Der, Die, Das — again? German noun genders don't follow tidy rules, and guessing wrong in front of a native speaker never gets less embarrassing. DER DIE DAS turns that struggle into a habit you actually keep, using spaced repetition and eight fast, replayable games. Translations are available in 17 languages, including Arabic, Ukrainian, Farsi, Russian, Polish, and Chinese — learn German from the language you already think in. HOW YOU LEARN Every word you study is scheduled with FSRS, the same memory algorithm used by top flashcard apps — so you review a noun right before you'd forget it, not on a fixed daily list. Choose read, listen, or speak cards, or mix all three. WHAT YOU LEARN • The original 3,000 most-frequent German nouns • Full telc exam vocabulary, A1.1 through B2 — built for Sprachkurs, Integrationskurs, and citizenship-test prep • Topic sets: work, sports, health, and more • Your own words — describe one in plain language or paste a list, and AI looks up the article, translation, and audio for you EIGHT WAYS TO PRACTICE Artikeltrennung sorts words by gender. Gegen die Uhr races the clock. Überlebenstraining takes a life for every miss. Paare finden is a matching game. Hören & Wählen trains your ear with audio only. Diktat has you write what you hear. Einer muss gehen makes you spot the odd gender out. Shadowing listens back and scores your pronunciation. DUEL A FRIEND — OR A BOT Challenge someone in real time: tap the right article before they do. Play a friend, find a random opponent, or face a CPU character with its own name, title, and rating. Every duel counts toward a leaderboard and your match history. STAY ON TRACK Daily streaks, a reminder at the time you choose, and a collection view that fills in as you learn — so progress is something you can see, not just feel. Free to start, with a Pro upgrade for learners who want more. Contains ads and optional in-app purchases. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DER at 100% against Grammatisch's 72%. DER also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Grammatisch's advantage is ratings volume (723 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
