Ratings and reviews

I really find this dictionary amazing. With its accurate translations it's definitely one of the best. However, it's got a big shortcoming when it comes to idiomatic expressions. In many cases when you look up a phrase, a proverb, an idiom or an expression, it shows the meaning of its components separately, although the combination has a different meaning as idioms and expressions mostly do and that is what exactly learners look for. I hope the developers can find a way to solve the problem.

Outstanding service with a great, ad-free app. With that said, it's not optimized for modern aspect ratios - my phone is 18.5:9 and I have a black bar at the bottom of the home screen. Also, the main menu should not keep prompting me to show translations in other apps. I don't want to; I open Linguee when I need it. A dark theme would be very welcome as well.

Great dictionary, love the translation popup when you copy text to your clipboard in other apps. Makes it super quick to read the news in my second language. Only qualm: the history fills up fast and crashes when I open it. There should be a limit on the number of entries in there. It would also be great if you could add a way to export history, would make a great way to create vocabulary lists. Thanks! ♡
