### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2020-08-29, version 1.7*

A very helpful and easy to use App! Thank you very much. Will use this all the time and will recommend this to my friends

### 5/5 — An Awesome app!

*2020-04-20, version 1.7*

Never expected to get this app for free. A big thank you to the previous review which prompted me to download this app.

### 5/5 — Thorough and Complete — especially for  the examples and word roots

*2020-04-07*

This is  one of two indispensable German dictionary apps I use. Definitely the most complete . This is particularly helpful in giving examples of the words in use. There is a full page of different uses and permutations (with prepositions and pronouns) in sentences to help u der stand and remember. Also it is the only one I have seen that shows the word roots. These are great building blocks!

### 5/5 — This is amazing

*2019-06-02, version 1.7*

This dictionary is amazing, it includes so many things: gender, Der Akkusativ, Der Dativ, Der Genitiv Form of the words.

### 5/5 — Very gut

*2019-02-20*

I wish I lived in Germany. So much better than America

### 5/5 — perfect

*2019-02-11*

Best german dictionary I have used

### 5/5 — A very comprehensive German to English dictionary

*2019-01-16*

I have only tried this from German to English and so far (over a couple of weeks intermittent use) I have found it very good with several possible translations of each word given. Also keeps a list of what you have searched so you can review these easily.

### 5/5 — Sehr gutes Wörterbuch

*2018-05-08*

Es hat alles den du Brauchs und willst

### 5/5 — Great tool with German class!

*2018-01-31*

This app has come in handy for just about all homework assignments in advanced class. Verb conjugations, regular/irregular, adjectives, everything.  Yes it’s helped with answers but more than anything it reinforces and furthers my growth, understanding and appreciation of the language.  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Very helpful dictionary

*2017-10-18*

### 1/5 — German dictionary

*2016-04-03*

I have downloaded your dictionary but I object to the adverts and I refuse to have to pay to remove them. I am now going to cancel this app and find a better one.... Very disappointed and
not very good at translating either

### 2/5 — Slow

*2021-10-05*

Fake reviews, slow and ugly

### 2/5 — Mr

*2020-12-07, version 1.7*

Maybe I made a mistake, but typed in Sippenhaftung, received a definition in G, but not English. Did not receive other definitions poss.
Also tried Volkesgemeinschaft, but did not know this word?

### 2/5 — Limited

*2020-05-26*

Cannot translate the term “wheelchair accessible” and also cannot translate “wheelchair.” Bye, Farlex.

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that. Our German Dictionary app only accepts search terms in German.  However, you might be interested in our English-German Translation Dictionary app, which does contain "wheelchair" and a phrase including "wheelchair access."

### 3/5 — Review

*2020-10-14*

It is great when it works, unfortunately it freezes sometimes and sometimes doesn’t respond to search command.

### 3/5 — need update and improvement!

*2018-10-31*

speed up search
auto clear to type new word!

### 3/5 — German Dictionary

*2016-05-07, version 1.0*

Looked good until I tried to find my first definition 
Oberscharführer

### 4/5 — Very very good

*2019-06-10*

Sehr gute Erklärung ein gelungenes Programm

### 4/5 — For intermediate to advanced learners of German

*2018-12-03, version 1.7*

It is clear that this App is primarily aimed at learners of German who already have sufficient knowledge of grammar and vocabulary to make the most of its features.
There are annoying ads, and, if you are going to use this App a lot, it is only a small investment to get rid of them. 
I like the many examples of usage presented for each word. At this stage, I am still struggling with the more advanced sections, all in German, that come under the initial straightforward translations and examples.

### 4/5 — So much to find

*2017-04-08*

may not be complete, but it is far better than others.

### 5/5 — Grammar

*2025-04-15, version 5.0.11*

Very very helpful

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-02-23, version 5.0.11*

Easy to use, detailed but precise. Highly recommended

### 5/5 — Excellent.

*2024-07-20*

Best German dictionary I’ve ever had. Ausgezeichnet!

### 5/5 — Extremely helpful

*2024-06-24*

It has helped me improve my vocabulary as I daily read scripture auf Deutsch.  I appreciate words being used in multiple sentences.

### 5/5 — Handy & Useful

*2023-08-14*

As all other reviews have stated, this app is exhaustive and very helpful.  The examples given are current and applicable.  The resources cited are from the best dictionaries and German lexicons.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-10-20, version 3.2*

Just amazing!

### 5/5 — The new version

*2022-05-25, version 3.2*

I downloaded the app on my new IPad 7 and it doesn’t show the pronunciation button. And if I click on a different word it opens a new windows on internet. The new version sucks. It’s not exactly what it shows on the app. I am not sure if something is wrong

### 5/5 — Comprehensive

*2021-02-06*

There are ways it could be better, but then any app could be improved upon. What I need personally is there: gender of nouns, verb conjugations, pronunciation, examples, etc. 
After a couple years of using it constantly, it has really proven to be irreplaceable.

### 5/5 — German dictionary

*2020-11-23*

Indispensable, I could not read "Cicero" from cover to cover with out it.

### 5/5 — Suggestion

*2020-09-04*

Great!!!!
Greattttttt!!!
I suggest you install it
