Have not found anything that even comes close!
Linguee is the app I have wanted for years and only in the last year discovered. The way words are laid out (I’m mostly using the German to English and English to German) with lots of examples in context is so helpful for teasing out the nuances that you want to employ or avoid. I do a lot of checking of my translations and word usage and Linguee is spot on.

Great additional app to utilize for Language Learning Needs
As we all come short in perfection, so does this App, ... however, utilizing his app alongside a regular translation app like Google Translate will absolutely help you cross examine your target language adequately enough to maintain a high level of interpreting and understanding texts. I personally believe that this is how the app should be intended to be utilized. This app helps gives everyday usage and perspective while a translator gives more direct translation and linear thought.

App no longer works but used to be great.
This app hasn’t worked for me since iOS 14 which is a shame because I’m a language student and it used to be so good. But even before iOS 14 I don’t believe it had been updated for quite some time. There was one bug (when it worked) where you could not see the beginning of what you were typing into the search bar. When I first started using this app I never had that issue. Just before writing this review I deleted and re-installed the app and I also experienced the “pasted from” issue which others have mentioned. Please fix this app, I miss it!

Was great but broken on iOS 14 on iPhone 7
Was a great app until it’s broken now on iPhone 7 with iOS 14. Any search either shows a blank white screen or gets stuck at the loading screen forever. Once this is fixed, I will reconsider the rating.
Pretty good
I’ve been using this app for a good while.
But the app hasn’t updated in 2 years.
These days since the last iOS 14 update, it started glitching. It keeps saying “Linguee pasted from Wikipedia” or from whatever source you paste from - endlessly, and sometimes without even pasting anymore.
The auto clipboard-pasting used to be useful while reading, because it cut some time and gestures if you want to do a quick search. But now, I just had to turn it off.
If they don’t update a fix, and you like this app, this ⤵️ is the best option.
To make it so clipboard doesn’t automatically paste the word you copied from somewhere:
—
1. Open options ⚙️(gear shape on bottom right).
2. Switch off “Look up clipboard content“.
3. Close and reopen app. Now it should be fixed.
—-
I just paste things myself now. No big deal.
Regular review:
Linguee is very useful while reading in languages like German and Spanish, and you come across something like “ Das hat geklappt “ or “ imitar “ . It gives some examples of how to use words in sentences, as well as other possible meanings.

Amazing app to improve vocabulary and understanding.
The app is really useful, it help me a lot to improve my vocabulary in English and the understanding of words in a bunch of contexts. The only thing I think that would be developed in the app is to give us the opportunity to create a note where we can save the words we want to improve and maybe would be create flip cards.

Muy útil!
One of the better translation apps out there, especially for tricker words. Example- the English word “cell” has at least 4 common meanings. Jail cell. Cell, as in microorganism. Cell- short for cellular phone. Cell- a group of spies/terrorists in a country. These different uses are listed, and the appropriate translation listed. Then, you are provided numerous examples in context.
This app is NOT MEANT to translate large phrases! It is designed as a dictionary. Use it as such, and you will be very satisfied!

Indispensable
I am learning German. I work mostly on an iPad. I added Linguee as a ‘second’ app running over on the right side of the screen, tucked away out of sight most of the time but always ready to pop out whenever I need to check something I’m reading or listening to. Its content and construction seems to cover all bases, with extensive example sentences as well as the usual definitions of the word or phrase in question. It is without a doubt one of the best bilingual dictionaries I know, and easily the best I know of available as an iPad app. Highly recommended.

Best dictionary ever
I couldn’t ask for anything better. Free multi-language dictionary with offline mode and access to external sources such as Wikipedia. A clean layout and super easy to navigate. Keep up the great work!
Must-have app/App essentielle
I’m not a great collector of apps, but I think Linguee is exceptionally good. I have a University Diploma in French language and literature, but day by day I find Linguee an essential guide in looking for a forgotten or unknown phrase or finding the right word. Linguee is a premier app.
Je n’ai pas l’habitude de collectionner les apps, mais, à mon avis, Linguee est quelque chose d’exceptionelle. J’ai un diplôme universitaire en langue et littérature française, mais jour par jour je trouve Linguee un guide essentiel dans la recherche d’une expression oubliée ou inconnue ou à trouver le mot juste. Linguee est une app de haut niveau.
