### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2025-03-10*

Good vocabulary, good interface, and unlike most dictionary apps, includes noun gender.

### 1/5 — Froze up

*2024-08-05*

The app won’t open even when I go to the App Store and it offers an”open” button. In other words, worthless.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2024-02-12*

It has stopped working

### 4/5 — Wonderful, except for crashing

*2023-09-29*

I have used the German and French versions for years, and they are indispensable; however, on a current trip to Germany, with heavy usage, I have had to delete and redownload the app twice, due to crashing upon launch issues.  This has always been a sporadic problem with this app.  I'm disappointed that the issue continues.  I rely on this dictionary, and I wish this issue could be solved!

### 3/5 — Generally good - lacks important feature

*2023-03-19*

Generally this is a good dictionary. However, that is lacks indication with verbs on whether they are transitive or intransitive is a major flaw.

### 5/5 — Best German<->English Dictionary

*2020-10-13*

Similar to the French - English dictionary, which I’ve used for years, the German Ultralingua dictionary is equally excellent. Vocabulary and verb conjugations are at your fingertips. Change the font to meet personal preference. There are several free German dictionary apps available but none are on a par with the Ultralingua dictionary - well worth the nominal price!

### 5/5 — Recommend highly

*2018-10-29*

I purchased this app over 5 years ago and I’ve gotten more value out of it than any other by far. The conjugation tables are invaluable. And unlike many dictionaries, it will present all the possible intentions of the word to prevent error (for example the word for ‘chain’ could be translated ‘ketten’ or ‘verkettung’, but the second refers to a chain of causality). 

It may seem pricey but it’s honestly an amazing value. *highly recommend*

### 4/5 — Very satisfied. No problems.

*2018-08-04*

A very convenient and handy dictionary app. I've had no problems with it. The conjugation tables are really helpful. Also, you can click on any form of the verb and hear how it is pronounced. Admittedly, the pronunciation of the verb forms is a bit robotic sounding, but at least it gives you an idea of the correct pronunciation.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Dictionary!

*2018-03-21*

I use Ultralingua apps for several languages and they have all been superb.  I like the built in conjugations for verbs as well.  Very nice.

### 5/5 — Für unterwegs

*2017-05-16*

Für mich perfekt beim durchlesen englischer Texte wo dann doch hin wieder ein Wort auftaucht welches das ich nicht kenne oder in dem Zusammenhang nicht verstehe. Hier hilft die App gut und schnell weiter
