Collins German-English for Positive User Reviews
✓ FantasticHow did we ever manage without apps like this. I use this app for four languages and I have the whole language at my fingertips without having to carry a big dictionary around. The verb conjugator is a particularly cool feature..Version: 2.7
✓ Fantastic but one noteworthy shortcoming...I have been living in Germany a few weeks now and am finding this app totally invaluable as I strive to expand my vocabulary. The only shortcoming however is that the plurals of nouns are not given - this could (and definitely should) be included in future updates!.Version: 1.4
✓ Great app!This is really terrific if, like me, you like to listen to German podcasts and learn new vocab as you go. I love the history feature, which really helps with learning vocab. Another thing I really like is being able to click on any word on the screen and jump straight to its definition. Full verb conjugations, including subjunctive I and II, are another impressive feature. A dream feature would be the ability to mark words for learning, though I don't expect it any time soon! Two gripes: the iPhone magnifying glass often doesn't work when you want to edit a word you're looking up and have mistyped (autocorrect doesn't work for German of course!). Secondly, the dictionary is far from exhaustive. Two examples of missing German words that surprised me: Begutachtung and erdenken. It's obviously not cheap either for an iPhone app, but for me it's definitely been worth it..Version: 0
✓ LimitedI cannot use this app by itself, needs more colloquial expressions. A suggestion: please add the option to write a word instead of just typing. Nevertheless, it still my first go to for translation, especially for verbs and conjugation..Version: 2.7
✓ Loving the rewrite!Same level of great content, but looks much slicker now. Thanks for updating, not re-releasing!.Version: 2.3
✓ Updated previous reviewFound plurals after using for a few weeks. Very happy with app now - but as the comment on my previous review stated, having plurals more accessible would be nice. (Reply from seller of app to my email would have been nice too). Changed review from 1 to 4 stars.... This app does not give plurals for German words. Some words (like "brother" were missing the German word altogether. "Carrot" listed the botanical word, not the common spoken word "die Karotte". Karotte was listed nowhere!!!! I took a chance, but now I'm sorry. iTunes Terms and Conditions say "all sales are final". Apple doesn't even allow a 1-day return policy. Thanks Apple!!!! I will never purchase another app on iTunes..Version: 1.4.1
✓ What a great update!!This new version is great! I love how with each word you can see where the accent falls for good pronunciation. I also really like how the definition comes up immediately without having to click on the definition/conjugation you're looking for. Another great update is the fact that there are no longer the three sections for definition, conjugation and number. It makes things much faster. Also no freezing! This was such a problem for me especially because I need these definitions very quickly. My job requires me to speak several languages all day long, and without these apps me succeeding in my job would not be possible! I have the Spanish, Italian, French, and German apps and thank you so much for each one! They are such a big part of my life!.Version: 2.3
✓ First-rate!Very pleased with this dictionary. I really like the multiple examples of the word's usages under many entries. It is also exhaustive enough for me (in case I cross paths with an old or rare word that isn't in here, I have a free dic with a huge number of entries but no usage examples). The verb conjugations are very comprehensive and useful, and the whole design is clean and satisfactory. Heartily recommended!.Version: 2.7
✓ App has its challenges on iphoneI now have this on both my iPad and iPhone. As another reviewer noted 6 years ago, it is sometimes difficult to move from verbs back to the main dictionary. Frustrating - and it doesn’t seem to be very smart. I installed this new app recently because the one I purchased in 2013 froze on my new iPhone. It was simpler just to buy the newer version and with that, I lost all my history for the last ten years, on my iPhone at least..Version: 2.9
✓ Great dictionary and appI have always been a fan of the Collins German-English dictionary, and this app enables me to take it with me wherever I go. Overall the app is simple to use, quick to search and presents the entries nicely. My only quibble is that it would be great to have a link directly from a verb/noun listings to their conjugations. For example, "zurücksehen" is marked as irregular but you have to know to look up "sehen" to find the irregular forms..Version: 2.4.2
✓ ReseńaFascinado con la app ayuda a completar mi vocabulario.Version: 2.7
