Excellent App

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

Froze up

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

Stopped working

It has stopped working

Wonderful, except for crashing

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!

Generally good - lacks important feature

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

Best German<->English Dictionary

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!

Recommend highly

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*

Very satisfied. No problems.

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.

Fantastic Dictionary!

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.

Für unterwegs

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

Excellent

I used this app while studying High German at the Volkshochschule where I found it to be invaluable and two years later am still using it nearly every day. Earlier I had contacted the producers regarding some minor issues with some of the words in a Swiss context. I had a prompt and helpful response and am pleased to say that I have had no further issues in any respect with this app. When I briefly returned to Scotland I continued to recommend this app to my students along with the French dictionary.

Absolutely dismal

I have been trying to look up the meaning of "das Regal" to see it's plural and it's showing me a translation for some random verb...seriously?

Problems discovered after most recent update

The latest app iOS 9 update seems to be defective. I'm encountering problems and bugs such as, when I enter a word into the search field, it just remains there, no matter how many other words are researched. Using the back arrow keys does nothing to remove the entry. Additionally, after looking at verb conjugations, it is impossible to back out to the original screen. These "issues" need immediate attention and resolution.

fine, but mo typos

works well, but i am constantly coming across typos involving missing or superfluous umlauts. many translations are either wrong, or seem wrong without context, like an example phrase.

Nice, but missing the articles for nouns

I am trying to learn German and unfortunately they do not include the articles for nouns. This could be the best translation app very easily but they don't seem to be interested in improving.

Rich and practical tool.

This is a rich, practical and portable tool to translate single words.

Great dictionary

When I lived in German for a year this was my go to dictionary since it was always available when I had internet access or not. While cheaper or free English-German dictionaries are available this is definitely worth the money

Full

Many useful definitions.
Allows the user to search, using any form of the verb.

Stable app, extensive dictionary

Having used Ultra Lingua for many years, it has proved its reliability and seen me through multiple trips abroad and several foreign-language novels. It is the app that never leaves my phone!
