REVIEWS

"Ultralingua has been an invaluable tool for me! I travel outside of the United States with some regularity. Ultralingua Spanish has helped me expand my vocabulary and help with conversations and written correspondence. Its also helped me understand a lot of the signs and informational placards that are posted. It has really boosted my confidence when traveling abroad!"

"I have your Spanish/English and have been using it for many many years. I love this app so much that I tell everyone I possibly can about it. Every time one of my friends gets a new iPhone and asks me what apps they should get this is at the top of my list."

"Im an undergrad linguistics major, and youre apps have helped immensely so far with learning foreign languages!"

"With an Italian father-in-law, a German mother-in-law, and Mexican parents, the languages fly fast and loose in my family! I am in need of help with my German, and your dictionary is a Great help!"

"Ive been learning Italian with the Ultralingua App and my study group have been impressed with the ability of quick searching whereas the traditional dictionaries take ages. The Conjugation has been an excellent way for a very quick verification."

"This app simply works. Its not filled with gimmicks, its intuitive, its the best!"

"Working in translation, your apps offer me immediate access to a wealth of information whenever I am on the go. Keep up the good work!"

"As a notary, I use languages each day and in all kinds of settings (legal, personal or commercial). I love your apps (I have French and Spanish) and think they are one of the most useful apps I actually use every day! Keep up the good work!"

Pros and cons of Ultralingua app for iPhone and iPad

Ultralingua app good for

So, I havent written many reviews on iOS apps, but feel this one is deserving of it. As I study and teach languages Ive found this application to be my constant companion. I love that it can be used on both iPhone, iPod and iPad with the same license and wish there was more integration with the MacOS version. Please bring the MacOS flash card feature to the iOS version and sync the two would be all I can imagine as possible improvements. I feel this is the dictionary standard on which all will be compared and judged. Keep up the great work. I also want to mention the Bookshelf app that unites their various dictionaries is brilliant and something that others can only dream of.
This collins app gave the good idea to collect all their most favorite and compete dictionaries in one app. Regularly update of this app is one the most advantage of this app
Bought the 2.99 app. Its a thesaurus for French or Eng, not a translator. Has verb conjugater. Prob. worth $2.99.
Its very good dictionary , I suggest to add Swedish language , I need it .
I use it heavily for Italian and French in an academic setting.
My husband and I have Ultralingua with us all the time for communicating with Spanish speaking friends. We can move quickly between languages and the grammar is now more accessible than ever. Includes lots of common expressions too. I hope to see even more expressions in the future.

Some bad moments

It boasts having had become better: it even does not reinstall the earlier purchased dictionaries. Damn with their all thumbs greed!!!
I happen to like the dictionary, I have it on my Mac for the 3 languages I speak but am extremely disappointed that purchases do not transfer from my Mac to my Mobile devices so the "solution" offered by app support was to buy all 3 again ($60) or they could refund me my Mac purchase so I could buy them for my mobile devices. None of the 2 options solves the real issue which is I expect to have full portability.
This app stops audio playback as soon as you enter it. Very annoying.
Im having trouble opening the Bookshelf app, crashes every time I open it. Ive asked Ultralingua twice to help, no response either time. I cant use any of the dictionaries at all. Prior to this problem, I really liked and used the app a lot. Be aware that their customer service is no support whatsoever. :( I have a new iPad Pro on iOS 10.
Publicité mensongère c est payant une étoile car on ne peut pas mettre 0 Its not free you have to pay if u want to use it just one start because I cant put 0
Dictionaries are what they are but the application itself is really poor : - you must type a word completely to view it ! Typing only first letters does nothing. - no soundex search. This is a shame for a dictionary application It would be really useful if favorites could be synchronized via iCloud or Dropbox... Perhaps in a future version... But this app is not really developed anymore I think.

Usually Ultralingua iOS app used & searched for

bookshelf, biblioteca, and other. So, download free Ultralingua .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
