Outdated app
Don’t buy it. The PONs translator does a better job. The format of this one is not easy to read and feels like a clunky 10 year old app. Wasted $22.
United StatesFree apps like dict.cc and linguee are better
It’s very frustrating to buy the PONS app and then discover that I have an easier time finding numerous words when I use dict.cc or linguee apps, which don’t cost anything (except a pittance if you want to get rid of ads). I hardly ever use the app anymore because I’ve had so many fruitless searches on it. That said, I’ve lived in Germany for 15 years and only tend to look up “difficult” words. They still ought to be in the dictionary, though.
United StatesPons Advanced German-English Dictionary
I chose this from the various Pons offline German- English dictionaries because of the intermediate cost and its features. The entries are exact matches to those I've compared with entries in my hardcover copy of their 2001 Deutsch-Englisch volume of the Pons Worterbuch fur Schule und Studium (add umlauts). I'm happy with my choice.
United StatesAlmost perfect for daily use (Version 3.11)
The lastest update crashes on my iPhone 4 under iOS 7.1.2, it stays in the background but user Interface always disappears after a few seconds. Please fix this quickly. I purchased this app quite a while ago and found the available entries to be sufficient even in daily use in business and engineering. The Version 3.11 added comprehensive lists of irregular verbs, flash cards for easy learning and audio output. What would make it even better is a flag at the top indicating which language you are entering combined with switching to the right keyboard layout. Also an option to upgrade from advanced to business or premium with only paying differential price would be nice.
United StatesGood for offline use
I love that I can get to this on my iPhone 5 even in airplane mode and that they have a decent amount of pronunciations. This isn't Leo.org but gets me through most questions I have. Overall pretty good little pocket dictionary.
United StatesFrustrating and non intuitive Flashcards
The instructions and user interface for flash cards is just bad and not intuitive. After struggling for some time and trying to make sense of the "Help", I gave up.
United StatesIOS 8 update
