Description

For many years, language learners have trusted our PONS dictionaries. With the PONS app on your smartphone or tablet, you can find the right translation quickly and at any time.

The PONS dictionary library works 100% offline.

Select the dictionary library for your app! Find the dictionary to suit your individual situation: If you are going away on holiday and want to just quickly look up a word or two, then the BASIS dictionary is the right choice for you. If you feel safer with a range of medium-sized vocabulary then choose the CONCISE or ADVANCED dictionary. If you write foreign-language texts professionally, then you probably need a more comprehensive dictionary, such as BUSINESS or PREMIUM.

Discover dictionaries in a range of different languages: Brazilian Portuguese, Bulgarian, German as a Foreign Language, English, French, Italian, Dutch, Greek, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.


Functions of the dictionaries:

• Direct look-up: Simply select a text in Safari, tap the share button and choose a dictionary. All of the words in the text that can be looked-up are then displayed.
• Look-ups from other applications: Copy individual words or whole sentences to the Clipboard, switch back to the dictionary app and individually look up all the words.
• Learn vocabulary: You can define words that you would like to learn as a vocabulary card. This allows vocabulary to be learned quickly and effectively! (Optimized for the ADVANCED English, French, Italian and Spanish dictionaries.)
• Synchronization via iCloud: access favourites, search history and vocabulary cards (in the dictionaries) with any device logged in to your Apple ID.
• Listen to numerous keywords spoken by native speakers and practise your pronunciation. (Available for German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian)
• Use the full-text search to find examples.

Buggy app for lousy, barebones German dictionaries

paul4791 on

It's 2024 and PONS Langenscheidt last updated their app 3 years ago! Bugs include an automatic crash on launch whenever there is no Internet connection or a slow cellular data link; disappearance of the icon for the keyword/full-text search toggle (you just have to remember where to tap); and a prompt about pasting permission every time you switch to the app, even if you haven't quit the app since last granting or refusing permission to paste from the clipboard. The German dictionaries (and I bought the whole library, for hundreds of dollars) suffer from the stupidity of German academics who still think they're limited to the printed page. The tilde (~), which stands for the keyword, is repeated 10 to 20 times in each keyword entry, when it would be easy, in a digital medium, to just repeat the keyword in every expression that uses the word. There's no quick way to jump between the different parts of speech, when the same word can be a noun, a transitive verb, and an intransitive verb; you just have to scroll through the long text. And the biggest shortcoming of all (which, in fairness to PONS Langenscheidt's incompetent user interface designers and programmers, also affects the publisher's printed dictionaries): you don't get a full set of verb conjugation tables! (The only company ever to get that right, in any medium, is Bescherelle, for French verbs.) I don't know what to recommend for German dictionaries. PONS Langenscheidt is the best there is, but it's far from good, and the app is unmaintained as of 2024.

Useful for comparing Pons dictionaries

Zv57 on

I used this to compare the various Pons German-English dictionaries, and then purchased their Advanced edition.

Terrible app

lb7500 on

I would never buy again and beware that if you buy a dictionary inside the app yoy cannot download the standalone app with the same dictionary Terrible customer service, only apologies and nosolutions

Extensive but crude

Dfilimon on

The dictionaries are great, but the app is terrible. 1. It looks bad. 2. Flashcards are pretty limited (only 20 words at a time). 3. No inflection for german. For example 'brachtest', 2nd person singular for 'bringen' pretäritum is impossible to find. 4. No conjugations for german verbs. 5. The $60 you pay for a dictionary here does not mean you can use the desktop version too, and of course it doesn't sync flash cards or anything. In summary, this is an app from the 90s.
