Love the app! Minor bug suggestion

Excellent app, very well designed and executed: bravo! The Flashcards are especially great and I have been using them extensively. However, when using the “success” filter (X to 9), I suggest the “0/zero” value should show unseen/unrated cards which would allow the user to go through cards they haven’t yet reviewed. Presently, nothing ever shows up for 0 and there is no way to filter for unrated cards. (Rating them makes them jump from X to 1 without going through zero, so the 0 value is presently useless!)

Great app with errors & words missing

I’m a beginning learner of German. I bought the online upgrade of this app and have so far found it very useful! Every entry has a list of different forms of the word, synonyms, etc. and examples in sentences. I also love the unlimited word lists that I can create so I can save new words I’ve learned. The AI chat is handy, if not all that comprehensive. The only problem I have is that some fairly common words such as “Bekannte” are not included. That makes me wonder how complete this dictionary is. I’ll probably need to find a bigger and more comprehensive one later. But for now this one suffices my needs for the most part.P.S. Some entries are confusing and I (as a beginner-learner) suspect erroneous. For instance, “ziemlich” is categorized in this dictionary as an adjective while it’s more like an adverb. Interestingly, the AI teacher also said it’s an adverb. I don’t know. I’d consult other dictionaries when there’re doubts. “Dschungel” has all three genders but should be only masculine.

Developer Response
Thank you very much for your great and good review. Words like „Bekannte“ are declined just like the corresponding adjective, because they are derived from them. We have planned to add the most common ones as nouns as well. But for now you can have a look at the adjectives (e.g. „bekannt“).The decision wether a word is an adjective or an adverb is sometimes fluent. But in this case it is very clear. The word „ziemlich“ can be declined and builds comparison forms. Both characteristics of adjectives. An adverb can’t used in front of nouns and builds no other form. But an adjective can usually used like a adverb as well. A good indicator of this usage is the presence of „Predicative“ at the bottom of the adjective page.I suspect the chat means exactly this special usage. A good practice is to ask the chat a second time, like this: „Are you really sure?“ In most cases, the chat specifies his previous answer.

Pretty good, but has some bugs

This is a pretty solid app and has definitely already shown itself to be useful in learning German.However, I do think it could use some work, namely the chat text entry doesn’t retain focus after pressing send, so I have to refocus it each time, which isn’t a deal breaker, but is kinda annoying, also, sometimes after doing a search for a word and clicking on a definition the search pane no longer opens another definition and I have to restart the application to continue using it.These things specifically happen on my Mac and iPad, it works better on the iPhone, but it would be nice if it could be fixed, as I like having the offline dictionary available on my laptop and iPad.

Blurry search needed

I like this app and paid to upgrade. Will continue using for sure. One thing I wish you could change is the word search. Currently it tolerates 0 typos and immediately shows no word matches your search - whether you typed an o instead of ö or simply got a wrong letter at the very end. Both happen often to all of us. I also wish there’s a drop down of words as I search especially if you don’t fix the 0 tolerance problem.. at least with the drop down it’s easier to scroll to the right word so I don’t have to type correctly all the letters left. Again, love this dictionary and just wish to see the improvements. Vielen Dank.
