### 5/5 — Short, sweet and simple

*2014-01-24, version 2.1*

It's simple and to the point. Sometimes you just need to get straight to it and this is it. Pretty sweet and quick; I use other apps (Leo) when I want to do a more in depth examination of a word but to continue reading through an article or story just the the basic definition, common usage and/or gender is enough. Don't get me wrong; there are plenty of notes on a word but not pages upon pages that lead you down another path (which is great if you have time but this is not often the case). I can't believe this isn't one of their priced apps.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2013-12-03*

As it says, nouns given with gender and plural, verbs with irregular participles. Also helpfully, entries are laid out in dictionary format, so you can glimpse other words around it that may look similar. You quickly find other related words, or realise why two similar words might have been confusing. 5stars, a total bargain, having fished round 10 other apps this afternoon :-)

### 2/5 — Chief

*2012-10-26, version 2.0.1*

Very limited vocabulary - not worth it

### 3/5 — It's ok

*2012-05-05, version 2.0.1*

The dictionary seems ok but it doesn't do landscape mode.  I always use my iPad in landscape mode so this is annoying for me.

### 5/5 — Best for the money

*2011-04-04, version 1.0.5*

Amazing that some apps don't even have principle parts or noun gender and plural forms. This app has everything I need and it's only $1.99. I can easily recommend it.

### 5/5 — It's great

*2011-01-06, version 1.0.5*

Well to make it simple uhhh... it's great

### 4/5 — Works as well as hoped

*2010-11-15*

I bought this app because I'm just starting german, and this app is both cheaper and quicker than a physical dictionary. I paid 14.99 for the Collins french dictionary (I'm currently spending a year in France, so I opted for the big name dictionary assuming I would get my money's worth) and although this app isn't quite as good as the Collins, it's very close and considering the price it's a really good purchase. Predictive search, history function, inclusion of related phrases. It's as good as a normal dictionary. 
(seemed worth writing a review so other's don't have to make a blind purchase as I did)

### 4/5 — Great! But needs a few more things...

*2010-02-24, version 0*

This is a very good dictionary app for anyone going to or from germany or anyone who takes German as a class. I used to have to wait until I got home before I could look up a word because of wifi, but now I can just carry this app around. The only thing this application needs now is essets and umlauts, then it will be perfect!

### 4/5 — Very impressive!

*2010-02-04, version 0*

Nice job, Accio. This is by far the best English/German dictionary out there on the app store. It is detailed and has genders, adj., verb, noun, etc. LOTS OF ENTRIES! only one beef:
The screenshot show there being a phrasebook:
It's not there! There's no phrasebook.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2010-01-24, version 0*

From an American living in Germany who communicates on a regular basis with work collegues in German, this is great.  No thrills, just a simple German/English English/German dictionary that works great!  As a singer I use poetic language in the pieces I do, and this has most everything I need.