✓ Love it!Was unsure about the price but I'm glad I bought it. It's like a full-sized dictionary, only better because of how efficient using it can be! Highly recommended for german language learners - you won't need to lug around the big dictionary again!.Version: 0
✓ My go to app for GermanI do come across words that aren't in this dictionary, but the majority are there and the verb conjugation is great.Version: 2.7
✓ RulesI love this app, it is very useful. Anyone out there looking for a dict, get this one. It works well with tons of translations. It has many common phrases and idiomatic ones under each entry. Being able to clicl on any word listed in the definition is real handy too, especially when clicking on a verb and then hitting conjugate..Version: 0
✓ Excellent reference, but .....The changes a few months ago were a massive improvement and I find this app extremely useful. But in the last few weeks it has become very slow. Is this something to do with the iOS 7 update?.Version: 2.3
✓ Fantastic DictionaryFor those unable to open the app due to it crashing, re-download and install it and the problem is solved. A really good app with all the features of a large paper dictionary at a fraction of the size and price..Version: 2.3
✓ Excellent productHighly recommended, collins would have to be best dictionary app.. Perfect for anyone.. Best buy def worth the money.Version: 0
✓ Great app, one small request thoughtI can't praise this series of dictionaries too highly - they are perfect for travel and worth every penny. One small request. I also go to language classes and use the grammar section. This is very useful for looking up the conjugation of different tenses but there is one irritation. If you are doing an exercise on, say Konjunktiv I, every time you look up a new verb the display defaults to the present tense. It would be a smarter app for a smart phone if it remembered the tense that you' d consulted last and defaulted to that, or at least had a preference to do so..Version: 1.5
✓ Good update, but...It crashes all the time! Today it doesn't even open at all! (On an iPhone 4S) Fix it ASAP! It would be 5 stars, but the crashing completely ruins it... It should be 2 stars, but if the bug is fixed then it's a great app..Version: 2.3
✓ DankeEs Ist wunderbar.Version: 2.9
✓ Great little appThe crash on launch problem can be easily resolved by deleting and then redownloading the app. I've replaced my bulky paper dictionaries with Ultralingua apps. I cannot recommend them highly enough..Version: 2.3
✓ Hm.I like this quote a bit, but I wish there was an audio component. German is so strange-sounding, and I want to make sure I capture that strangeness correctly..Version: 2.6
✓ Good dictionary but some faults.Very impressed overall, however crashes in iOS 6 quite frequently... An update to fix this and to utilise the full screen if iPhone 5 would make it a 5 star product!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ All the Good Points: None of the bad.To find a physical dictionary this good then you would have to carry something much larger, possibly five times the size of an iPad. After that you would have to flick laboriously through the pages to find the correct word. This dictionary is fast, concise and able to provide a wide range of alternate words and conjugations; worth every penny..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Expensive, but worth it$30 is expensive. Especially for an app. However, I found this app indispensable during my last trip throughout Europe. It works perfectly and has useful verb conjugations as well. I bought this one and the French one and they both came quite in handy. Even the locals were impressed by the examples. A paper dictionary might be cheaper, but not as handy as this one. The one thing you might consider is whether you need the iPad version or could settle for the iPhone version..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Expensive but worth itIf you are serious about learning German this is a great investment. Works well on the iPad and iPhone. Much faster than a paper dictionary. For those complaining about the crashes...yes it crashes too much. But just delete the app and reinstall. Takes 2 minutes..Version: 2.3
✓ Incredibly usefulLots of real-world examples, especially of words with multiple meanings. Plus it has every conjugation of every verb in every tense, and all the German plurals and genitives. I wish the conjugations were as easy to access in the iPhone version as on the iPad, but in general the interface is very solid as well..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Essential appGood use of words in everyday phrases. Verb tables are invaluable..Version: 2.7
✓ Most useful app I ever boughtI live in Germany, with limited German, and I use this every day. The translations and usage suggestions are really good, and the app is also easy and quick to use. Really well designed, even better since the update..Version: 2.3
