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.
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.
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.
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.
Incredibly useful

Lots of real-world examples, especially of words with multiple meanings. Plus it has every conjugation of every verb in every tense, and all the German plurals and genitives. I wish the conjugations were as easy to access in the iPhone version as on the iPad, but in general the interface is very solid as well.
Meh...

I wish I'd bought Ultralingua's cheaper version of this app. I don't feel this one was worth the extra money.
cross references not working
mo[re]vie[w]
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.
Great

A dictionary and verb conjugator in one, this saves so much time compared to the paper dictionary I used in college!
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!
