A great resource

rhgold53

iPad rotation bug fixed…thanks! The best dictionary I've ever used with lots and lots of common phrases in both languages. Also it gives you proper prepositions (with case) to go with these examples. Very handy to have all the conjugations too. The iPad UI is much better than that for the iPhone. Despite what one reviewer said, plurals are there (as well as the genitives) as long as you are on the German to English side of the dictionary, although it would be nice if they had also put them on the reverse side.

Spectacular new version

Wow, the new version is a complete rewrite and it's spectacular. Love the new interface, fonts, menus and speed. Great app!

German Major Essential

Great complete overhaul of application. Definitely recommend for anybody studying German. Strangley, the English word "whereby" is not in the dictionary, but the German word "wobei" is in the dictionary.

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!

Great

Great update, but after update I couldn't open the app, had to reinstall it. At least it is working now.

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.

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.

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

Good updates a missing feature

Ryan AlGhanemi

Update: The app crushed. I cant simply use it I think I have to delete it and reinstall it. My wish that my favorites won't be deleted. Would kindly synchronize favorites between iOS Devices this way will be more effective. So far the best English German dictionary in iOS I like the new update with ability to save words to favorites and to change the font. Words between Brackets have no "look up" feature only to copy which take more time to find the meaning of the words Please fix it, I'll give you a better evaluation when this is done Please add the feature to freely arrange the Favorites.

iPad flaws

Fulbrighter

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.
