flag on their respective icon. Now I need to put on my reading glasses to read the barely readable text on the icon!
BRING BACK OLD INTERFACE - as option perhaps. OR FIVE NE MY MONEY BACK!! The new gUI is not efficient. Also the colors are odd.
