### 1/5 — Would not recommend!! Scam app!

*2024-10-04*

Poorly designed app. 
Everything is spread out over multiple in app purchases.
I purchased to remove ads and pronunciation, which only worked ONCE directly after the purchase and then started giving ads again after reopening the app.
Save your time and money.

### 1/5 — Version is Seriously Problematic

*2022-07-21*

As a user of this app for more than 8 years, I can say don't waste your time with this current version.  There are significant bugs that impact the ability to store data, rely upon words that you have bookmarked and requires you to “restore” purchases almost every other day.  Likely a full-scale scam to require you to purchase the full package version versus the component parts that you’re likely to use.  No longer a quality product.

### 1/5 — pronunciation doesn’t work

*2021-01-16*

i have purchased both premium app and just the pronunciation package. But nothing works in either case

### 3/5 — App now has bugs

*2020-12-17*

This was a great app but in the last 6-12 months, bugs have surfaced. If you click on a word, it will take you to another word rather than provide the translation. It is very frustrating. If possible, can these bugs be addressed & fixed?

### 5/5 — Chloe

*2020-08-23, version 19.2*

It’s good to learn a different language and it’s fun

### 1/5 — Sucheinträge und bookmarks sind nicht löschbar.

*2019-10-07*

... obwohl Sucheinträge im Recent und Bookmarksordner löschbar sein sollen laut Bedienungsanleitung, passiert das nicht.
Die Einträge stehen da unverändert.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2019-09-03, version 19.2*

It’s a simple and effective way to learn another language. Good work.

### 5/5 — Nice useful app

*2018-11-11, version 19.2*

Precise useful Dict app!

### 5/5 — Good enough

*2017-05-01*

I managed to catch some words, it's good app but it could be a lot user friendly.

### 2/5 — Doesn't work properly

*2017-01-14*

Bought the pronunciation add on and it doesn't work, very disappointing. Also showed the phrase and word of the day to my German Tutor who was not impressed and told me to ignore them as they are helpful.
