Nach 10min probieren konnte ich kein einziges Wort finden. This is german only. but unusable. update:not better still. not as duden.de

Absolutely awful

What is the point of this app??

Just use duden.de on the web

This is divided into multiple different reference books, and seemingly none of them is as complete as the resources on the web, which is free. Eg, the “Bedeutungswöterbuch” lists six meanings for the verb “übertragen”; duden’s website has 8, and also an adjectival entry. The site has separate entries for “auswiegen” and “ausgewogen”; the dictionary in the app has neither. Perhaps one of the other dictionaries is more complete, but you can’t tell before you buy. Don’t bother unless having offline access to a fairly limited set of entries is crucial.

Danke Duden

I’m happy with my expensive purchase. I recommend it. Although it doesn’t cover many Redewendungen.
