German dictionary
Great dictionary, highly recommended
Verbs
Not all the verbs have explanations!!!
Update Delayed
Please update the software more often!!!
What happened to the old icon?
I don’t understand the new icon. Please bring back the original one! Otherwise: Best English-German Dictionary
Serious omissions
A good dictionary for basic level users. There are however some serious omissions. Thank God for other Apps like Reverse Context. I expected better from Collins, given the price point of this App it is very disappointing
Danke
Es Ist wunderbar
Terrible Product
After a month, I find this dictionary to be awful. It looks like the developer rushed to release the product without any quality control. The pronunciation is terrible; it sounds like computerized sounds rather than a human speaking. Most words are chopped or spoken robotically too fast, and a very large percentage of the words are spelled rather than spoken. For example, when playing the word “ich”, the app spells “i, c, h” instead of speaking/pronouncing the word. I started creating a list with these instances but stopped because they were too many. The French dictionary was much better, but I do not recomend the German version. I’ll try getting a refund.
Limited
I cannot use this app by itself, needs more colloquial expressions. A suggestion: please add the option to write a word instead of just typing. Nevertheless, it still my first go to for translation, especially for verbs and conjugation.
Disrupts audio playback
This has been an essential app for me ever since moving to Germany and in general an excellent tool. However, since the last update, opening the app causes any audio currently being played to stop. This is very frustrating and causes me to use other apps instead. I contacted their support over half a year ago and there have been no updates or fixes since then.
Ms
The dictionary and its features are excellent. However, although it works fine on my iPad, it will not open at all on my iPod touch which is very annoying! I would be pleased if you could fix this as soon as possible. Thanks!
Great!
It is a great dictionary, with many usage examples. It has many words in it that my previous paid dicionary did not. So glad I found it.
Missing key words and phrases
The gaps ought to be covered.
Annoying request to rate
Should have been 5 stars, but App will continue to insist on your review
Not scholarly
This dictionary has the advantage of providing verb conjugations, which is helpful for me, who only have a reading knowledge of German. That, however, is not really worth forking over $25. This dictionary fails to provide the kind of diversity of definitions available on a lot of free applications and on free websites. I use Linguee's application in tandem with this application, but Linguee does not provide conjugations or less common noun inflections. You can download multiple language dictionaries through the Linguee app, so I use it for French and Italian as well. For online access, LEO.org and Linguee's website are the most helpful if your goal is to decipher German academic prose.
Consistently crashed
...immediately when opened. App was up-to-date version. Deletion and reinstall of app solved the crash problem. iPhone 5, iOS 6 - latest version
Worth it!
I was hesitant with only 2 reviews and it costing $25. In hindsight I'm very happy with this purchase. The app runs smoothly (using latest OS on a 6s Plus) and is very slick. It includes everything one needs when learning a new word in German: meaning, conjugation, whether the verb is used with akkusativ or Dativ, as well as examples. I highly recommend this app.
Don't Buy German Dictionary
Perhaps I don't know how to use the dictionary, but in German, knowing the gender of a noun is absolutely essential to everything else. But, eg look up "haus" and it gives NO gender. The same for many other words. How can Collins say they understand about languages when they miss out this fundamental information?? Apologies to Collins if I am not using the dictionary correctly, but I cannot see this gender information. So don't buy this expensive, useless dictionary.
Essential app
Good use of words in everyday phrases. Verb tables are invaluable.
This German Dictionary Is Not So Hot
For $25 this should be VERY good. It is barely mediocre. I found this by trying to check a word I thought I knew, Unrat. This occurs in The Blue Angel, the nickname the students give their professor--this is a classic! But this word is NOT in this dictionary. So I got out my paper Collins German dictionary--not unabridged--it had Unrat. I began a side-by-side comparison, and after a couple of dozen extensive tests, I would say this online version has between 2/3 and 70% of the entries of my paper version. For me many of the missing words are important, like Unrat. Whoever did the deleting knows little of German culture. I'm going to try to get my $25 back.
Great app, but need to fix the crash and the favorites
Best German dictionary there is. Conjugations, plural, gender are all present and very usable. Most words come with example sentences. Feature wise, I can only nitpick that the favorite list can use a different sorting option. There is no pronunciation, but once you learn a bit of German, it's not a problem really. Having said that, it has happened to me twice that the app would crash on startup. I had to reinstall to get around the problem. If this is solved, this app would be an easy 5 star. Update: There is one other serious performance bug. If you have many favorites (more than 200), the speed & responsiveness of the app become an unbearable drag. Since any serious learner would have many favorites, this is unacceptable. I'm lowering the raring to 3 stars until this is resolved.
Very useful and complete
It can be said one of the best and complete german english dictionary in app store. In this version by adding the conjugation tools by swapping to left, its very useful to learn verbs conjugations easly.
Good product, turned bad.
It saddens me to write badly about this dictionary. It was good, it׳s now nearly useless. No browsing. No fuzzy search. No wild card search. None of the features that used to be so good. Please restore these immediately. Without them this product is useless.
First-rate!
Very pleased with this dictionary. I really like the multiple examples of the word's usages under many entries. It is also exhaustive enough for me (in case I cross paths with an old or rare word that isn't in here, I have a free dic with a huge number of entries but no usage examples). The verb conjugations are very comprehensive and useful, and the whole design is clean and satisfactory. Heartily recommended!
It's still a great app
I use this app probably every hour of my waking life....so it's my top app among scores of apps on all my apple devices. Have found the rotation issue disconcerting, but it's a recent problem and i'm sure the developers will fix it soon ... So let's give them a break!
Brilliant until it crashed
What a great dictionary - especially the verb tenses. However, it crashed two days ago and is now useless!