✓ GreatExcellent and easy to use. Just what I need for my work.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Happy with my purchase.I've used Collins dictionaries for many decades, the general layout is familiar and comfortable for me. I prefer the blue font in the Collins, and the interface is simple to use. It would be appreciated it Collins would offer one free upgrade for the next version issued..Version: 0
✓ Spectacular new versionWow, the new version is a complete rewrite and it's spectacular. Love the new interface, fonts, menus and speed. Great app!.Version: 2.3
✓ GreatGreat update, but after update I couldn't open the app, had to reinstall it. At least it is working now..Version: 2.3
✓ GreatA dictionary and verb conjugator in one, this saves so much time compared to the paper dictionary I used in college!.Version: 1.5.2
✓ Compact, Well designed, CompleteI would definitely recommend this for anyone who needs a German/English dictionary for school, travel, or work. As some one who is learning German for the second year, I still depended heavily on my old Langenacheidt's dictionary. However this app compresses those 1400 pages into something that I can fit in my pocket AND use without having to be connected to the Internet. So far I've plugged in everyhing thing from adjectives that have been made from verbs to adverbs, both with the specific endings from the context in which I found them. This dictionary figured out precisely which words I meant without any help from me. That, to me, is worth the price alone. Great app. Plain and simple..Version: 0
✓ A great resourceIPad rotation bug fixed…thanks! The best dictionary I've ever used with lots and lots of common phrases in both languages. Also it gives you proper prepositions (with case) to go with these examples. Very handy to have all the conjugations too. The iPad UI is much better than that for the iPhone. Despite what one reviewer said, plurals are there (as well as the genitives) as long as you are on the German to English side of the dictionary, although it would be nice if they had also put them on the reverse side..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Great!It is a great dictionary, with many usage examples. It has many words in it that my previous paid dicionary did not. So glad I found it..Version: 2.7
✓ Excellent DictionaryI am learning German since over two years, and find this dictionary par excellence. It is a great learning resource..Version: 2.6
✓ Great!First impressions very good, like how it gives conjugations of verbs too! Great app! As a student of German at university, I can see this being very useful!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Great app, with one little issueThis is easily the best German dictionary app. A lot of care was put into making the interface clean and intuitive. The only issue is that it's clumsy to close definitions. You open a definition by tapping on the word, but to close you have to click on a little "arrows" button on the other side of the screen. The definitions also stay open forever, so after awhile a bunch of definitions are open. I'd expect them to be closed automatically at some point, like when you open the app..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Very useful and completeIt can be said one of the best and complete german english dictionary in app store. In this version by adding the conjugation tools by swapping to left, its very useful to learn verbs conjugations easly..Version: 2.7
✓ Update DelayedPlease update the software more often!!!.Version: 2.7
✓ Annoying request to rateShould have been 5 stars, but App will continue to insist on your review.Version: 2.7
✓ Excellent and essential resourceI'm living in Germany and learning the language. This has been a huge help so far. A really extensive databse of words, and helpfully illustrated with sentence examples to show usage. The interface is excellent, switching from German to English look-up happens on the press of a button, and the app works really fast. Reading the other reviews here they seem to be awfully hungup on a few very minor points - I am tempted to say it's a bit of nitpicking that misses the real strengths of this app. Certainly I have found this extremely helpful and easy to use. Bought it 8 months ago and still use it daily. Recommended..Version: 1.4.3
✓ Nice!Exactly what I was looking for. Entries have plenty of use cases, which helps a lot. Nice user interface and fast..Version: 0
✓ Brilliant! worth ever cent and more.Firstly, I don't work for Collins or anything like that. I have bought both the Italian/English and the German/English dictionaries and they are brilliant. The ability to click through from any work to look up its meaning or see its conjugations (in all tenses) is great. I use and study multiple languages in the course of my work and these products (together with mental case flash cards (I don't work for them either)) make my study so much more portable and effective. If you're thinking about it, just do it! I love 'em. Ok... I'm a geek. So what!.Version: 0
