ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dictionary Linguee holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dictionary Linguee has 11K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Dictionary Linguee's written reviews are positive against 100% of Huh? Dictionary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dictionary Linguee ships an update every 2 months, Huh? Dictionary every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
