Ratings and reviews

I've used this app for years and have always loved it, it's one of the most accurate translation apps in my opinion. However, since they've updated it, it's extremely difficult to use. The user experience is terrible now, the compact view is gone, the colors are difficult to read, and it takes way more time to sort through vocabulary suggestions because of the updated view.

Well done dictionary app. I use it all the time and being able to check conjugations on the fly is very useful for beginners. My only issue is sometimes when I search the sesrch screen will go away and instead of showing me the results it'll show me another search screen with my previous search. Hopefully that bug gets fixed soon but it's still great. It helped me a lot in my study abroad to germany.

The dictionary itself is quite good, the app with its outdated UI and its "unique" color scheme not so much. The UX isn't great either, tapping on a forum discussion, for example, usually just leads the user to some sort of mobile homepage, not the discussion itself; retrying a couple times usually (but not always) works. The forums are an important part of what the app has to offer, though, as the dictionary entries are sometimes incomplete or missing.
