In the introduction alone, a score of German words I could not find on this App. Luckily Google Translate did the heavy lifting as an alternative. What gives? And why are the verbs not provided either full conjugation? Feels like someone cheapened out on this one. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2019-12-08, version 1.0* The current version does not work properly with iOS 13. The flag image next to the search box is enormous and only leaves a few pixels to type into. Moreover the app support link in the App Store goes to an advert for a different program. Before it became unusable it was pretty good. But it’s been messed up for weeks now, I think it’s been abandoned by the developer. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Junk! *2023-09-27* This app is broken. Searches return nothing, interface is terrible, and the fonts are unreadable. Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Sadly, the app does not work. *2023-06-26* Offline mode does not provide translations of text, from English to German or vice versa. It shows you what you typed and provides a blank result. I recommend trying another app… ### 1/5 — Inadequate *2023-06-25* Does not provide the gender of nouns. Missing many commonly used words. Minimal information on words it does have. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2023-06-02* It doesn’t cost, but it doesn’t work either. I tried with simple words from English to German and I got nothing in return. Also the contrast where you write and where you read is terrible. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-05-06* Doesn’t work at all. Probably just a data harvester app. Pick a different app. ### 1/5 — Needs explanations *2022-08-13* Lacks detailed explanations of usage as one would expect in a dictionary. I’m left wanting more. ### 1/5 — no *2021-07-31, version 2.0* no ### 1/5 — Constantly crashes *2020-06-02* Works once, then becomes stuck with no way out except to delete app and reinstall. Have finally given up on it. (It used to work great!) ### 1/5 — Garbage *2020-05-27* Buggy, hard to use, and constant ad interruptions. ### 1/5 — dark mode *2020-05-22* this app does not display properly in dark mode ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-06-15* It’s good ### 5/5 — My roots are German *2026-05-08* This is a great app for knowing how to say thank you and goodbye, Buddhist way. ### 5/5 — German 🇩🇪 *2025-06-29* It’s been a while since I last spoke German, but it comes back so quickly. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-10-15* Free and easy ### 5/5 — Ausgezeichnet App. *2020-05-10* Very helpful. ### 5/5 — Bug *2019-11-18* The German flag eclipses the search field so that you can’t see what you’re typing. ### 5/5 — Good For voiceover users *2019-08-20* I really like the clean interface. Also love that once you type in a word, the app gives you some examples how that word can be used in german. I just wished that more dictionary apps would work like this. This app is a great tool to accompany your german grammer book. ### 5/5 — Excellent comprehensive *2019-05-31* Simple global ### 5/5 — Great app for speakers and students alike. *2018-12-30* I like the simplicity of this app. It should be noted that there are no articles needed when searching nouns. If the word is available it will start to appear as soon as it is typed correctly. ### 4/5 — Needs a fix or two *2019-12-22* Five stars for having the good sense to include the noun gender! I can’t tell you how frustrating it is when other dictionaries fail to supply this essential part of a German noun. Three stars for the graphical interface that seems a bit buggy recently. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
