Dictionary Linguee Positive Reviews

Perfect tool for any skill levelI am a native English speaker who speaks Spanish well, but not often. For the speaker whose grammar is good, but who needs an active vocabulary of the words you commonly use in English, Linguee is the perfect tool. It’s a very comprehensive translation engine for anyone seeking the context and subtlety that matches the way you normally speak English, without having to flounder around in a static vocabulary dictionary. The beauty is that there are scores of snippets of published speech, so you can easily and quickly choose the translation that most closely matches the closes sense of meaning you intend. I have searched quite a bit, and have yet to find a better product for learning, and for keeping my vocabulary growing. It really works well. -Scott Portland, OR..Ef4tlessVersion: 2.5.3

Awesome!I use it for English to German translations. I can enter a word or two and the app provides a number of choices. Additionally, there are English sentences which are translated into German so that I can find the word being used in various circumstances. This is so helpful in finding the correct useage! It’s very handy when reading online. I don’t have to find my dictionary or open another website-just go to the app and check. An additional useful feature is the back arrow. It allows you to revisit the translations of words you recently looked up so that you can reinforce your memory. And yet another feature is pronunciation. You can press the button and the pronunciation will be supplied. It’s a wonderful app! Thank you very much!.Gobbles!Version: 2.5.4

Contextual clues make it great!For every word there are many examples, many sentences, that show exactly how whatever you are looking up is used in daily life. This is so much better than ordinary dictionary‘s they just give you a definition but don’t show you how people use it to communicate. Ordinary dictionary‘s lead to very stilted and awkward conversational skills in Portuguese. The real value of this program comes when you reach intermediate skills, and can appreciate the value of knowing the many ways a word is used in ordinary conversation. This is not to say that it has no value for a beginner, it does. But it has my conversational skills got better I can do appreciate more the incredible design of this program..Why Did I BeleiveVersion: 2.5.3

Great service, frustrating app bugsI use Linguee dozens of not hundreds of times a day learning German. I am a huge fan! However it also means if I’m running into the same issues all the time, the app freezing, being unable to type / search when returning to the app, it gets really beyond frustrating. I feel like I’m at a point where I don’t want to use another app for my go to mobile dictionary, but I may need to. I think the issue may lie with suspending the app while searching, and it not handling this event properly. Without this one bug of being able to quickly search a term without clicking on a search result causing the app to freeze or sometimes crash, it’s effectively everything I want in a multi-lingual dictionary. Please fix this y’all ;_;.MargaretDaxVersion: 2.5.3

My favorite multi-lingual dictionaryLinguee is a must-have reference app for language learners! It is so easy to use my mom could do it. It offers many languages and it’s easy to switch between them; it even suggests a language if you have the wrong one selected. The example sentences are simple enough to help me understand the connotation of whichever word I’m looking up, and they introduce other new words. Often I can figure out those new words from the context. I love that it automatically looks up whatever is in my clipboard (eg from another app), especially while multitasking with Linguee beside a foreign language text on my iPad. The only thing I would add is verb conjugation. It’s still the best even without that! ¡Muchas gracias!.A'soleVersion: 2.5.2

Pretty goodI’ve been using this app for a good while. But the app hasn’t updated in 2 years. These days since the last iOS 14 update, it started glitching. It keeps saying “Linguee pasted from Wikipedia” or from whatever source you paste from - endlessly, and sometimes without even pasting anymore. The auto clipboard-pasting used to be useful while reading, because it cut some time and gestures if you want to do a quick search. But now, I just had to turn it off. If they don’t update a fix, and you like this app, this ⤵️ is the best option. To make it so clipboard doesn’t automatically paste the word you copied from somewhere: — 1. Open options ⚙️(gear shape on bottom right). 2. Switch off “Look up clipboard content“. 3. Close and reopen app. Now it should be fixed. —- I just paste things myself now. No big deal. Regular review: Linguee is very useful while reading in languages like German and Spanish, and you come across something like “ Das hat geklappt “ or “ imitar “ . It gives some examples of how to use words in sentences, as well as other possible meanings..Titanic RockyVersion: 2.5.2

