====
To get the German Umlaute Ä,Ü,Ö,ä,ü,ö and ß, please touch the keys A,O,U and S on the keyboard a bit longer. That seems to be a not well known iPhone feature.

Ratings and Reviews
Good app with room to improve
I haven't checked other German-English dictionaries, so I can't tell if this is the best or if there are better ones available. As for this one, it is good
Pros:
Decent coverage of everyday phrases.
Search after 3 characters in both languages is very useful and convenient
Price is OK
Cons:
When I was checking out the app extension I found a typo "standart" in the welcome screen. That does not give my high confidence in the spelling accuracy.
Way too much focus on British English provided that the are approx. 6 times more Americans around.
Recommendation: get a native American speaker involved in a version 2.0
Ignore the LOW average rating, this is awesome!
I think a lot of Germans must have rated this, and as you may know, getting a "1" in German schools is like getting an "A" in America. This is the only explanation I can think of for why this German-English dictionary has so many 1 ratings. This dictionary is absolutely excellent! It's far more comprehensive than any of my paper dictionaries, and has very useful intelligent searching. Also, when you look at a word, just as with a very good book dictionary, the program also shares various phrases which include the pertinent word. Both my kids study German, and I'm polishing my rusty skills. Nifty Words has been essential to our on-the-go search for words. Thank you for a truly awesome app!
Nifty Words
Whether your mother tongue is English or German, if you move between those languages every day, this app is the only one you need. Incredibly fast and complete. One starts to type the word to be defined, without having to choose the language, and with the entry of the third character a list of likely words appears in both languages. The definitions are modern. Colloquial and slang expressions are included. There isn't another app in this field that is a match for the speed, ease of use, and bullet-proof reliability of Nifty Words.
