### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2026-05-16, version 10.0.11*

I have Collins dictionary for several other languages and really like them. This version is no better than Google translate and not as good as DeepL.

### 5/5 — Nice one

*2023-11-20*

Really easy to use

### 5/5 — Must have

*2023-11-15*

It’s the best application to use when you are not a native speaker and wants to learn German or using it at work. Easy to use and good value for money.

### 2/5 — Stop nagging me

*2023-05-15, version 10.0.11*

A decent dictionary app, but the daily nagging to leave a review is doing my head in!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-05-06, version 10.0.11*

Doesn’t show conjugations of verbs. Doesn’t show plurals of most nouns. Translations seem to be largely brief and lack nuance compared to other dictionaries. I’m not sure why this is, since the Collins German online, and other Collins German dictionary apps, have long detailed translations and conjugations and plurals. I’m asking for my money back and choosing a different app. Avoid!

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2022-10-04, version 10.0.11*

Generally useful, except for:
The app’s choices for ‘Word of the Day’ are sometimes just bizarre, and it has an irritating tendency to revert to the ‘WotD’ even when you are in the middle of typing out the word you really want translated.

### 5/5 — Mien Deutsche spreche !

*2022-05-29, version 10.0.11*

I have the paper back version of this and both are valuable as resources !

### 1/5 — Without pronunciation!

*2021-11-10*

14 euros in your rubbish bin.

### 1/5 — Not much thought in UI

*2021-05-05, version 10.0.11*

Constantly having to tap german to english when entering a series if german words (it resets the other way after each word) is the most egregious of UI misdemeanours whixh make this app so horrible to use.

### 1/5 — 1 star for continuously bugging me to rate

*2021-04-12, version 10.0.11*

1 star for continuously bugging me to rate
