Introduction

Whether you are looking to expand your knowledge of English or are simply looking to have a handy Dutch to English dictionary on your iPhone or iPad for easy reference, Dictionary4English - Dutch is a fantastic app that you must consider downloading.

Look Up Over 65,000 Words

A lightweight and fast-functioning app, Dictionary4English - Dutch weighs in at a mere 12.3 MB, taking up space equivalent of perhaps a couple of music tracks. For this small amount of space taken up on your iOS device, you can look up words in the dictionary both from English to Dutch and vice-versa.

Not only can you look up the words in the dictionary, but you can also save them into your personal folder for easy retrieval at any time. Words are saved in chronological order, so as to enable the user to learn and review words based on period you saved them. This allows you to finish your book or class all the while knowing that your words are waiting there to be learned at your leisure.

Flashcard Exercises & In-App Purchase

There are more than 195,000 flashcard exercises included within this app with a complete vocabulary overview of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and other parts of speech. This app employs the BrainGlass method to keep track of the words that come easily to you and makes you practice the ones you are likely to forget or make a mistake on.

They say the best things in life are free but with this app that's not the case. This fantastic app disappointed me when I realized that users are only allowed fifty look-ups with exercises for free and then an in-app purchase must be made to upgrade to the premium account for unlimited access. On the bright side, at least it doesn't involve going back into the App Store and installing a second app.