✓ German Major EssentialGreat complete overhaul of application. Definitely recommend for anybody studying German. Strangley, the English word "whereby" is not in the dictionary, but the German word "wobei" is in the dictionary..Version: 2.3
✓ Outstanding updateVery very impressed at usability since the update, well done. Just two requests: 1) export history word list to an email 2) at-a-glance perfect and preterite forms in first page of conjugator. Thanks..Version: 2.3
✓ Great dictionaryThis is a great, easy to use dictionary. Although it is rather expensive, if you are dedicated to learning the language or just tying to get your language credits I reccomend it..Version: 0
✓ Great rewrite!In one quick look at the update, about a dozen a previous annoyances have just vanished. Brilliant! Thanks for listening and adapting to user experiences..Version: 2.3
✓ Great dictionaryThis dictionary is easy to use and puts words in context so that you can find the best translation. It also shows verb conjugations in a variety of tenses. It is faster than using a paper dictionary and much lighter!.Version: 2.6
✓ WünderbarThough not perfect this application has enough good features to recommend it to anyone needing a good German/English dictionary. As well a being pretty comprehensive it has conjugation tables of every verb. This means I no longer have to take a dictionary and seperate book of verbs when I go to my German lesson anymore. Obviously it's a lot handier when travelling too. Looking words up could not be simpler and every word of each definition links, in turn, to further definitions or in the case of verbs to conjugation tables as well. What would make it better? Well I would have found audio files to help with pronounciation extremely useful. Also some of the definitions contain explanatory notes. It would make more sense if these were in the language of the definition rather than the language bring translated. All in all a very useful dictionary..Version: 0
✓ Love the new updateAfter using this app for many years, I'm loving the new changes to the UI. The search function is super intuitive - none of the hassle of switching languages or between definition/conjugation tabs all the time because all the information is just there in front if you. Great!.Version: 2.3
✓ IndespensibleSee above..Version: 0
✓ Very useful appIn general I have found this an extremely useful app. My only reservation is that in the smartphone version it is now more difficult to move from verbs back to the main dictionary. Sonst sehr gut, besonders Redewendungen, die immer sehr schwierig sind..Version: 2.7
✓ Good interface & easy to usePretty pricey but great on the go dictionary. Far more functional than paper copy. The only better feature might be pronunciation, but not critical for intermediate (and beyond) speakers..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great resourceI've used this app for several years now. It's been a great resource. Love the new set up and the conjugation tables are great..Version: 2.3
✓ Everything I needI'll have to apologize for not saying much, but the other two reviewers are right on the mark..Version: 0
✓ AwesomeI have the French and German dictionary apps from Collins, and both are grear because they will parse words for you, and you can put an inflected word into the search bar, and it will give you the meaning of that form and the dictionary definition of the base form. Very, very helpful for learning a language. I used the French one to read a book; I didn't know French when I started, but can read it fine now,clargely thanks to the Collins dictionary. Highly recommended..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Great AppUse it almost daily..Version: 2.3
✓ Good, but others are even betterBought this in the first place as I needed a dictionary and considered Collins to be good quality. And it definitely is a good choice: The handling is quite easy and is has everything you would expect just as a printed edition in the first place. But as I knew from my Windows Mobile Smartphone, it could be even better, as you might want a digital dictionary to be even better than a printed one: This dictionary has no audio support for teh correct pronounciation and a misspelling can cause trouble as you don't find your words. There are Apps available doing better for the same price - I ended up buying the PONS dictionary as it was released and would say that PONS is the better value for the same price, being much more flexible. So compare carefully before you spend the money twice! Collins is not bad, but others are better..Version: 0
✓ Essential appBrilliant app if you are studying German. Conjugates verbs, provides example sentences and if you are studying overseas you don't need to be connected to the Internet to look up words..Version: 2.7
✓ IPad flawsExcellent content, including common phrases. I agree with other reviewers that the fonts and layout are user friendly. I am unable to find the advertised flash card feature and on the iPad the FAQs are cut off after 2-3 lines. Apparently no other help features on the iPad version..Version: 2.3
