### 5/5 — Would be perfect with pronunciation

*2025-01-17, version 2.11.1*

Would be perfect with pronunciation

### 5/5 — German dictionary

*2024-08-21*

Great dictionary, highly recommended

### 3/5 — Serious omissions

*2024-07-31*

A good dictionary for basic level users. There are however some serious omissions. Thank God for other Apps like Reverse Context.  I expected better from Collins, given the price point of this App it is very disappointing

### 5/5 — App has its challenges on iphone

*2023-03-28*

I now have this on both my iPad and iPhone. As another reviewer noted 6 years  ago, it is sometimes difficult to move from verbs back to the main dictionary. Frustrating - and it doesn’t seem to be very smart. 
I installed this new app recently because the one I purchased in 2013 froze on my new iPhone. It was simpler just to buy the newer version and with that, I lost all my history for the last ten years, on my iPhone at least.

### 5/5 — Danke

*2020-05-30, version 2.9*

Es Ist wunderbar

### 4/5 — Why I need to pay twice for ipad and iphone

*2019-10-17, version 2.8*

I bought this app few year ago via ipad and just now when i download the app on my iphone. I need to pay the 2nd time!!!

### 1/5 — Verbs

*2019-01-10*

Not all the verbs have explanations!!!

### 2/5 — What happened to the old icon?

*2018-08-09*

I don’t understand the new icon. Please bring back the original one!  

Otherwise: Best English-German Dictionary

### 4/5 — Update Delayed

*2018-07-03*

Please update the software more often!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible Product

*2018-06-30*

After a month, I find this dictionary to be awful. It looks like the developer rushed to release the product without any quality control. 

The pronunciation is terrible; it sounds like computerized sounds rather than a human speaking. Most words are chopped or spoken robotically too fast, and a very large percentage of the words are spelled rather than spoken. 

For example, when playing the word “ich”, the app spells “i, c, h” instead of speaking/pronouncing the word. I started creating a list with these instances but stopped because they were too many.

The French dictionary was much better, but I do not recomend the German version. I’ll try getting a refund.