The only dictionary app I use (for German)This app is amazing. It is very clean looking, easy to use, and available for offline use. My favorite part is the online feature which shows you the use of words in context from the internet. This helps me see how words are used in idioms and phrases, which case certain words take, and reminds me of the grammar rules I’ve forgotten since I last took a language class. My only complaint is that there is no Turkish. I would love a German-Turkish or Turkish-English dictionary on here, especially since I’ve been unable to find any truly trustworthy Turkish dictionary apps. Thanks so much for an amazing product, and hope you add more languages in the future!.Ps.potterVersion: 2.5.1

Good dictionary, fast searchingI am really enjoying the Linguee dictionary so far, and my review focuses on the Portuguese/English portion. The app is very good for finding words quickly—suggestions pop up as you’re typing, and the suggestions even include similarly spelled words. This is particularly useful when you’re not entirely sure how a word is spelled. The translations so far are very good. I really like the examples given below the definitions—seeing words used in the context of a sentence helps cement it in the brain better. However, the dictionary could really use a “favorites” or “flash card” option to review words and phrases. While there is a history of recently searched words, an option to save particular words/phrases would jump this app up to a five star review..Jon_avVersion: 2.5.2

Best offline dictionaryI have been learning spanish for over 3 years and have even traveled to spain to really get a feel of spains dialect (since i want to move there) and during my time in spain, so many areas i was without service or just had junk wifi, and this app literally without a doubt saved me from being locked out of my hotel room because i didn’t know how to say room key. this app won’t give you a translated sentence, it keeps it simple and word to word, no adds whatsoever and overall just a really good app that i’ve used during my travels and time studying spanish. 10/10.KoacoffeeVersion: 2.5.4

Context mattersI’d been depending on Google Translate, which is quite useful — until it isn’t. Google generally tells you what a translation is, and leaves it to you to reverse translate it to make sure it’s what you meant (and even then, there’s no guarantee). Consider the word still. Maybe you mean “I still want this.” Maybe you mean “This lake is so still at 8am.” Or maybe you make whiskey in a still. In Portuguese, at least, these are different words. When Google translates for you, do you *really* know which one it’s suggesting that you say? The wrong word will mean your reader will have ZERO idea what you mean, like: “I elephant want this.” Linguee tells you the part of speech for each word, gives many examples with the word uses in context, and helps you understand different ways the word can be used. I’ve found it helpful to clarify and to expand my vocabulary. I still use Google Translate often — it’s great for certain things — but when I really need to be sure of something, I use Linguee..Cashew GesundheitVersion: 2.5.4

Innovative app in language translationI love that feature where you select and copy a word and switch (or in iPad, multitask) to this app and the appears. Of course it also so helpful to be able to compare multiple translations already done by others. The different approaches taken with similar texts allows you to choose the way you want to go in terms of learning phrases or doing translation yourself. Fantastic! It would be helpful if there were a way to easily choose between the set of translations and the dictionary portion—an ability to switch back and forth..MickmacVersion: 2.5.3

Excellent, but lost quick “share with” feature in iOS 13?Excellent app, particularly for the contextual sentences and list of prominent collocates (the latter of which seems only to be found in Linguee!). It does seem that the ability to look something up directly from another app (say Safari for example) no longer functions with the new iOS 13 update. I really miss that feature, as none of the other translation/dictionary apps quite match what I was getting from Linguee (Reverso is close, and I use it every day in other scenarios, but I prefer Linguee for this particular use case)..Roony45Version: 2.5.2

Great dictionary, but the app itself is glitchy.This app is so far the best of everything I tried in terms of dictionary, there are a lot of usage examples and overall quality is great. On an iPad you can use it in multitasking and it automatically catches what is copied. Five stars without any doubt. = An update. I am still using it as my default En-De dictionary but God knows how glitchy it is. Sometimes it would just freeze for ten seconds or more, sometimes will crash. It has made my iPad restart more than once. This is all really frustrating, so I am lowering the rating to three stars. Still, the dictionary itself is great, really hope devs will fix the app..PaediaterVersion: 2.5.4

