Really helping with my German vocab
Downloaded this app on the recommendation of someone on Reddit and immediately bought the premium version for £2. I really appreciate that this is a non-recurring payment. App developers could learn a lot from this. Had it been recurring, I wouldn’t have purchased. Dict.cc enables me to quickly store words I hear in my German practice, along with a meaning I select from a list, the correct spelling, and an audio pronunciation. I can then play a game where I translate these chosen words between DE / EN and vice-versa. This is incredibly useful for me, as I’m currently picking up a lot of vocabulary from German TV shows and need to quickly store words to practice later. The UI is kind of clunky but charming. I’ve found that I like it. The whole app feels developer-led - especially when it comes to merging dictionaries. I wouldn’t change it (and this coming from someone who hates most UI design). I think it’s pretty logical. One feature suggestion I would have would be some way of making noun gender more obvious / memorable. This is something I’m really struggling to memorise. Maybe colour coding the bars the various nouns sit in would help? Thanks for developing such a useful app - I love it and use it every day :)
