Reviews

  • Free apps like dict.cc and linguee are better

    By Berliner
    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.
  • Pons 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.
  • Almost 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.
  • Good 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.
  • Frustrating 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.
  • IOS 8 update

    Since I am completely new to learning languages, I need something comprehensive and approachable. I want to spend my money and feel like I got my money's worth. I have downloaded several other language software before and been disappointed. Not this time. I have learned more in the past hour than I could possibly imagine. I am very happy with the way this software works, and while I am still figuring out how it works, I have found it pretty easy and intuitive to use
  • It works as advertised!

    Once you have the software installed on the main computer (I had a little trouble with that part, but after some repetitions it worked ), and user email and password is set, the mobile app works well, and I am enjoying doing a majority of my study on my mobile device.
  • Well worth the price

    Thanks for fixing the pronunciation-through-the-speaker bug! It's so great to have such a comprehensive dictionary able to fit in the pocket and to be accessible instantly and offline. Definitions show context and usage. I use it all the time and I'm very happy with it. The "favorites" list is helpful to store words for later review. A few things could be improved: 1. Splash screen: Eliminate it. It wastes time. 2. Inflexion Table: There is now a list of irregular verbs (lacking subjunctive forms), but I wish each verb had its own inflexion table, like one would see in Canoo. Declension tables for adjectives would be nice, too. 3. Optional Download of Pronunciations: Allow user to delete English (or Deutsch) pronunciations to save memory. One doesn't need both sets. 4. More Deutsch Pronunciations: Only the base words have pronunciations. There is a pronunciation for "Rock" but not the more-difficult plural "Röcke". There is one for "sein", but not "wäre", one for "werden" but not "würden".
  • Extremely useful

    Could still use conjugations and der die or das with the nouns in the word list, but a great resource.
