Does not have it all
     
by Qasem.Z · August 18, 2022

I looked for a vocab like "Ärtzin" meaning female doctor but search result showing "Ärtz" as male doctor, I am a newbie in learing german so look up for the exact word and its pronunciation. However pronuciation engine seemed sounding good.

Does not respect text size settings
     
by Mark Stoneman · March 1, 2023

Great resource if you have perfect vision, especially since it only costs $3 per year to remove ads. But the font size is tiny. The app does not respect one's phone text size settings, nor does it offer an alternative text-size functionality. Thus, the app is useless to me. :(

Great app 👍

I like it so far

Straight Forward

Easy to use with full verb conjugation and ability to use offline for a very small well deserved price

Great dictionary!

Thorough and easy to use.

Pons dictionary
     
by Pupil W. · January 5, 2024

The best and most thorough of any of the many Deutsch-English dictionary I have ever used. Phrases with several words are NO problem. What is important, is not simply to list the various meanings, but to explain them separately.

Awesome translator
     
by Coleschmitty · November 10, 2024

I studied German for 4 years and learned a ton, but haven’t used it in 10 years. This app got me through classes but now it helps me with the words I’ve forgotten. And the speech to text is pretty dang accurate.

Love it sooo much

Best translator I ever used every word it translates for me is right and easy to understand. I have used this app for the past 4 years and it has never let me down. Thank you a lot for this wonderful translation
