WordReference Dictionary App Reviews

The most recent update mentions adding multitasking support for the iPad, which is extremely appreciated; however, it does not appear to be working as the app does not appear in the multitasking app list nor can split screen be enabled while the app is open Edit: Just realized the optimization for iPhone 6 (Plus) and newer devices was removed as well with this update, which makes the app once again look blown up and blurry on them Additional note: a very blurry version of the app icon also fills up the screen upon opening the app on iPad. Not sure if that is an app bug or an iOS bug

I love your website, partly because of the contextualized example sentences; however, unlike the website, this app has nearly only English examples when I need Spanish examples. Can this be fixed?

Not much in terms of layout, but if all you want is a reliable translation, this is as good as it gets.

The only online dictionary Im allowed to use for my language class. Translations are as close as it gets

Ive long used the web version of word-reference as it always has the most accurate and comprehensive translations for all the languages I use. Glad to have the app now. I have not experienced any of the aforementioned glitches. Thanks for the great tool.

Decent but it needs more native app and less web content. ***Bug alert: wont let me scroll down sometimes to bottom of screen. Please fix.***

Recently its only been letting me search in one language. Fix please!

This app has accurate translations. However, if I use it too long, it wont display the synonym page for spanish words. I have tried restarting the app and that does not solve the problem. Please fix, its very annoying!

I use this constantly to translate Spanish to English and it is very reliable and speedy. The examples of usage are very helpful. Outstanding!

It used to be optimized for large screen iPhones. Recent update REMOVED this optimization. Why are we going backwards?

Its a decent enough app, serves its purpose but the interface could be updated and tweaked. Also, I cant understand why this so-named dictionary-esque app doesnt function without a WiFi connection (i.e. for those individuals traveling abroad in areas without good WiFi coverage). Fingers crossed for an update that addresses these issues and more.

Very useful application with a variety of accents pronunciation!

One of the best resources for learning other languages. It was instrumental for my undergrad. I graduated top of my class with a degree in French.

I have had the Word Reference app on my classroom iPads for a few years. Its very easy to navigate. Personally, Ive used wordreference.com for more than 15 years for translation and interpretation. WR is better than many other dictionaries that Ive paid for.

The app is not usable since the last update, what happened??? Please change it quickly, its been a while already!!!

Theres still a f*cking window appearing (asking me for an internet connexion) everytime I try to type a word... Its not practical and I cant search peacefully in your dictionnary, what is the meaning of this?! Please correct it!!

The app crash so often and it is a shame because the dictionnary is really good

Since the last update, when a word needs to be translated in different languages, one is obliged to type it each time- a better lay out at the expense of practicality. What a pity as usually updating aims at improving the system not slowing it down!

Thank you so much for updating the application by returning to the old version that is working so well. The application is very useful by the way, I love it ! Keep it up.

Very very good app but the switch from the new version to the old one made me loose all the words I saved. AGAIN!!!! Very very disappointing...
