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.

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.
