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.

They’ll take it away
I buy Duden paper dictionaries, but I don’t trust them for apps, because I paid good money for a few of them some years ago, and after a while they were confiscated, so to speak. They were completely disabled. I don’t have to buy a new paper dictionary anytime the publisher wants to come out with a new version, and I shouldn’t have to do that with dictionary apps either.

Idee
Sie sollten eine „Wort des Tages“ Funktion anbieten um Leuten zu helfen ihr Wortschatz zu vergrößern. Ich habe letztens eine App runtergeladen die das selbe mit Englischen Vokabeln macht (heißt übrigens „Vocabulary“). Wär cool👍🏽
The most useless app I have ever seen
This is just a storefront for a long list of expensive Duden apps. I am surprised Apple approved this rubbish.
Complete Trash-DO NOT BUY
Does not have a German to English feature
The Gold Standard
The gold standard in German lexicography. Not the greatest user interface. On the face of it, you would think that at least some of the different volumes could be combined to reduce the apparent complexity for the user. As I am interested in etymology, I find the Herkunftswörterbuch of particular value.

Make it free
Otherwise iPhone has it anyways. Also on Mac it’s available for free.
Useful!
DUDEN is THE reference in German Wörterbuchs. Unlike other comments, I find this app helpful. The linguists who write dictionaries need to get paid, and the online Duden has too many ads. Google Translate doesn’t cover etymology, synonyms or how to conjugate verbs. This app is a good start to identify what type of dictionary one needs (50 000 words in depth vs. 100 000 ‘connections’), and it also gives many ´freebies’.

Not useful for learning
Maybe this is good for native speakers or higher-level learners, but it’s hard to recommend - you have to pay over a hundred pounds for the full featured version, and the layout of the screen is pretty bad. Cannot recommend considering the alternatives.
Great dictionaries, horrible apps
Same color, same font, messy, difficult to find information within the entries
Only a useless shop front
The free version is an incomprehensible app which only offers articles for 100 useless words. This app is nothing but an advertisement for various expensive pay-for add-ons, but looking at what is shown, I can’t see that the pay-for version would be worth it. And it get REALLY expensive if you want a meaningful collection of add-ons.
You are better off with the website services.
VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!

Only a 20% Rabat Available, not the 30% claimed
Duden is claiming to offer a 30% discount this week but… the in-app store actually only offers 20% off. What gives?
Katastrophale usability
So gut der Duden auch ist, die App Entwicklung ist auf dem Stand einer Webseite aus den 90er Jahren. Es kommt endlich (!) mal ein neues Update im Juli 2018, und es unterstützt immer noch kein iPhone X. Viel schlimmer ist aber die Bedienung, hauptsächlich die Auswahl der einzelnen Wörterbücher. Man muss immer erst unten in der Mitte das kleine Icon „Katalog“ suchen, hat hier wiederum große - allerdings nicht klickbare - Icons der Wörterbücher, und muss dann auf ein kleines weißes Kästchen mit dünnem gelben Rahmen und dem kaum lesbaren gelben Begriff „starten“ klicken. Warum kann man nicht einfach die ganze Zeile klickbar machen, inkl. Icon, inkl. lesbarem schwarzen Namen des Wörterbuchs. Warum ist immer noch die 26. Auflage des Duden auswählbar und verwirrt mich, wenn ich längst die 27. gekauft habe und die alte nie wieder nutzen werde? Es ist eine absolute Frechheit eine der teuersten Apps überhaupt im Store anzubieten (deutlich mehr als 100$), und dann so etwas benutzerunfreundliches zu programmieren. Das können die meisten kostenlosen Apps um Welten besser!

For Profit
Now you need to buy a bundle of $149 to get Duden Universal, which is the most useful in the set. If you want to purchase the Universal, it says "no connection"...
