German-English dictionary (online or iPhone app?)

Hi

Does anyone have an online de-en dictionary or iPhone app to recommend which provides not only the gender of the word, but also the past

I am using Ultralingua. It is free but in-app you have the dictionaries that you can purchase. I have tried free apps, online versions...in the end you need to pay a bit more to have a good tool.

Re: German-English dictionary (online or iPhone app?)

I use dict.cc and I'm very happy with it:
https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/dict...327732352?mt=8

It's offered in a free version and one for $4. I was going to get the paid version, but so far I haven't had any need for it. The free version (recently improved) does have gender but it looks like it doesn't show the past form. Maybe the paid version does?

I also read a lot of reviews and one from BitKnights seemed to be also quite good, but I haven't used it:

I've been using online dictionary http://www.leo.org/ since I got here. It's free and I'm very happy with it.
They have an app for Andrioid that I'm using, so I don't know if there are any Leo apps for iPhone.

I use the PONS advanced En-De dictionary on my iOS devices. Costs about 29 chufs but I've found it invaluable over the last 4 years or so I've been using it.

Re: German-English dictionary (online or iPhone app?)

I use the bab.la iPhone Apps (http://bab.la/) - I have one for German, French, Italian, and I think there are others. I like it because it's offline (which is convenient when I don't want data roaming charges). It has genders for nouns, but not always the past version of a verb.
