Quality app for Students of German

I am a retired school language teacher. I still tutor a few students in German and I try to suggest learning tools that appeal to young people. Apps are an obvious choice and this is one of my favorites.
A lot of students are tempted to use online translators but those can lead to some bad habits. It’s important for students to use reference tools like dictionaries and verb conjugation tables to build a strong foundation.
This app has a comprehensive dictionary including noun gender, multiple translations and usage examples. The nouns are classified as masculine, feminine and the neuter but it could be improved by adding the der, die, das articles.
Verb conjugations can be found in the dictionary which is a helpful. Most dictionaries don’t include them in the dictionary so you get stuck when you try to look them up.
The verb conjugations feature is the best I’ve seen. There are also some fun practice tools like multiple choice vocabulary quizzes and flash cards.
Overall, I highly recommend the app to students and adult learners of German.

Super app

I rely on this app and use it constantly. I also use the same company's dictionary apps for French, Spanish and Italian. Well worth the small price for the pro version.

Thorough & Easy to Use

I’ve used this app for several trips to Germany and Switzerland- both to prepare for the trip, and once I’m there. I can work on phrases for common situations whenever I have a few free moments, and refer to it overseas when I need help with a sign or menu, or get some help when asking for something. I use it many times a day when in Europe. It is very fast and intuitive. Highly recommend it!

Buyer beware it Shows adds even after purchase!

I paid for the full version $9.99 German Dictionary & Translator +
Guess what? After "translating more than 12,000 characters" the app informs you that you've translated 12,000 characters and ads will be show again. The description says nothing about showing ads after their limit of 12,000 characters. Do I feel cheated? You bet! Silence from the author when I challenged them on this. They need to update their description and be honest that you are not getting unlimited use of their app when you buy it!

I like this app. Unfortunately, I now have to go through ads because I have used it too much.

Hi Suz, There are two versions of our app, free and paid. This paid version should not be showing you ads. Can you please email info@vidalingua.com, Attention Marc, so we can work together to fix the issue. Marc Bolh, Founder VidaLingua

Daily help

Taking German 2 and using it always. Request: more support for plural formation. But this is an indispensable tool. Pronunciation feature is helpful too. Speed is adjustable and the articulations are credible. Thanks!

A total waste of money

The dictionary doesn't even give you the plural forms of the German words and the conjugator doesn't have the imperative. You're better off with wordreference free app and reverso's conjugator.
