Pros and cons of Großes Englisch Wörterbuch app for iPhone and iPad

Großes Englisch Wörterbuch app good for

Very convinient dictionary, concise, easy to retreive entries, sound module gives the precise prononciation. Great application. As a non native German speaking person, I hope to get in the next release the form of German verbs.

It works, lists a lot of vocabulary and helps me a lot when travelling around my family birth country Germany. What is really great: Listen to native sounds. All in all: Thumbs up!

Flash card feature greatly appreciated. Like being able to use when abroad and not connected to phone/Internet. Translations useful. Highly recommended.

Some bad moments

too many words missing. i did not find "nuke" in this dictionnary. and so many other words. disappointed

Can you add a swipe feature... So I can swipe from one word to the next?

Reading the description it would appear you can display conjugation tables easily. You can but only for English words. Forget about using this for studying German. It is a rip off.

It is a totally unhelpful dictionary. It doesnt have anything about grammar in German. Dont waste your money on none of Langescheid appstore dictionaries. And Userinterface is not easy to use. It could have been much better...

Would be so much easier if it showed you the plural Form. Would also be much better if it just recognized German or English Words as you Type like other aps. The anagram function does not seem useful. The Leo ap is much quicker and free. Wish I found it first.

Do not buy if trying to learn German. The translations and information to German are not strong - lack of plural German nouns - lack of conjugated German verbs!
