Großartig!

Als Philologe benutze das DWDS seit vielen Jahren. Umso mehr habe ich mich gefreut, dass ich es nun auf dem iPhone auch per App und sogar offline nutzen darf. Herzlichen Dank allen Beteiligten!

Wirklich schön. Effizient. Keine Bloatware wie so viele Apps. Ordentlich und effektiv. Gute Arbeit!

Ich liebe es, die Etymologie eines Worts durchzugehen wenn ich eines finde, das mir lange nicht begegnet ist.
Danke für die App!
