### 2/5 — Great if you can access it, otherwise useless

*2024-11-02*

It is a great dictionary. It is the only one I’ve seen that has examples in both Danish and English and has a full list of idioms and variations. But it doesn’t work anymore. I have a uni account but it does not work with the app.

### 3/5 — What happened…

*2024-08-09*

This is a great app to use to learn Danish.  I was using it a lot on my Apple iPhone 12.  I have since upgraded to an iPhone 15 plus and it no longer works, cannot log-in.  I also have an iPhone 8 and the app works fine on that phone.  Would like to give 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2021-03-08*

If I’m not mistaken this was ranked as one of the best dictionaries published in Denmark. It has so much. Clear, concise definitions with plenty of sample sentences. Many many idioms.  Great speech quality when configured through settings (Magnus’ voice). It has tons of dictionaries included for free. Even an Icelandic one. English-Icelandic. Invaluable. It does not have IPA but you can easily press and select a word click look up and find the dictionary definition that apple iphones have (which includes IPA), after this is configured in settings. It has rare words that don’t translate well to English. I highly recommend anyone interested in learning Danish to get the subscription for this app. If you are a Danish citizen I believe you can input your code and get free access.

**Developer response:** Hello Philippe331,

We are very happy to hear that you are enjoying our dictionaries and our app.
Thank you so much for a great review. We appreciate it very much and have passed it on to our developers, including your mention of IPA.

Best regards,

Nanna Ordbogen A/S

### 5/5 — Super useful app!

*2020-08-25*

Great app with nice user interface and access to all the necessary dictionaries (I use Danish <-> English). Something I’ve been looking for for a long time!

### 4/5 — New version 3.0 search box is irritating

*2019-08-18*

The search box jump or move up and down is not doing anything good. I think it is just fine to always stay at the top. 
Everything else is good.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We have just released version 3.1.0, which should resolve your search box issue. If the problem persists or you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact our support team directly from the app's live chat or at support@ordbogen.com. Best regards, Jacqueline Levin, Ordbogen A/S

### 1/5 — Unstable

*2016-09-26*

Very buggy. Danish - English dictionary vanished. Tried deactivating all dictionaries but when I tried activating them again, I was asked if I was sure I wanted to deactivate them?!?!

The GUI also changed for some reason. Worked well few days ago but now its crap - no way to change it back.

Now there are only 3 dictionaries but I have multible copies of each one. This app makes no sense to me anymore. Seems like they took a perfectly fine app and "fixed it" so its unusable now.

**Developer response:** Kære loftura