Great for translators and language learnersThis app is a wonderful recourse for interpreters and translators, as we are continually expanding our professional vocabulary. Along with a very comprehensive dictionary, Linguee contains a database of actual translations of different terms and phrases so you can see in context which works best for whatever you’re working on. The ability to download the dictionaries also facilitates being able to use them at moments notice. I use it every day and if you work in the language industry or are studying a foreign language, you should too!.Dannyboy91Version: 2.5.2

An AMAZING translation App !!!!This app is a surpising gift for any student. You can download its Dictionary, it directs you to all of the top alternative Internet references, it provides an AMAZINGLY practical resource of many contextual uses for most words, it appears automaticaly in different forms for instant reference and use, it allows convenient “drill-downs” for amplification, relevant synonyms, ‘frequent-use’ suggestions, Instant contextual capturing as you type, and more. As far as I can tell, these German developers saw a “need,” and made and fullfilled a commitment to flll it. Congratulations to all! And Thank You!!!.Arboo27Version: 2.5.2

Best foreign language everI've been through several dictionary apps but Linguee is the best of them. Like other dictionaries, it shows lots of alternative meanings and their examples; besides, there are examples for rare words even when they dont appear their meaning ('cause the word is too long), so that I can understand. The word appears on the app right after being copied from the text is another plus, how convenient! Just on the way to conquer another language but it feels like I'm such a lucky beginner with Linguee-fellow alongside.NeugiersstudioVersion: 2.5.2

Excellent translation app, minor UI bugsI use Linguee a lot to translate from Spanish, and it’s really helping me a lot, especially when the text involves idiomatic expressions — which generally don’t translate well in word by word format. I like almost everything about the app. There is into a small UI glitch when typing text on latest iOS and latest app version, which hides part of the typed text under the left corner of the input field. This makes it hard to correct mistyped letters in the beginning of words. Except for this minor UI glitch, everything is amazing though..GkeramidasVersion: 2.5.2

Amazing app, needs small changes and fixesThe app is truly amazing, the content is well written and the design is fantastic, but I wish that the “pronounce” button is right beside the word without the need to press on the word and then press the pronunciation button, this will save a lot of time and effort when reading a hard article and you need to translate and hear the pronunciation of a lot of words. Also “look up for clipboard” option does not work in split-screen and sliding view. Other than that everything is amazing..Asem HizzaniVersion: 2.5.3

I love this app so much that I’m writing my first ever app review on itMy French 3 teacher recommend this app to my class since it can give you better definitions as well as examples for single words. I’ve also used it for Russian, and one of my best friends who is half Russian also says it’s pretty good too so take that as you will. I just don’t like how you can’t do full sentences, but then again, that’d be less accurate I’d think. All in all I’d give this a 9.5/10..DGW'sVersion: 2.5.4

Great app! Offline dict; sample sentences; related searches; sometimes limited in scope for slangI love this app. Besides the big database of real example sentences, my favorite feature of the app is the drop-down list of phrases using the search word, that updates while you’re typing. You can also download dictionaries for offline use. The only downside I’ve encountered, it doesn’t do well (for Spanish at least) with slang words and phrases; for those, I typically have to look somewhere else. Still 5 stars for a GREAT app!.SteiloppVersion: 2.5.2

Get the true meaningWhen I was in Japan, I asked a couple if they would like a picture together. The boy protectively grabbed his girlfriend and ran off. Without realizing it, I used the inclusive form of “together”- I asked them to take a picture with me! If I had this, I wouldn’t have had that problem! Linguee gives you verified translations that help you find the matching nuances between the two languages. It surpasses dictionaries and gets you closer to asking a native speaker. I can not recommend this enough..LiraDaerisVersion: 2.5.2

Used for English-French TranslationI use this app all the time. I’m American living in France, learning the language. I loved being able to download the vocabulary because I don’t have data most of the time. The example sentences were also one of my favorite features. However, I found that there were not very many food name translations (this could be because of many reasons), however it would have been nice to be able to use this app more for understanding menus. Overall, really love it, so helpful but can still improve!.C'est NinaVersion: 2.5.2

