Ad infested.
LEO was the “go to” German dictionary, but recent updates have made the app frequently unresponsive and laden will full screen, unskippable ads.
Not usable anymore
I’ve used it for years and was fine with the addition of ads, but they’ve reached a point where the app is no longer practical to use properly. I deleted it.

Leo seit mindestens 15? Jahren benutzt, kein Problem mit statistischer Werbung, aber Fullscreen-Werbevideos sind einfach zu viel.
Ea war ne schöne Zeit. ChatGPT und Gemini sind eh besser.

Отлично
Хороший переводчик. Лучше всего подходит для немецкого языка👍
Больше не работает (вроде исправили ошибки - работает)
Приложение не загружает больше слова.
No longer working with iOS
I’ve been using Leo for many years with my iPhone and iPad and found it so useful . Unfortunately the latest version doesn’t work any more with these devices. So I uninstalled it. Shame! It used to be a good app.
Network
Ever since I downloaded this app it wont connect to internet. Rest all the other apps are working just this one doesn’t. I dont know how to fix it but if you have any solution kindly let me know.
Seized operations
A pity we have to say goodbye. - RIP
Failed Update
“Update” ruined the app, once great Dictionary no longer works, so it’s useless.
Used for years, deleted today
I started noticing annoying ads a while ago but still used the app from time to time. Yesterday and today, stuff just stopped completely loading, so I decided to just find an alternative…
Why Extreme ads now?
I used this app for 13 years and now they decided to use ads that just appear out of nowhere. Why do you play these ad videos? I have to stop using the app now since auto-video-ads are extremely annoying, shady and cause me to forget what word to look up. Thanks that you do not care about your customers!

Loss of functionality
The spinner mostly just spins and spins without returning a result. The full page ads when it does work are simply too annoying. Maybe the spinner that keeps spinning is the app trying to load an ad that loads too slowly?
They ruined if
I used the website for years and then the app. Loved it. Recommended it to everyone. Used it countless times per day for multiple languages, though mostly German-English. I have sadly just deleted it. This app is just an ad blaster now. It is not usable. I cannot look up a word without a video ad that I cannot close out taking over my screen. The noise and intrusion is unforgivable. Some ads here and there would be understandable but this has simply voided all functionality. I give up. I will not go back to using the site in my browser either. I will just turn entirely to another tool. Sorely let down after many years of praising and relying on Leo. Goodbye former friend, you used to be so good.

Fullscreen ads!
I don’t need an app that shows a 5-10 second fullscreen ad when I search for a word!
Stupid Long frequent ads
Hate this. Going to Google translate instead.
Ads are getting crazy
I love this app and have used it for years to translate German words on the fly. I know that ads are necessary for collecting revenue and supporting updates, but I don't think sitting through a 15 second ad when I'm trying to translate a word is a great experience.
Full screen ads in a translator app? Really?
It used to be good but now they’re literally showing you blocking full-screen ads.
Literally any other translator beats this by miles now.

Forced popup ads destroy user experience
Ads turn into unskippable popups.
Looking up a word that takes 5 seconds may require you to watch a 30 second ad first.
They also don't improve the search on the app to bring it to the same level of the web-based version.
I love how you get results for the dictionary and forum at the same time.
In the app it requires a tedious new search for each section.

This app chooses to preserve racism
When a learner dictionary presents racist language in general search results and relies on warnings to contextualize it, this is not a neutral act but an editorial decision. Documentation can exist without making harmful terms discoverable as usable translations. Learner-facing tools should prioritize user safety and pedagogy over “completeness,” especially when accurate, non-offensive alternatives are available.

Werbung
Ich bin von der Werbemenge total enttäuscht. Man muss auf Übersetzung ca. 10-20 Sekunden warten. Das ist irre, besonders wenn ich sie dringend brauche.
