FINALLY. That's reeeaaally great app. And what is more, it's hard to find these kind of diamonds nowadays. I've been looking for this kind of app for a month! It has everything that is needed to learn German from different sides. My biggest herzlich gratitude to developers!

This app has been great in the past. I loved it. But right now whenever I tap on audio of a word it gives wierd electronic sound instead of actual one. I've even downgraded this app to the oldest versions but problem stays the same! Not only their German app, but English Dictionary app by Livio has the same issue, which was never the case in the past! This is very frustrating for me. Kindly do something about it. Thankyou! I'm using it on Samsung S7 Edge.

Most of my words are forever lost (except I was to reread a bunch of books) because for some reason, by default they limit the history to very few words. I don't know what century they live in, but extending the history to a reasonable size would take up a miniscule amount of local storage