The best German dictionary, held back by extreme stability issuesLinguee is my absolute favorite German dictionary. Great examples, great layout, and overall much more reliable. However, as a rating for this app, it has absolutely horrific stability issues. Switching between apps, to copy a word for example, will cause the entire app to freeze. If the app is restarted while frozen, it will crash the next time it opens. This may not sound so bad, however with the frequency I switch between apps while using Linguee, it holds it back from being as useful as it could be..Squad Of SquidVersion: 2.5.3

Great additional app to utilize for Language Learning NeedsAs we all come short in perfection, so does this App, ... however, utilizing his app alongside a regular translation app like Google Translate will absolutely help you cross examine your target language adequately enough to maintain a high level of interpreting and understanding texts. I personally believe that this is how the app should be intended to be utilized. This app helps gives everyday usage and perspective while a translator gives more direct translation and linear thought..ParagonLike123Version: 2.5.2

Crash often, poor privacyThis app used to be good, but after it starts to require my local network permission it starts to crash frequently. I use my iPhone 8 to study German, now it is to a degree that affected the fluency of my study. A fact that might be relevant is that I use 3D Touch to switch between other apps and this app. 1 As a dictionary app, it requires local network access without explanation. 2 It crashes often..Josh-xieVersion: 2.5.3

Real Life ToolI speak fluent German. I learned it in school and studied it as a college student. I use German almost everyday in my work. But even for the best foreign speaker of a language there is sometimes a certain phraseology or wording that you know would be better in a certain situation. Knowing these nuances is what sets apart native speakers from fluent foreign language speakers. This app bridges that gap and makes it possible, especially in writing, to express yourself more clearly, precisely and in a way that a native speaker would..HerrweaverVersion: 2.5.2

Muy útil!One of the better translation apps out there, especially for tricker words. Example- the English word “cell” has at least 4 common meanings. Jail cell. Cell, as in microorganism. Cell- short for cellular phone. Cell- a group of spies/terrorists in a country. These different uses are listed, and the appropriate translation listed. Then, you are provided numerous examples in context. This app is NOT MEANT to translate large phrases! It is designed as a dictionary. Use it as such, and you will be very satisfied!

Very GlitchyHave had the App maybe about a week now, and almost every time I access the app, it will freeze up on me. I won’t be able to give any keyboard input and none of the app’s controls will work. I can close the app, come back to it at a later time and all will work fine. I give the app 4 stars only because the content is so good. Every time I get a notification of app updates, I’m hoping Linguee will have one to fix this problem, but no such luck..Ed Kaufman, RNVersion: 2.5.4

Practical and helpfulI use it for German-English, and find its translations to be reliable, the examples very helpful in understanding context and usage. But my favorite feature is that it asks you later (on the lock screen) if you remember words you’ve recently looked up. Spaced repetition like this is well understood to improve recall. It’s great to see that the app developers understand that when I look up a word, I don’t just want to see the translation. I want to *learn* it. Love the app!.GordonotspanishVersion: 2.5.2

Bad Pronunciation - unclear word stressingI’ve been using Linguee for a long time now and I’ve been using the German-English part which is definitely very good and everything. However two things bother me: One of which: I don’t know why but whenever I write something in the searchbox it removes what I wrote and writes me previous search in it again and that’s just too annoying. Secondly, although the pronunciations are good and all, you CAN NOT AT ALL find out the word stressing..Swedish rabbit wholeVersion: 2.5.2

Great app with a few issuesI find this app for German vocabulary to be invaliable and easy to use most of the time. It has many good features and the examples are very helpful. It still freezes up regularly, which is very annoying. But the biggest problem I have with it is that a user cannot increase the font size of the text, which is very small. These things need to be fixed, then the product would deserve five stars..Hanslick1956Version: 2.5.4

