German Dictionary for Learners

I’m a beginning learner of German. I bought the online upgrade of this app and have so far found it very useful! Every entry has a list of different forms of the word, synonyms, etc. and examples in sentences. I also love the unlimited word lists that I can create so I can save new words I’ve learned. The AI chat is handy, if not all that comprehensive. The only problem I have is that some fairly common words such as “Bekannte” are not included. That makes me wonder how complete this dictionary is. I’ll probably need to find a bigger and more comprehensive one later. But for now this one suffices my needs for the most part. P.S. Some entries are confusing and I (as a beginner-learner) suspect erroneous. For instance, “ziemlich” is categorized in this dictionary as an adjective while it’s more like an adverb. Interestingly, the AI teacher also said it’s an adverb. I don’t know. I’d consult other dictionaries when there’re doubts. “Dschungel” has all three genders but should be only masculine.

This is a pretty solid app and has definitely already shown itself to be useful in learning German. However, I do think it could use some work, namely the chat text entry doesn’t retain focus after pressing send, so I have to refocus it each time, which isn’t a deal breaker, but is kinda annoying, also, sometimes after doing a search for a word and clicking on a definition the search pane no longer opens another definition and I have to restart the application to continue using it. These things specifically happen on my Mac and iPad, it works better on the iPhone, but it would be nice if it could be fixed, as I like having the offline dictionary available on my laptop and iPad.

Excellent app, very well designed and executed: bravo! The Flashcards are especially great and I have been using them extensively. However, when using the “success” filter (X to 9), I suggest the “0/zero” value should show unseen/unrated cards which would allow the user to go through cards they haven’t yet reviewed. Presently, nothing ever shows up for 0 and there is no way to filter for unrated cards. (Rating them makes them jump from X to 1 without going through zero, so the 0 value is presently useless!)