Awesome
I have the French and German dictionary apps from Collins, and both are grear because they will parse words for you, and you can put an inflected word into the search bar, and it will give you the meaning of that form and the dictionary definition of the base form. Very, very helpful for learning a language. I used the French one to read a book; I didn't know French when I started, but can read it fine now,clargely thanks to the Collins dictionary. Highly recommended.
Completely broken
The new iOS7 update makes all three of my Collins dictionaries crash immediately on launch. That's an investment nearly $100 rendered completely useless. Fix this!
Hm.
I like this quote a bit, but I wish there was an audio component. German is so strange-sounding, and I want to make sure I capture that strangeness correctly.
cross references not working
some cross references are not working. For example when a German word is tapped for cross referencing, the app switches to the English dictionary and, naturally , does not find the word. (try gelungen to gelingen) The APP seemed to be working better prior to the update.
Why?????
Great app, but keeps crashing!!!!
Good interface & easy to use
Pretty pricey but great on the go dictionary. Far more functional than paper copy. The only better feature might be pronunciation, but not critical for intermediate (and beyond) speakers.
Great when it worked
I loved it when it worked, but now app just crashes. Will update if issue is resolved. Expensive app to have it not work.
Great app, with one little issue
This is easily the best German dictionary app. A lot of care was put into making the interface clean and intuitive. The only issue is that it's clumsy to close definitions. You open a definition by tapping on the word, but to close you have to click on a little "arrows" button on the other side of the screen. The definitions also stay open forever, so after awhile a bunch of definitions are open. I'd expect them to be closed automatically at some point, like when you open the app.
Meh...
I wish I'd bought Ultralingua's cheaper version of this app. I don't feel this one was worth the extra money.
Wortschatz schwach, Preis dafür zu teuer
Collins Pro, wobei Pro scheinbar nur den Preis rechtfertigen soll. Schade! Der Wortschatz ist leider sehr gering.
Great App
Use it almost daily.
Vocabulary?
24.99 and it does not have words like "purview"???
iPad flaws
Excellent content, including common phrases. I agree with other reviewers that the fonts and layout are user friendly. I am unable to find the advertised flash card feature and on the iPad the FAQs are cut off after 2-3 lines. Apparently no other help features on the iPad version.
Genders of nouns
Am I missing where the dictionary tells you the gender of the noun? When trying to determine the appropriate article to use, it would be helpful to find this information easily. Also, for $25 could you not include some general grammatical reference charts? The app is way over priced for what you get. Can't believe I'm saying this, but a regular German-English dictionary in book form would be cheaper and more helpful.
Not a bad little app
Efficient GUI. Very useful quickly referencing searched and contextual words then getting into the particulars like conjugation. Fine tool. Worth $25, or $20 for the other version so 5 stars? I dont know. I think I got's geshlaucht, so purchase if you dont care. $15 for this particular app, Id rate it 5.
Great resource
I've used this app for several years now. It's been a great resource. Love the new set up and the conjugation tables are great.
Buggy
If you click on a German word (for example ziehen) to get a definition, instead of sending you to the German page, it sends you to the page for the English word "ziehen" (there is no such word) and the program says "No Entries Found."
Great
Great update, but after update I couldn't open the app, had to reinstall it. At least it is working now.
Meh
For 25 bucks I expected a lot more. My biggest complaint is that there is no way to make vocabulary lists. Most all electronic dictionaries have this function and I certainly would like to see it added. At a bare minimum there should be a way to bookmark words. This dictionary only gives you history which is nit enough. Additionally, audible pronunciation should be a feature given this price point. That all words are hyperlinked is nice, but it's not enough to justify the cost. Layout, design and usability are the merits of this app. Please add more features so I don't feel like such a sucker for shelling out $25! Thank you kindly.
Ok but Not worth the cash
This program is only OK. I find I Need to restart it several time durring my German classes because it no Longer Open the keyboard. Will not speak the word for you though, which for 25 bucks one would think it should.
What a great update!!
This new version is great! I love how with each word you can see where the accent falls for good pronunciation. I also really like how the definition comes up immediately without having to click on the definition/conjugation you're looking for. Another great update is the fact that there are no longer the three sections for definition, conjugation and number. It makes things much faster. Also no freezing! This was such a problem for me especially because I need these definitions very quickly. My job requires me to speak several languages all day long, and without these apps me succeeding in my job would not be possible! I have the Spanish, Italian, French, and German apps and thank you so much for each one! They are such a big part of my life!
Extremely disappointing!
The first word I looked up wasn't there - besudeln - nor were several others. Their French/English dictionary is wonderful but this one, German/English, is NOT worth a small fraction of the price.
Updated previous review
Found plurals after using for a few weeks. Very happy with app now - but as the comment on my previous review stated, having plurals more accessible would be nice. (Reply from seller of app to my email would have been nice too). Changed review from 1 to 4 stars.... This app does not give plurals for German words. Some words (like "brother" were missing the German word altogether. "Carrot" listed the botanical word, not the common spoken word "die Karotte". Karotte was listed nowhere!!!! I took a chance, but now I'm sorry. iTunes Terms and Conditions say "all sales are final". Apple doesn't even allow a 1-day return policy. Thanks Apple!!!! I will never purchase another app on iTunes.
Disappointed
Enough said… I'm taking a German class and most of the words I wanted to look up weren't there. I was really hoping this program would have helped me out for a high price, but no!!
Update 1.2.4 made things worse
In general it is a very useful tool for students learning German. Definitely one of the better dictionaries out there. However, there are some issues have yet to be fixed: when clicking on a German word found within the definition of another German word, it attempts to look for the word in English. A recently introduced bug with v1.2.4 is that when switching among verb conjugations, the tense default to präsens each time. This is very annoying when you are working with a different tense as for each verb you have to re-select the tense. Please fix these little bugs.