Great translation, poor loadingAble to see words translated with full context and further references as well as examples used in a sentence. My only problem is swapping between apps or just loading the page is often very slow and is glitchy roaring the keyboard. When pulling up the app once it’s already open it will very often take 5-10 seconds to load and respond and very often not load what I had previously..GenghiskaiVersion: 2.5.4

Happy UserIn order to keep up with my German, I’ve made a commitment with a friend to read at least five minutes of German every day, and then I sent her a text. She does the same thing except she is reading Swedish. This accountability is fun and it also works. I found the Linguee app extremely helpful, easy to use and very satisfying. I feel like I’m learning so much from it. I highly recommend it to other friends who read foreign languages..LonetenorVersion: 2.5.3

Best language dictionary appIt’s the best language dictionary app. I have bought and tried every one I could find and Linguee is the best by far. I am a student learning French and I use it every day. I use it less since I have moved into intermediate level but when I started a year ago Linguee was a huge helper for me. Having tried every other app I could find I can say confidently that they are not as easy to use. There is nothing even close..T NettVersion: 2.5.2

One of my favorite app for many reasons!Love this app. I’ve never had a problem with it. It’s quick, I’m able to find different popular true meanings in many languages, never has crashed, ever! I love how it gives you many translations of on word, tells you the most common to least common, with written examples. This app is great for anyone who is learning another language, who knows another language or just for fun..Beachy BeesVersion: 2.5.2

Great Resource - Horribly BuggyThis app itself is very useful. It is however, also very frustrating to use as nearly after every single time I look up a word, jump to another app, then back to Linguee, that the app freezes or doesn't load. The only way to fix it is to close the app and relaunch. It's very frustrating that this happens so often and it's been doing so for about the last 2 years or more, leading me to use it less and less. Please fix this issue!!!.AMK2K18Version: 2.5.4

Best, easiest translations tool I've used so far.I am a professional interpreter and translator, and I can tell Linguee is coming up with better in context choices than other translating tools. I teach Fundamental of Translation and Interpretation and, I not only use Linguee everyday, but I recommend it to all my students. It’s very user friendly and I always tell them “you have to see the word in context”. Linguee does that..FairqbanVersion: 2.5.2

The only thing . . .I love this app! Definitions, examples, parts of speech, pronunciation. I’d love if conjugations were provided. But the only complaint I have is that the app freezes up and I often have to close it and open it again. I’ve noticed this on my iPhone but not on my MacBook. Another suggestion: Flashcards and games for words I choose as I build my vocabulary. Overall, great job Linguee!.JJdostoevskyVersion: 2.5.4

Great app but slow on older phonesI love this app, and will continue to use it to see if my issues get better. I’m on an older iphone and it takes an average of 3-5 seconds for the app to start responding to input. this generally starts unnoticeable, and as i search more it compounds until it’s faster to restart the app. I love the design, content and UX but the delay makes this app really frustrating for me to use. No hate towards the developers, y’all did a great job and it seems most people are loving it c:.- a Ghost.Version: 2.5.4

It does everything I need! (Almost)It gives me all the information I need including gender of a word, the part of speech, and examples of how it is used. I like the feature that has a pronunciation, but I would still like to see the standard IPA as a reference. Many languages like the language I am learning now, French, are phonetically challenging and having both tools would be highly useful. Once I see IPA for pronunciation, it’s a five star app!.Nicolas’s Review NameVersion: 2.5.4

A Study HelpFor the past several years I have tried to keep my Portuguese language skills sharp. As I read Portuguese and try to improve my comprehension of vocabulary as well as grammar, I find that Linguee facilitates the process. I would recommend this app to anyone trying who has similar goals for staying current in a language that they do not use on a daily basis..FC137Version: 2.5.3

Have not found anything that even comes close!Linguee is the app I have wanted for years and only in the last year discovered. The way words are laid out (I’m mostly using the German to English and English to German) with lots of examples in context is so helpful for teasing out the nuances that you want to employ or avoid. I do a lot of checking of my translations and word usage and Linguee is spot on..ProfBill2Version: 2.5.2

