Pros and cons of German Dictionary + © app for iPhone and iPad
German Dictionary + © app good for
I find almost any word I need. I am currently at B1 level of German. The conjugation function is the most useful option.
Great app
Perfect help while learning German in intensive courses
The App is very good and really useful, but as it is to be used offline too, there are several word meanings missing. They must to be updated as soon as possible.
The problem with this app is that sometimes you really have to know what youre looking for, and if youre like me, and trying to learn new words (particularly new forms of words), it can be difficult to find exactly what you are looking for. Overall though, for the price and the content, I do not regret buying this app and it has been very useful.
Needs improvement. Often need to use google translate when I cant find what Im looking for. But still very useful! Needs how to form plurals in German too
In general good program. And for more improvement, It needs little more words. The last Update is great enhacement.
Some bad moments
I loved this app but since the last update it crashes on opening. Can you please fix this?!?
Very poor app. Only present tense conjugations of 100 verbs. Does not even provide past participles.
Bizarre in that even simple words are not in this dictionary. Get others instead like bab.la.
This app has a nice user interface and lots of bells and whistles. But as a dictionary, it has some serious problems.
1. I purchased this app for $9.99 because it boasts 628,000 offline entries, so I thought it would help me read real German literature. I was planning to use the app while on a plane, so the offline dictionary was key. To test the scope of the dictionary, I looked up the words in the first paragraph of my book. In the first paragraph alone there were 12 words not in the dictionary. The dictionary is simply not useful for reading literature.
2. The dictionary offers full conjugations of German verbs, even verbs that are fully regular. This is a nice feature, especially for beginners. However, the dictionary does not indicate the plural form of German nouns. This is a bizarre omission, as the plural form of German nouns is often unpredictable. While the verb conjugations would make this app useful for beginners, the absence of plural forms make this dictionary a very poor choice for beginners.
The dictionary is too limited for advanced students, and omits information that is critical especially for beginning students. So I could only recommend this app to tourists.
Based on the many wonderful reviews I purchased this tool. On the positive side there are many features offered that seem to work reasonably well. If one only needs a quick and easy tool for searching very common words along with verb endings this might be ok for you. But if you are serious about getting a good German dictionary this isnt it. There are numerous errors in gender, spelling, and translation that make this utility confusing to use. On many occasions Ive brought up these errors -- along with the serious omission of noun plurals -- to the authors. Their "canned" response is that they know about it and the next release will fix it. After six months Ive never seen a new release.
I love the app except for one glaring flaw and one minor issue. First, the glaring flaw - it does not provide plural forms of German nouns. Since these forms are irregular, they are essential to have in a dictionary. The minor issue - it could have more words. I regularly get no result when searching for less common German words. There is no limitation of physical space. Add more words please! If these two flaws were fixed, I’d give this five stars.
