### 1/5 — Reklam sayısı

*2026-06-12, version 1.7.38*

Yani 3 kelimeden sonra reklam vermenizi tabiki anlarım ama sözlüğü acil bir iş için açıyorum. İçinden asla çıkılması mümkün olmayan exit tuşu olmayan bir reklamla karşılaşıyoruz. Bu ne kadar mantıklı ve sürdürülebilir eyyy sözlük sahibi? Hala ilk tıkladığım gibi reklam çıkıyor. Çocukluğumdan beri bu sözlüğü kullanıyorum son zamanlarda artık beni başka sözlük arayışına ittiniz. Cevap vermişsiniz hemen reklam çıkmıyor diye ama hemen reklam çıkıyor. Daha ilk sözcüğü aramaya tıkladığım an reklam açılıyor. Tamam tabii ki para kazanın anlıyorum tabii ki reklam izleyeceğiz amenna. Ama daha kullanmaya müsaade etmeden reklam izletmeniz hiç hoş değil.

### 2/5 — Bu kadar reklam gerekli mi?

*2026-06-11, version 1.7.38*

Yıllardır kullandığım, her yeni kelime duyduğumda anında öğrenmek için elimin gittiği uygulamaya yeni güncellemeyle birlikte her kelime aratışımda reklam izleme zorunluluğu gelmiş. Uygulamayı kullanan çoğu kişinin amacı pratik olmasıydı, neden bu kadar büyük bir hata yaptılar şaşkınım. Uygulamayı kaldırıyorum. Umarım tüm kullanıcıları kaybetmeden önce daha mantıklı bir reklamlama yöntemine geçilir.

### 1/5 — No Account to Login

*2026-06-08, version 1.7.38*

I have been using Tureng since 2018. Ic can understand there will be ads but lately it is too much that the free version is unusable and intolerable.

*2026-06-02, version 1.7.38*

Harika bir reklam izleme app’i. Arada ingilizce sozluk olarak da kullanabilirsiniz.

### 2/5 — Deleting….

*2026-05-26, version 1.7.38*

Sozlukte reklam mi olur? Bir kelime icin reklam izletiyorsunuz. Yillardir kullaniyordum ama bugun siliyorum

### 1/5 — DICTIONARY PARTS OF THE APP IS ENOYING

*2026-05-22, version 1.7.38*

I am trying to watch my adds but there are some parts where you can look for translation of words which is very annoying. Tbh it wasn’t used to be that bad but now I swear at every two words I check there is an unskippable 1 min add and I am not even counting the adds around the search engine as well.

### 1/5 — Ads are being pushed onto you from all corners

*2026-05-21*

Just horrible

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-05-20*

There are too many ads. I’m tired of it now. I’m deleting it.

**Developer response:** Geri bildiriminizi anlıyoruz ancak uygulamadaki tam ekran reklamlar kalıcı değildir. Bahsettiğiniz reklam formatı günde en fazla 2 kez gösterilir ve 5 saniye içinde kapatılabilir.

Yine de kullanıcı deneyimini daha iyi dengelemek adına çalışmalarımız sürüyor.

### 1/5 — No more, it’s just too much ads

*2026-05-20*

Although it was mostly useful for turkish - english translations, it was pretty good at it. But the number of ads have become so high that it became more than tolerable. Know that people who use tureng do not use it because it is superior, but because they had been using it since before the AI era. If you lose these people over a little extra money with these excessive ads, you will never get them back, since no one needs dictionaries like tureng anymore. You are losing another one just now.

**Developer response:** We understand your frustration. The fullscreen ad format you mention appears at most twice a day and can be skipped after 5 seconds. Due to rising costs and changing conditions, we currently need this model to keep Tureng running as a free service.

Also, AI bots and dictionary platforms serve different purposes. Most AI tools provide only a few summarized results, while Tureng offers extensive contextual translations, phrases, idioms, and field-specific usages built over many years.

### 1/5 — Deleted because of ads

*2026-05-17*

I have been using Tureng for years. Lately it started to give ads after one search. Any ai bot works better than this!

**Developer response:** We understand your frustration. The fullscreen ad format you mention appears at most twice a day and can be skipped after 5 seconds. Due to rising costs, we currently need this model to keep Tureng running as a free service.

Also, AI bots and dictionary platforms serve different purposes. Most AI bots provide only a few summarized results, while Tureng offers hundreds of contextual translations, phrases, idioms, and field-specific usages.

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2026-05-16*

I have been using Tureng for over 10 years. Of course, there will be ads but lately it is too much that the free version is unusable.

**Developer response:** We understand your concern. However, fullscreen ads are not shown on every search. Under normal conditions, they appear after the second search, at most twice a day, and can be dismissed after 5 seconds.

Due to rising costs and increasingly challenging conditions, we currently need this model to keep Tureng running as a free service. If you encounter an unusually long or problematic ad, please let us know at tureng@tureng.com with the advertiser or app name.

### 1/5 — Saçma reklamlar

*2026-04-16, version 1.7.37*

Ya arkadaş ekranın yarısını kaplayan reklam nedir? Reklam altta üste olur anladık. Çevirilerin arasına yarım ekran reklam koyarsak kullanıcılar rahatsız olur diye hiç mi aklınıza gelmedi? Bkunu çıkarmışsınız. Yıllardır bu uygulamayı kullanırım. İlk defa alternatifi var mı diye bakacağım şimdi. Bu ne ya?

