Ratings and reviews

The dictionary itself is very good; actually one of the best. But in my opinion some extra things can make it better. -Unlike the iOS version no flash card is implemented here. -The word's meanings are dominated by utilizing black color and I find it easier if some info would have been colored. - The email provided in this page does not work. - It would have been nice if the verb tables were also added. - The definition of "Abkurzung" is in an odd place. Again the iOS app did it better.

As a dictionary it is great. It has all the definitions needed and makes more accessible over a paper dictionary. On the other hand, as an app (Android) it lags behind other options out there, many of them free of charge. The interphase is quite basic, you can not search for new words without having to go back to the main menu, no flashcards, etc. Things that can be found on the app description for ios. It is basically a digital paper dictionary. Hopefully will improve their UX soon.

It is a very good dictionary, but I don,t know and don't understand how does it work in laptop and windows 10? And other problem for windows 10. I try troughs Mikrosoft stores this app for my laptop to buy, but in billings form I can't change the name of the country. It is now united state, but my adress is germany. What can I do?
