German dictionary Customer Insights

1. A very mediocre word & expressions list - in comparison with some FREE German-English offline dictionaries (e.g., "German best dict" or Langenscheidt beta-app); also - it does NOT have any verb conjugation charts, which one would expect from a paid app (available even in some freebies).

2. Honestly, for €20 I expected to have a somewhat useful flashcard option integrated in the dictionary, it is a foreign language dictionary after all and I know that it exists for other mobile phones.

3. I used this "PONS Advanced English-German dictionary" app on my old iPhone and was able to search a word and immediately add it to my flashcard list on my phone within seconds.

4. Just missing the widget and upgrade option.This updated version is very useful!Where is the widget? I like it more than the dictionary itself... Now I can't find it nowhere.The abbreviations in the app are a mystery unless you own a PONS hard copy.

5. You must select that you want to add a flashcard, then add the word (and definition) manually in the separate flashcard app (which is completely user un-friendly btw).

6. Please make it work again.The dictionary itself is fine, the problem is that the flashcard option is not useful.

7. Considering this, the current price ($24.99) doesn't look reasonable... Nevertheless, the app has a great user interface & some nice "bonus features" (i.e., a full text block translation and flashcards).Its ok.

8. The flashcard option is a completely different app and it does not automatically add the currently searched word into the flashcards.

9. Devs, please make a user guide built in to the app.Bitte, nachdem ich die neueste Aktualisierung heruntergeladen hatte, funktionierte die Anwendung nicht mehr.

10. Reinstalling does not help.First it works really good, but now after an update of android it not work anymore.

11. Ich benutze LG Optimus Vu.Had it installed on my Galaxy S1 and it worked for a long time, but now it asks me to reload a reference database of 0MB and the next button is grayed out so I'm stuck on this step.