### 1/5 — Aggressive adds

*2026-07-22*

Due to aggressive adds you have to restart app a fee times to see simple translation

### 1/5 — Too much ads

*2026-07-21*

Can’t use it anymore. Rather google it real quick

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-07-17*

They just put more ads in every update

### 1/5 — too many ads

*2026-07-08, version 1.7.38*

I don’t think it is necessary

### 1/5 — Bugün Siliyorum!

*2026-06-27, version 1.7.38*

Her kelimede reklam girme olayına kadar iyi bir uygulama idi. Çekilmez oldu. Siliyorum.

### 1/5 — Reklamlar tam bir rezalet

*2026-06-24, version 1.7.38*

Yıllarca bu sözlüğü kullandım. Kullanımı engelleyen reklamiar nedeniyle siliyorum. Artık hiç kullanıcı dostu değil. Google bedava.

### 1/5 — Ads, Ads, Ads

*2026-06-23, version 1.7.38*

I have been using Tureng for over a decade. But recently you made already existing ads so aggressive that I’m unable to use Tureng anymore. I am deleting the app and I’ll not use it on the web anymore.

### 1/5 — Went too far with ads.

*2026-06-21, version 1.7.38*

I used Tureng for years and never had too much of an issue with the ads, but now you get a full screen unskippable ad every time you open the app and search for a new word. Unfortunately google translate and several other dictionary apps now have lots of example sentences and alternative context definitions, without ads, so there’s no reason to put up with this extreme level of forced ads.

### 1/5 — İlgisiz Reklam Ter*rü

*2026-06-20, version 1.7.38*

Tureng’i yıllar önce kullanmaya başlamıştım herkese tavsiye ediyor ve çok seviyordum. Reklamlar yüzünden kullanımı bir işkenceye döndüğü için silme kararı aldım. Ücret ödeseniz bile kullanmak imkânsız. Ülkemizden çıkan güzel girişimlerin böyle vizyonsuz kararlarla sona ermesi ne kadar üzücü.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-06-14, version 1.7.38*

### 5/5 — Bir tanecik çeviri appim 🥹🫶🏻

*2026-01-16*

İngilizce-Türkçe olanı 10 yıldır kullanıyorum ve İngilizce-Almanca olanı da özellik appe geldiğinden beri. Çok çok çok seviyorum turengsiz napardım bilmiyorum, deepl filan hikaye

### 5/5 — Reclam

*2025-12-03, version 1.7.28*

Reklamlari duzeltin

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-11-17, version 1.7.28*

“We live in secular country.” 
Senin o ağzına kurban♥️ As always I’m following your best description for my assignment👏🏼

### 5/5 — Sentences!!!!

*2025-05-07, version 1.7.19*

App is amazing. Just an FYI, you can’t see the sentences if you’re using dark theme setup on your phone. (My phone is iPhone 14) Hope this helps.

### 5/5 — Amazing Resource

*2025-01-20*

This app is my saving grace in conversations with my Turkish friends whenever they drop a new word on me. The link for pronunciations is fantastic too

### 5/5 — Best of the best

*2023-12-19, version 1.7.1*

Of course, there are relatively minor errors. But I find results in Tureng that I cannot find in the app of trillion-dollar companies. It's always like this. When criticizing, think about this: On the one hand, there are Apple, Google and Microsoft and the other hand Tureng :) I swear it does a better job than all of them. I wish there was an better application interface, stability and new features. Personally, I kiss your eyes one by one. Well done.

### 5/5 — Accurate, comprehensive and intuitive

*2022-05-02*

I use this dictionary for looking up Turkish words in English. Since there’s often not a simple one-to-one correspondence, I like how it shows all the possible translations. For many words it also includes a link to a video/audio sample so you can hear it in a context. The interface is simple but includes auto-suggestion, back-button and history which make it surprisingly effective for looking up words and phrases on the go. One thing I’d like to see is daily/periodic suggestions, which the website actually does quite nicely!  Ads are always annoying so I went ahead and paid for it which works great for me because I use it multiple times a day.

### 5/5 — Başucu sözlüğü

*2022-03-23, version 1.6.0*

Bir çok sözlük denemedim ama özellikle yanlış ‘collocation’ kullanımını düzeltmesi ve kelimeleri birden fazla kullanım şekli ile Türkçe’nin yapısına uygun çevirmesi ile diğer sözlüklerden ayrışıyor. Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

### 5/5 — Çok kullanışlı

*2022-03-19*

Web Sitesinde bulunan Almanca dilini de App için uyarlamanız mümkün olmaz mı acaba? Yani bir Türkçe kelimeyi aradığımızda karşımıza aynı anda İngilizce ve Almanca karşılıklarını bir arada getirse uygulama çok daha faydalı olur diye düşünüyorum. 
Teşekkürler

### 5/5 — 👌🏽

*2021-12-24*

Elimin en cok gittigi ceviri uygulamasi. Almancasi ne zaman gelir?
