Essential
Great daily aid to my German learning and likewise for my German friends english speaking. Was also a great accompaniment to German lessons. Waiting for IOS 8 bug fixes as the search facility is not functioning well....

Useless
Complete waste of £3.99. Don't buy for the one search reason as above. Larousse- when are you going to fix this???

Don't buy
Very disappointed with this app. I have been using the French version for several years with no problems. As mentioned by other reviewers, you can search once but then it doesn't work. A waste of money.

Used to work well, but stopped under latest OS on iPad
Still not working under iOS 7. Not been updated and fixed for a long time now. To use on iOS7 you need to come completely out of the App and start again. Crazy. Under the latest OS the search function only works once. When you have looked at a word, the search screen never returns. It was great, but now you have to clear the app from memory and restart for each new word. Needs an update!

This Larousse dictionary is broken
I own 3 iPhone Larousse translation Dictionaries: English/French, English/Spanish and English/German.
The 1st 2 dictionaries work OK, but the English/German Dictionary is broken.
The English/German Dictionary only allows 1 word search.
After making a 1 word search i cannot search the next word.
The text box is missing??? and the keyboard input is also missing.
Given that the app is the same look and feel as the French & Spanish dictionaries it should be an easy job to fix the broken code.
DONT BUY THIS APP UNTIL ITS FIXED!

Doesn't work with iOS7
Needs an update. Users can only search for one word before search function no longer works.

Does not work
The app does not work with iOS 7 you can check one word and then it freezes. Would give it minus stars but unable to do so. Very sad bought in good faith having to rely on other apps.

Sad student
This WAS brilliant. But since iOS7 update you can only do one search - then the keyboard disappears. I'll be deleting it and buying something else. So disappointed.

Needs a serious update.
It's only possible to make ONE search at a time!
You have to force close the app and restart to do another, new search.

Does not work with iOS 7
One can search once, but cannot then go back to search again. (Larousse French-English is OK)

Can't go wrong really.
Bought this because it was cheaper than the big name dictionaries who were charging a lot more. This does the job well, plays sounds for new words and show grammer tables for the words you're interested in. Actually has the translation for 'crumpet' which is brilliant. (Kleines rundes Hefeteigbrot zum Toasten, btw ;-))
If there is one fault, it doesn't have all the tenses for words you want to look for. So for example I can look up the word for 'Arbeit', 'work' in english, though you can't look up 'Arbeitest', but it is in the conjugation tables if you search for 'Arbeit'!
