For English learners

Dictionaries are bidirectional, so this aids looking up words in opposite direction too. However, many of the features are relevant to English learners e.g. spoken English (not German). Diffferent verb conjugations on English side. Knowing plurals on English side. So reading German texts and looking up and learning from words is compromised.

Blague, Witz, Scherzo, Wytka...

This has some nice features, the words are read well & a simple but full enough dictionary with examples & thesaurus of sorts is good.
Etymology would also have been useful.
This has just one problem and I'm afraid it's a deal breaker. I can get all this online FOR FREE!
When are these sort of developer going to wake up and get the message? Why on earth would I or anyone else be tempted by this preview of a handful of words to click the ever present 'buy' button on the top left hand side of the window & spend the ridiculous asking price of forty five quid per language for what I can get for free online for just about every major language out there?
This is a joke in whatever language you care to choose.

It's great looking, but since when I'm using my mac I generally have access to loads of online translation resources, the prospect of paying more than €50 for a dictionary to install inside the app seems a bit crazy. I can buy the physical dictionary for a lot less, and there are lots of talking dictionary web sites.

If the dictionary was *significantly* cheaper, I'd consider buying it. I'm not going to spend so much money on something I can get for free on the net, or by looking in a book from my bookshelf.
