What’s better than using German Dictionary by Compos Apps S.L.? Well, try it on a big screen, on your PC or Mac, with BlueStacks to see the difference.

The app comes across as a very straightforward, no fuss German dictionary that just gets the job done. It holds a huge amount of entries so someone will not run out of lookups mid-sentence, and the fact that everything can be downloaded and used offline really stands out. Search is quick and simple, the layout is clean enough that a user can skim meanings, examples and translations without hunting through menus. There are plenty of sample sentences which help show how words are used instead of leaving them as lonely dictionary entries, and the multilingual support covers the usual suspects — English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Italian, Turkish and Greek — so it works for people coming from different language backgrounds.

On a PC with BlueStacks it feels much more comfortable than on a small phone screen. The keyboard makes typing longer phrases easier and the larger view helps when comparing similar entries or reading example sentences. The app is free and designed for both phone and tablet layouts, and the interface itself can be switched between German, English and Spanish which is handy. It is clear this is built for learners and travelers as well as more advanced students who need a reliable offline reference. Some small rough edges show up here and there but overall it is practical, reliable and simple to use.

Big screen. Bigger performance. Use BlueStacks on your PC or Mac to run your favorite apps.
