I tried uninstalling, I have the newest version of both app and IOS. I turned the Ipad down. I hope someone will do sth about it. I have been using the app for more than a year and there has never been such a problem. At the same time, I do not have this problem on my Iphone. ### 1/5 — Support *2026-03-29, version 4.6.9* Это был один из лучших немецко/рус переводчиков, после множества обновлений приложение превратилось в помойку, сейчас постоянно вылетает ошибка на любых языках, и ничего не переводит. ### 4/5 — Problem mit iPadOS 26.4 *2026-03-26, version 4.6.9* Ich mag die App, aber jetzt, nach einem OS-Update, stürzt sie immer ab. Auch De- und Neuinstallieren/ Neustart half nichts. ### 5/5 — harika *2026-03-25, version 4.6.9* ingilizce ogreniyorum ve gercekten cok isime yatiyor harika banada ogretmenim onerdi ### 5/5 — Fiil Çekimleri *2026-03-22, version 4.6.9* Fiilleri çekimleriyle birlikte verseniz daha kullanışlı olur ### 2/5 — Reklamlar deneyimi olumsuz etkiliyor. *2026-03-15, version 4.6.9* Uzun süredir severek kullandığım bir uygulamaydı, reklamlar geldiğinden beri eski sıklıkla kullanmayı bırakmak zorunda kaldım. Almanca öğrenmeye çalışırken reklamlar yüzünden dikkatimin dağılmasından sıkıldım. Reklamlar eskisi gibi kenarda çok büyük olmayacak şekilde kalsaydı çok daha iyi olurdu. Her araştırdığım kelime sonrası son ses alakasız bir reklam izlemek zorunda kalmak istemiyorum. ### 1/5 — reklam *2026-02-25, version 4.6.9* reklamlar arasina bazen kelimeler giriyor ve giren kelimelerinde yarisi yanlis ceviri ### 1/5 — Pubblicità *2026-02-09, version 4.6.8* Era una buona app, ma è con un recente aggiornamento é diventata inutilizzabile, perché ad ogni consultazione si apre una pubblicità. Ho trovato alternativa. ### 1/5 — Reklamı abarttılar *2026-01-29, version 4.6.8* Reklam reklam, kelime, kelime, reklam… bir sözlük uygulamasında bu kadar fazla reklam olmamalı ! Genel olarak iyi bir sözlük diye değiştirmiyorum ama aynı ayarda bir şey bulursam direkt bırakırım bıktım reklamlardan ## Frequently asked questions about PONS Translate & Dictionary ### What does PONS Translate & Dictionary do?