Linguee is a great dictionaryI typically use more than one source when I am studying. Typical dictionaries give you different definitions and some examples but infrequently do they give you context. Linguee gives you that context in a variety of actual examples drawn from actual texts. Other dictionaries can “tell” you what a word means but rarely can they give you the “feel” of the word and it’s proper use. Definitely I recommend Linguee!!!.T10050Version: 2.5.2

Absolutely worth it, but tends freezeThe app is incredible considering it’s free. I like that you can download the dictionaries for free, and I really appreciate the fact that I can search multi-word phrases to translate. The main problem is that the app freezes all the time and is often slow and buggy. If this gets fixed, the app would be perfect..GshwjVersion: 2.5.4

Great app, if only it wouldn’t keep freezingThe beauty of Linguée is the list of source references for each word that gives you some context. This is very helpful when a word has a secondary, figurative meaning. A combination of the various dictionary meanings of a word and usage examples is unbeatable. The only problem is that the app freezes regularly - maybe every half-dozen times it’s accessed. Closing and re-opening the app fixes it, but it is *by far* the worst app on my phone in this regard.

Dictionary Linguee Negative Reviews

Almost good but fatally flawedI’ve been using this dictionary a lot over the last few months. It has a lot of great features. For instance, it will show you idiomatic phrases related to the word you’re looking up. This is really handy. It also will show you examples of the word in action, culled from the web. It is however, unstable and more dependent on Internet access then it claims to be, even if you’ve downloaded an offline dictionary. Periodically after a dozen or so look ups the application starts to get very slow. Often I will type of word and nothing happens for 10 to 15 seconds. Over time this gets worse until finally the only recourse is to force quit the application and restart it. This morning I reached the final straw. I fired up the app and noticed that it said I didn’t have an Internet connection, which I totally did. Looking upwards now simply spawns a spinning wheel and never any definitions. So I guess I’m done with it. It’s too frustrating..CrackWildingVersion: 2.5.4

Privacy concerns with appFirst of all I love the service and the function it provides. However, the app refuses to do anything without local network access, and Linguee is very dodgy about revealing what it is needed for. They claim it is to access an “integrated network server,” which from what I can tell is basically nonsense jargon to confuse people into clicking ‘yes.’ When questioned in an email they responded that they “cannot disclose any further technical details about our app,” which seemed like a very strongly worded non-answer if it really was something simple and benign. They won’t even let you use your offline dictionaries. You either grant them unfettered access to your local network and connected devices or you don’t use the service. I’d love an explanation of what could be so important and why they must be so secretive about it..ColiphonicVersion: 2.5.3

Requires permission to explore your home networkUpon first launch, this app asks for permission to “find and connect to devices on your local network”. It claims to need this in order to connect to an “integrated network server”. As someone who’s done systems and network administration for three decades now, I don’t know what that is, and I’m pretty sure I don’t have one, so I denied permission… and then the app simply does nothing. I could enable the setting and allow it, but then that lets the app have access to my home network? No thanks. If it needs Internet access, that’s fine. If that’s what this means, then it’s horribly presented. And according to a forum I found online, the company responded to someone else with this query with a very unhelpful response, so… 1 star, and app deleted. Sigh… I’ll keep looking..LindesVersion: 2.5.4

I wish I could give five starsThis is the best dictionary app, hands down. But I’m giving it 1 star simply because it crashes and freezes constantly. I’m sure the developer is busy with deepL, but apps crashing really should be a thing of the past, especially given that this is just a repackaged port of their website. Also, when you tap the search bar, it will not automatically select and/or clear the previous input, so I find myself constantly typing a word, realizing it’s sandwiched up against my previous search term, and going in to edit it. This is a pretty small thing, but then again, it’s contrary to basically all other search bars, and annoying to have to do again and again..Anonymous3875446Version: 2.5.4

