One World Dictionary App Reviews

I love that its free. Its easy to find words and get translations. You can learn to pronounce words, thats the most important.

Lookup words doesnt work in Mountain Lion, cant lookup words in Safari, for example, very annoying. Single word pronunciation in French is decent, but Phrasebook is useless - intonation and dynamics of machine reading is wrong most of the time. Nethertheless, if lookup function is resolved in the next update - its a pretty decent dictionary to read French websites and improve your vocabulary.

i like that it has different languages that you can choose from, however still learning it and dont know how to keep it on my desktop. despite that it has most of the words i usaually look for in spanish. it great

for the people complaining about the price, thats to be expected, theres not a single foreign language dictionary for free that I can find. the app is ok, i use the spanish dictionary and there are quite a few words missing so if I dont have internet access to use google translate I have to wait to find out, which gets annoying. So please, One World, update frequently with more words. Also, every conjugation of a verb just says, for example with juegas; "conjugation of verb Jugar". It would be helpful if instead it linked directly to the root verb and highlighted the conjugation. Ill give it a 4 or 5 star rating if you add a more complete edition of the spanish dictionary and make a few tweaks. Since I bought it almost a year ago there hasnt been any major update, a little disappointing.

I keep the One World dictionary window open as I study Rosetta Stone since once in a while there is a word that I just cant "get". I would like to see all spellings used such as plural and tenses defined since it is difficult to find a meaning when you are in the dicitonary dark.

Simple, easy to use, very helpful. It makes learning a language so much easier. Worth much more than it costs.

The free version is quite good, and with a system-wide keystroke to look up a highlighted word, it is also incredibly rapid. If a word I need is part of the paid upgrade, I usually flip over to Google Translate instead. However, if I continue to use the product regularly, I would seriously consider purchasing the upgrade.

This is a great French dictionary for my French I course. It conjugates all the verbs, always gives proper genders for nouns, and has a really intuitive interface. The breadth of the words seems to be fine for my course, but it does seem to be missing some words. I have set it as a keyboard shortcut with Alfred and it is quick and easy to access, much, much faster than a written dictionary. great app!

One World Dictionary is a great application — Im learning Spanish, and it has good support for conjugations, its well put together, and has reasonably complete word lists. My primary complaint is with the popups asking me to rate the application. It does have an option to "Dont Ask Me Again", but unfortunately it doesnt work. If not for the annoying popups (which I am writing this review to get rid of), it would be a 5-star application.

This free dictionary and phrasebook is very helpful. The pronounciation of the words and phrases are excellent. My only disappointment is that I wish the dictionary had more words. I would be willing to pay a price for that.

Firstly, this review is for the full, paid version, not the free one. This generally is a very handy tool, and if the word you want is in there, everything is great. Sort of amazed that some common and essential Spanish verbs like "andar" are missing. Andar is usually considered on the the "Top 55" essential Spanish verbs. Merendar is also missing. Seems very odd to me. I only used the Spanish dictionary part, so this is not a review of any other language.

Ive been using this app while studying spanish and have found it very useful. I love the fact that it has not only present tense conjegations but also past and future tenses as well. I would have given it 5 stars, but not all verbs have the conjugations listed. For instance, the listing for spanish verb "andar" lists the definition, but not the conjugations. There are a few others that I have come across as well. Great app for the price.

Love the product. Am in my fourth year French and the upgraded version has all I need for class and homework. Great customber support is also appreciated by this user.

Im disappointed. Sure, its a dictionary. But it doesnt even give plurals of nouns. It has a lot of verb conjugations, Ill give it that. The definitions are just lacking. In order to get all the information I need I still have to refer to Ultralinguas dictionary on my iPhone. I expected FAR more from a Mac OSX application. After spending $13, I guess I wanted a more full-featured dictionary. It does integrate with the German voice available as part of OS X, so it speaks the word to you in German, which is nice. Id really like to have the ability to record my pronunciation of a word and then contrast that with the way it should be pronounced. Before that, Id like to have better coverage of nouns. This is just OK - not great by any means.

Great app. It would be worlds better if it didn’t keep asking me to rate it all the time.

I have this dictionary on both my computer and my iPhone. I use it a lot since I am a beginning French speaker. But cross-links that take me to the french side from a definition on the english side would be very useful, especially for the verbs. That way when I want to find the french verb for "to come" I see that it is "venir". Now I have to search for "venir" to get the conjugation. A pain. It is not well thought out for the user in mind. Also, I have found many instances where a french word is given from the english side, but when I want to see the conjugation, I type it in and it is not on the french side. For instance search for french verbs for "to forget". You get "omettre". Now I want to see the conjugation of "omettre", only to find "omettre" is not in the french dictionary. I find this too often. I do like that the verb conjugations are given for the french verbs. I have not shopped around for other french english dictionary apps, so for now I am stuck wiht this one. I must say that I do use it a lot though.

It’s a great and conveniet app, but I find the Italian dictionary to be lacking, though I’m impressed with the French and Spanish. I use all three for my courses, as a quick and easy reference, but sometimes can’t find basic words or translations for Italian. Great for other languages, though!

I’m an aspiring linguist and therefore I download several dictionary apps all of the time! I can especially speak for french-engish languages when I say this app is okay. my main problem with it is its search facility does not take into account conjugated words. In other words, you must know the original form of a verb for instance, in order for the search engine to find it in details.

The app is great. I am just starting to learn german so its been very helpful. But the library is a bit lacking, on more than one ocassion, I came across words that I did not find on the app.

I needed a robust French-English dictionary to work offline, and the in-app French-English dictionary did just the trick. I would have been satisfied with just a complete dictionary, but this app went above and beyond and provided native speaker pronunciations to each word and a complete conjugation table for each verb, which has helped improve my French even more. Overall the dictionary is very complete, runs smoothly, and ultimately was worth every penny.
