Pros and cons of Dictionary Danish English app for iPhone and iPad
Dictionary Danish English app good for
Good dictionary, but I would have preferred if there would have been a section for idioms, and a use of the words in context, which helps a lot. Not bad anyways...
Im studying Danish in my leisure time and have been using this app for a couple of weeks. So far I like it a lot, the user interface is comfortable and it is equipped with a huge word list. Most online Danish dictionaries arent as comprehensive. In order to have the words read out to you the voice feature has to be installed which comes at 1,59€ per language and is a computer voice. Bearing in mind the app itself costs 2,79€ I think we have a great deal here with a solid performance at a price that is more than fair!
Synthesized Danish pronunciations arent really useful but rest is decent.
This apt is great bc you dont need a data plan or wifi to use it.
This app is a great compliment to a regular dictionary. It will give you a general idea of the translation that can be supported by a regular dictionary later.

Just what I needed, has a bit of trouble with dialect I think though. Overall I love it.
Some bad moments
I bought this to help me read Jussi Adler-Olsen in Danish. Virtually all the words I looked up (e.g. hegnspæle, ædetruge, skinbarlig ...) were not in the dictionary. This dictionary is simply too basic for my needs. It should state how many words it contains.
I cant speak for a Danish person in North America, but I took this app to Kobenhaven and it was useless. Its missing key words and normal phrases. You have to pay extra for the voices and most of the time they dont work. You can tap away on the words to be pronounced and nothing happens.
Not the best dictionary, missing way too many words. Would stick to google translate.
This app does what it claims. Its been the dictionary I use for a while.
The vocabulary is limited. For basic needs, this will do the job. For definitions or explanations of how words in either language differ, rather than listing synonyms, this app misses the mark.
The interface took a little getting used to. Sloppy, but functional.
This app is a total waste of money. It is ackward to use and all too sensitive. I asked it to look up gængse and kept going to gadeværse. It is almost impossible to move from "ga" to "gæ".
This app is sold by crooks. After you buy the app you have to buy more features to make the apps voice feature work. But after you buy those other features The voice feature STILL doesnt work! f*** these crooks.
