What's new
- Performance improved.
- Bugs fixed.
- New: mark words as “I know it” or “I don’t know it” — from the bottom toolbar on the word page, while training with Flashcards, or by selecting several words in a list at once.
- Marked words get a colour stripe in the lists. You can change this in Settings → Word state display.
- Add the “I know it” and “I don’t know it” lists on the Search page to see those words separately.

Reviews
Five-star reviews of this app on Google Play.
Neat, comprehensive and close to professional dictionary with minimal ads! Simply recommended...
Nice app for me. I am Swiss German practicing German. After being in America for 8 years and 16 years in France my German faded and this Dictionary helps me nicely to refresh my German :D
This is a really helpful app. Great UI and dictionary itself is very good, but I have one suggestion if I may. Could you please make an app with in-built German-English dictionary, the one which is called Oxford German Dictionary. That would be so awesome, if you did it.
Great app. Everything you n Ed to know about a word to learn German and if it all fails and you still don't know what the word is after reading everything in German you'll find a translation for the word at the boto, for most words.
This dictionary has been very helpful to me: it is easy to use; it goes beyond mere giving of word meanings to their etymology, with phonetic transcriptions that aid in pronunciation of words and lots more.
Very detailed entries that include etymology & examples of how the word is used in sentences. Update: extremely intrusive ads, including video & sound, now pop up without warning.
This dictionary is included in the TTdictionary iOS app. Install it, download the dictionary inside the app and activate it. iOS →
