Ratings and Reviews
Expectations not met
In the description it was mentioned that the dictionary contains plural form of nouns.
Well, I found this form only for a couple of words I looked up.
It’s definitely not for all words there (unlike standard dictionaries). Feeling confused and unsatisfied.
Although the dictionary has many entries, it is still missing lots of words that are commonly used in real life.
Developer Response ,
The plural form is indeed shown for each and every noun: Tap on the flag symbol until the Swiss flag becomes visible and select a noun, let's say «Frau». Under «Plural» you will see «-e» (this means plural of «Frau» is «Fraue»), or for «Gascht» you will see «Gescht». If you see «no pl» this means that this word has no specific plural form (e.g. the plural of «Gedanke» is «Gedanke»). So the plural is there for all nouns.
The dictionary contains the most frequently used words (3'500 lexemes) and with the full-text search you can find even more. Send us your list of commonly used words in real life, so we can integrate them. If you are not satisfied you can ask Apple for a refund.
