Pros and cons of PONS Translate app for iPhone and iPad

PONS Translate app good for

Does what it should and definitely is the best at what it does. Id pay for a commercial-free version of the app though, can be annoying at times.
That was hidden in the release notes but you guys finally made it to fully support the iPhone 6, nearly 11 months after its release! Nevertheless, this app will never leave my homescreen as it is so accurate and helpful on a daily basis. Highly recommended to anyone currently relying on anything else.
Ein hilfreiches Wörterbuch, has helped me a lot with my current research. Domo Arigato
This app is very useful, works fast, always gives many translations and what is important to me, I can listen to pronunciation.
Unfortunately it isnt offline and the operation isnt as fluent as it could be but still:))
The app is great. All features are working great. The only 1 thing is still missing -> ios9 multitasking. Better then other "popular" translator online applications.

Some bad moments

Appearance of new version has completely changed, contrary to the announcement "minor bugfixes"... Unreadable because of too small font, confusing listing of translations, no more little x button in the search field to clear latest search ... I want the old dictionary style version back... but how?!
I paid for the ad free version but ads are still there and even more agressive, which is extremely annoying. This is unacceptable. Please do fix this bug.
The last update removed the function of hints, the most helpful feature of this application! Now its just another translator, a bit worse that many others... Shame on you!
The last update is tremendous mistake... Huge adverts, tiny text, and bugs that made it impossible to listen pronunciation- it doesnt work. It was such a great app, and now its useless!
I really like the dictionary and have been using it for a long time, but the recent version has two big interface flaws. The text is two small and the space between the rows is unreasonably large. And there is no setting to change that. Whats the use of it? The user just needs to scroll more. And the second flaw is that the cross deleting the current search in the find menu has been removed. And now to enter every new word the user has to press and hold backspace to delete the previous one. The best option in this case would be highlighting the previous word so that it can be overtyped easily.
My german teacher recommended this dictionary to me and I love it, but my app stopped working like a week ago. I tried to delete it and then install it again, and now I cant install it anymore. Best part: Im sadly using your website now and it keeps suggesting me to download your app :)) this is just awful
