« Yes it requires you know some basic French but this is a fantastic guide to the French language and an awesome example of what the iPhone can do. It is wonderful in its scale and also brilliant in its use of the iPhone interface. Anyone developing a reference work for the iPhone should try this to see what can be done. A benchmark in programming. Well done Druide! »
« Requires some prior knowledge of the language, but if you want a reference to the French language then look no further. An extraordinary amount of information and background material, presented in attractive, intuitive and wonderfully-interlinked ways. Well worth the money. I honestly can't imagine a better reference guide. »
« First off, it is a remarkable app, both in scope and content, as well as having an elegant interface. Having just purchased the Webster's dictionary app, I was immediately struck by how much more bang for buck you get with this. A number of dictionaries are included to help dissect words as only the French can do. These include conjugations, synonyms, usages, even a wildcard lookup dictionary for crossword puzzles. In short, this contains what I purchased in 3 different English reference apps. There are also scores of available papers or articles on topics such as grammar, spelling, usage, etc. [...] If you have at least an intermediate reading level and desire a comprehensive French reference, you will not regret this purchase. »
