1. 5/5Awesome!

   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!

2. 4/5Good dictionary, fast searching

   I 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.

3. 5/5My favorite multi-lingual dictionary

   Linguee 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!

4. 5/5Pretty good

   I’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.

5. 5/5Perfect tool for any skill level

   I 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.
