Extremely disappointed with Langenscheidt. No pronunciation symbols? – German <-> English Talking Dictionary Professional Review

Most striking of all there are no text pronunciation symbols for German words. How is that possible when even Lagenscheidt's little yellow pocket dictionaries have this feature?? Additionally, there are no verb conjugations for German verbs. This app is clearly geared toward German speakers: the English portion does offer both features, while the German portion doesn't. I feel somewhat disatisfied with this app given the hefty pricetag I paid. Although the talking aspect is useful, only certain words will have audio proununciations and this makes pronunciation symbols all the more vital. Ultimately I'm left feeling cheated (not a great feeling). I think this product will be useful for Germans learning English, but of dubious value for individuals learning German given the lack of pronunciation symbols and a German morphology module.
