Al-Mawrid Al-Qareeb Arabic-English Dictionary App Reviews

60 add

Yes,but?!

How can we make search of a word From arabic to english?! The keyboard is not international!

not bad !

Very nice app, with audio pronouciation, however, there were not all the english words I was looking for. If you need to search an arabian word, you just need to previously deal with your keybord in settings>general>international keybords(directly in your iphone settings).

Does not work with iOS 4

All was well until I upgraded to iOS4. Now the app will not open. Please fix this.

Close to useless

The translation is presented in arabic letters - very, very small - NO AUDIO. For a native arabic speaker who is about to learn english quite ok, for somebody who needs/wants to learn arabic this APP - in this form - is almost useless.

vowels

please provide the words with their vowels, becuase for non-native students of arabic it is very difficult to try to guess how a word sounds without their vowels!

Its okay

There should be tashkeel - especially for the price being charged. Also the plurals..

Worse dictionary ever

The stupidest $15 I ever spent in my life, this dictionary misses at least 50-75% from words, almost cant find any word , Ill be very grateful if u take your app and give me my money back.

Really useful

So far its been useful. This edition is of course the abridged of the full al-mawrid. So as long as you keep expectations in check, its a worthy purchase. Intermediate and advanced beginners of Arabic would find this an efficient tool.

Not worth it

Dont buy it! Its not worth the 14$ So many words are missing, both in Arabic and English !

Almawrid is not worth

Its a waste of money... Not even worth one penny !!!

Great app but lacks new words

This app is a good companion but it needs database update as it is missing many words.

Done with this app

With the latest pathetic attempt to try and charge $20 Im so done with this. Many free and better apps out there to think you can actually charge that much is just sheer insanity.

Very disappointed

I am very disappointed the Al-Mawrid version for the iPhone has serious problems. Basic words such as "data" and "internet" are missing, the font size is very small (hardly legible), no plurals are given, and the imperfect form of verbs is not given. The state of Arabic dictionaries in general is truly awful, but I would expect such a famous dictionary as Al-Mawrid can do a little better than that.

Better improvements.

An ideal dictionary for me is bi lingual user interface ,because if we ,me and an Arab speaking person showing our iPhone or iPad dictionary and we both did not read well at least we could both see and navigate the dictionary settings and also Roman transliteration of Arabic and English. And bilingual user interface and how to use I wonder there is a word appearing in search field automatically which I used in a private e-mail ,strange ! , and the entries need a sentence to put the word in context ex numbers has several Arabic alternatives how do I know which one to use . Then like most Dictionaries I have used are not designed for speakers of both the languages that are entered in them This dictionary is made for Arabs learning English and not English speakers learning Arabic but I am patient InshaAllah. In Addition I have now discovered on opening the English Search field after deleting my e-mail account that a word I used in my private e-mail is gone so there is a privacy issue arisen here.

App cruch

The app crushes every time i open it on iphone 4s ios 7.1.1

Rip-off

Downloaded via AppZapp as a free app. When it launches it asks you to pay 14,99 euros and it does not even allow you to choose. Please forget this "app".

Dont waste your money on this trash

I paid GOOD MONEY for this piece of trash and now they want me to pay again.

Problem with restore purchases

Hi After update the app that I already purchased from long time I cant restore the purchase and the app now useless Need help please Thanks

DO NOT waste your money

Sorry can not do less than one star. Application was below average to say the least. Until the recent update. Thats when it became completely useless. Cannot restore the purchased word database, and the support team has been e-mailing back-and-forth to buy more time. Like: (are you using it with the same user ID). It is obvious that I couldnt have updated the application if I was using a different ID. I gave the team the invoice number, date and transaction number, they still insisted on a screenshot of the invoice.!!! Avoid this application and spend your money somewhere else. It is based on the same lying diplomacy the Russians are known for.

Dishonest

I already paid for the app, and now I cant use it unless i pay for the update. They should have told me it was a subscription not a one-time purchase.
