### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar

*2023-03-17*

Sehr schlechte Suchfunktion, keine Rechtschreibevorschläge bei der Suche. Man sollte gut in Rechtschreibung sein um die App zu verwenden🤦‍♀️

**Developer response:** Hallo, es tut uns leid, dass Sie nicht zufrieden mit unserer App sind. Sie können sich gerne mit detaillierterem Feedback an kundenservice@pons.de wenden. Wir freuen uns immer über Hinweise und Anregungen!

### 2/5 — Meanings are missing

*2018-12-28*

There are a lot of words that show no meaning in German, for example 'Geld'.

**Developer response:** Hello, the PONS Spelling dictionary shows the correct spelling. It is not intended to show the meaning of a word. For this purpose, PONS offers the PONS Dictionary German as a foreign language PREMIUM.

### 2/5 — Grauenhaft

*2017-01-29*

Halbherzige Umsetzung eines Wörterbuchs. Favoriten können weder sortiert, noch Alphabetisch gelistet. Das kl. +/- im Sternsymbol für die Favoritenliste ist kaum zu erkennen. Insgesamt habe ich von PONS mehr erwartet. Mir werden keine Anreize zum Erwerb weiterer Wörterbücher von PONS vermittelt, noch kann ich diese Wörter-App empfehlen. Für die Leistung, gemessen am Angebot der Mitbewerber, nicht nur völlig überteuert, sondern geradezu unverschämt.

**Developer response:** Hallo und vielen Dank für Ihr ehrliches Feedback. Wir haben Ihr Feedback ernst genommen und direkt in unserem neuen Update integriert. Sie haben nun die Möglichkeit, Ihre Favoriten zu verwalten. Wir freuen uns immer über Feedback, Sie können sich jederzeit gerne bei uns melden: kundenservice@pons.de. Vielen Dank!

### 5/5 — *****

*2013-11-30*

Funktioniert astrein.

### 5/5 — Schnelles Nachschlagen

*2013-11-16*

Schnelle sehr übersichtliche App und deutlich preiswerter als die Duden Version.
Zum schnellen Nachschlagen gut geeignet.

### 2/5 — Worterklärung fehlen!

*2013-02-17*

Ich gebe nur zwei Sterne, weil die Begriffserklärungen fehlen. Das Geld ist nicht wert.
-Worterklärung fehlen!

### 5/5 — Praktisch und hilfreich
