Used for English-French Translation
I use this app all the time. I’m American living in France, learning the language. I loved being able to download the vocabulary because I don’t have data most of the time. The example sentences were also one of my favorite features. However, I found that there were not very many food name translations (this could be because of many reasons), however it would have been nice to be able to use this app more for understanding menus. Overall, really love it, so helpful but can still improve!

Practical and helpful
I use it for German-English, and find its translations to be reliable, the examples very helpful in understanding context and usage. But my favorite feature is that it asks you later (on the lock screen) if you remember words you’ve recently looked up. Spaced repetition like this is well understood to improve recall. It’s great to see that the app developers understand that when I look up a word, I don’t just want to see the translation. I want to *learn* it. Love the app!

Excellent App
I use Linguee all the time for studying German and French. I’ve downloaded the German and French dictionaries in order to have access even when I don’t have internet access. The user interface is very intuitive. One of the most useful features is the “history” feature. I can easily go back and see all the words I have searched, which is very helpful for review.

Great app
Great app with very good English < -> “other” dictionaries. The two best things are that you can download offline dictionaries (which when you are in a foreign country is very useful) and that it gives you plenty of examples (useful when dealing with more colloquial things).
One suggestion is to include some verb conjugations (even if only in online mode). This would be relatively easy to implement but would add even more value.

Fantastic when learning
I found this to be the most helpful app when I was learning and trying to determine the gender of words. I highly recommend it!
Best language dictionary app
It’s the best language dictionary app. I have bought and tried every one I could find and Linguee is the best by far. I am a student learning French and I use it every day. I use it less since I have moved into intermediate level but when I started a year ago Linguee was a huge helper for me. Having tried every other app I could find I can say confidently that they are not as easy to use. There is nothing even close.

This app is so good I’m looking for the catch. I can choose to load dictionaries wifi or via my provider. I can choose offline from within the app. Translation is adequate offline but online - WOW
The variety of dictionaries is good too. I use English and French

Finally a truly educational translator
Finds phrases as well as words, shows multiple examples of usage so you can both identify synonyms and where different words or phrases are used depending on context. Also quick. I was exhausted by translators that couldn’t distinguish between tenses let alone tell you which of the multiple translations often offered actually corresponds to the sense you mean. This s a gem and amazing resource for improving ones speaking and usage beyond mere literal translation.

Indispensable
This is a smart and valuable idea. Time and again Linguee comes to the rescue after my conventional French-English dictionary app (for which I paid) has let me down. Highly recommended.
One of my favorite app for many reasons!
Love this app. I’ve never had a problem with it. It’s quick, I’m able to find different popular true meanings in many languages, never has crashed, ever! I love how it gives you many translations of on word, tells you the most common to least common, with written examples. This app is great for anyone who is learning another language, who knows another language or just for fun.