Bogus app request for network permissionsThis app is very suspicious. First, they avoided updating their app for ages to avoid filling out the now mandatory “App Privacy” section of the App Store entry. Second, it will not run without access to the local network, claiming it needs to connect to a server that it runs and it’ll never connect to any other service. This does not make sense from a technical perspective: iOS does not allow apps to start services. At all. Ever. Google it if you don’t believe me, a professional developer. This explanation does not make any sense. Finally, when I gave up on the app and jumped over to their website, I found more cause for concern. Like the rest of the internet, they added the EU-mandated “do not track” box with a little on/off slider, but they intentionally implemented it in such a way that it is hard to operate: you have to tap on it many times for it to toggle. These developers are clearly not being honest with us. That’s too bad, because this was a nice app I’d have been willing to pay for (even subscribe to!) if they weren’t so sketchy..KilpatjrVersion: 2.5.4

Either full scam or part scamAll the 5 star reviews convinced me to give this app a try. I was particularly interested in offline dictionaries, and having multiple languages was enticing. However upon first launch the app asks for access to my home network, for vague and dubious reasons. There is zero reason why this app needs access to my home network, other than nefarious reasons. They do not elaborate in the app or in app’s description. It’s not needed to download the dictionaries, which you can still do in settings. But they try to convince you by saying it’s needed for the app to function. Clearly they are mining user data and don’t want to disclose it. That’s a hard pass for me..Spencer RogersVersion: 2.5.4

Doesn’t work anymoreI used to love this app but now when you enter a word to translate it gets stuck it just spins..Nic8638643Version: 2.5.2

Updated phone now I’m having issues!Updated my iPhone and now when I copy and paste something from twitter for example, the “copied and pasted from twitter” banner keeps popping up over the search bar and I can’t see what I’m typing. I have tried deleting the app, shutting off my phone, and countless other efforts but nothing seems to work. Love this app, will rate 5 star once the glitch is resolved and the app is updated..LidiafooteVersion: 2.5.2

Doesn’t work anymore :/Was a great app and it still can be, but it currently does not work at all on my iPhone 11 running iOS14. Please fix it! I’ll even pay a bucks for it!.Constantly resettingVersion: 2.5.2

Was great but broken on iOS 14 on iPhone 7Was a great app until it’s broken now on iPhone 7 with iOS 14. Any search either shows a blank white screen or gets stuck at the loading screen forever. Once this is fixed, I will reconsider the rating..RadioFemur2440Version: 2.5.2

Why you want to know all my devices connected to my home network?After the latest update it starts to ask for more permission to collect more data..SanstimbreVersion: 2.5.4

Why is the app always hanging?Great app but always hanging. So frustrating. Can it be fixed?.Dr_MollyVersion: 2.5.4

Major Bug in Search EngineUnfortunately, Linguee does not have a reporting option on their website to bring up the bug that I am experiencing frequently. As a professional translator, I heavily rely on this application in order to deliver accurate terms and it’s unfortunate that they’re unable to receive vital feedback. I have owned this application for over three years and the same bug persists: After looking up a term, the term remains in the search bar and you are unable to clear the search result even after 10 to 15 seconds clicking the clear button. For professions relating to mine, time is of the essence, and therefore this issue remains a critical one. Developers, please, for the love and sake of fellow linguists, and language specialists, please fix this nonsensical bug..Jmacker24Version: 2.5.4

Security ConcernsThis app requires to connect to your local network even when you have downloaded a dictionary to use it offline. No other dictionary requires this. Until they properly explain why they do so without hiding behind the ridiculous excuse “we cannot disclose the technical details”, I prefer to have the app uninstalled..L’argVersion: 2.5.4

Forced LAN accessJust so you know, I deleted the app as soon as I noted that you demand local network access. Ridiculous!.MeangirlhunterVersion: 2.5.4

Why would you need access to local network?You can’t do anything with this app unless you give it access to local network. This doesn’t make sense..DsilvaVersion: 2.5.4

Was great, now asks to access other devicesThis app in itself is really good, but is now asking to access my other devices and my local network, which is completely unnecessary, hence the single star. Going back to using the web version..4meedableVersion: 2.5.4

Loading issuesWhen you enter a word it takes a long time for it to load the translations, and I’m not the only one my entire class has this issue. It’s also not the wifi because it doesn’t work at home either..Student at a high schoolVersion: 2.5.3
