Great for words, Not so Great for phrases
Probably one of the most comprehensive dictionaries for words, but there are close to no phrases.
A heavily used and favorite app
I love this app. I went on an exchange in Germany and used this app daily. It was wonderful. It not only gives you the translation of almost any word, but it gives you some conjugations and how it is used as well. I'm completely satisfied with this app. I wish there was a Nifty Words for Italian too!

Does't not help
Can't match with other professional dictionaries.
Good app with room to improve
I haven't checked other German-English dictionaries, so I can't tell if this is the best or if there are better ones available. As for this one, it is good
Pros:
Decent coverage of everyday phrases.
Search after 3 characters in both languages is very useful and convenient
Price is OK
Cons:
When I was checking out the app extension I found a typo "standart" in the welcome screen. That does not give my high confidence in the spelling accuracy.
Way too much focus on British English provided that the are approx. 6 times more Americans around.
Recommendation: get a native American speaker involved in a version 2.0

Beste
I have been through many language apps, and I study German the most. So far, I trust and use this app the most. I really wish thus developer would do more languages.
Great
This is a really quick, accurate, and respected source. I am learning German and I prefer this to google translate. And for only 99¢ it's a good deal!
Best of the bunch, but that's a low bar
Spending 80 hours in Munich studying German. There is no single perfect dictionary, except the several inch thick paper variety. Of the 4 I've cycled through, this is the one I reliably go to & find mostly correct translations quickly & easily. It's a relatively small dictionary, but for everyday words is great. Biggest complaint is that the 'neuter' or das symbol looks too much like symbol for feminine, at least on iPhone screen - whether right or not, please make it more distinct! (I'd add a star if they'd fix that). Otherwise, very good for the price.

Great German dictionary!
Used it to decipher menus and to try and remember my limited German. Worked great! Found almost every word I was searching for, and loved the conjugation of verbs!
Excellent. Almost perfect. Love the related words. Helps you learn faster.
If it did pronunciation it would be perfect.
This is probably what you're looking for.

Great, simple little app.
I'm glad I downloaded this app, definitely worth the $1.99. It will be great to decipher German signs without racking up the roaming charges. You can enter German characters, e.g. ä, ö, ü or ß (double s) by holding down the a, o, u or s key on the iPhone keypad for a few seconds and waiting for a menu to pop up with other choices.
