I find the search function doesn’t recognize plural forms of nouns or verbs other than the infinitive. I use Google Translate as a work around. ### 4/5 — Easy to use but not many options *2020-06-17, version 1.22* If the sole purpose of the app was to create a simple lexicon interface, they hit the nail on the head. I wish they had made the synonyms linked and a more sleek design. ### 3/5 — Meh *2020-04-21, version 1.22* It’s decent, kind of confusing ### 4/5 — BC *2018-08-29, version 1.22* Very useful indeed. But why no indication of noun gender - der/die/das? Crucial to know. ### 4/5 — Danke *2016-12-24, version 1.20* Very good for a novice like me. Ads are annoying. Would be willing to pay to rid myself of them all. Thanks for the app however. ### 2/5 — Warning, unusable unless pay to remove ads *2016-09-17, version 1.20* This WAS a great app, especially being fully offline, easy to use. Unfortunately now it has been taken over by ads which are not just annoying but go across the centre of the screen and cannot be closed, making it impossible to read, especially on a phone sized screen. ### 3/5 — Dual language dictionary *2016-08-19, version 1.20* The Dictionary Works Fine. The pop up ads are very annoying. ### 5/5 — Jonald *2016-07-27, version 1.20* Very good and helpfull application for all who are in the first steps of learning german. I suggest you try it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Duct *2026-03-22, version 1.22* It’s creshes at start. iPad 10. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2025-08-05, version 1.22* App is great but unfortunately no longer works on my new ipad ### 1/5 — No longer works *2025-02-23, version 1.22* It used to be a good dictionary, but it is apparently not being updated and has suddenly stopped working. It crashes now every time I try to use it. So disappointing! ### 1/5 — voice not working *2023-05-26, version 1.22* there is no any speaker icon in app for pronunciation ### 1/5 — Why! *2018-12-05, version 1.22* Used to be a great dictionary... now with the latest update, the ads annoy really oft. Other reviews say they would stay even with the purchased version. Disappointed really. ### 1/5 — Remove ads scam *2017-06-11, version 1.22* The dictionary is ok. However, if you try to remove ads, you will be charged for every device which has the application AND THE ADS WILL REMAIN!!!!!, as well as an offer to remove ads again. It is really a shame that these things happen, will take it up with App Store. ### 1/5 — Save your money *2017-01-08, version 1.20* The free version is missing some very basic words but it is a decent interface. Do not bother paying the $1 for the "ad free" version however as ads still pop up with annoying regularity. In addition, this is the first review of an app I have ever written and I am writing it because literally (not figuratively) every 3 words a window popped up asking me to rate the app. Infuriating. Enjoy your review. Thanks for annoying me until I wrote it. ### 1/5 — Brilliant *2016-09-21, version 1.20* Unable to fault this dictionary, would recommend it to anyone interested in learning German. ### 1/5 — Ads kill this dictionary *2016-09-20, version 1.20* The increase in the frequency of Ads has rendered this excellent dictionary unusable. A premium to stop ALL ads would be welcomed but until that is available It's not worth using. ### 1/5 — D Lloyd *2016-09-08, version 1.20* Good app but unfortunately you get bombarded with advertisements for other apps every time you open the app even when you have paid the upgrade to supposedly get rid of them. Annoying to put it mildly!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Prounantion *2022-03-08, version 1.22* Onfortunatly there is no pronansition icon in may app.help me!!! ### 5/5 — Simple and quick *2021-10-14, version 1.22* The app works well and is easy to use. For some words there are many examples which makes it easier to choose the correct word but not always for less common words. I have found that this app works better than other dictionary apps when the internet signal is poor. There are ads every now and again but they go quickly. ### 5/5 — Very easy to use *2021-01-08, version 1.22* Comprehensive, putting words into context, easy to find ### 5/5 — Surprisingly, the best. *2020-11-21, version 1.22* This is actually the best German-English dictionary app out there. It’s free, it works offline, it has all the words. ### 5/5 — I live recent function. *2020-10-22, version 1.22* It great to be able to review what words you have looked up. It really helps to drill them into your memory. ### 5/5 — Very handy *2020-05-06, version 1.22* I use this app quite a lot,no complaints. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2019-11-23, version 1.22* It’s very details and I don’t need internet to look up for words anymore. Thanks for the effort! ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-06-07, version 1.21* This is definitely my first port of call for translations ### 5/5 — Best app *2016-11-28, version 1.20* Absolutely the best German dictionary ### 5/5 — Best dictionary *2016-11-22, version 1.20* I recently bought a well known49,5 € dictionary but this german dic is more practical with the same definition and examples even i can say better presented --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
