Hi all,
it does not really fit in this sub forum, but I thought others might have had the same question.
I enjoy using Pleco. The dictionaries are plenty and good, and the app itself as a platform is well thought out and convenient to use. I am learning other languages too. I would like to find equally good dictionary apps for these, but have failed so far.
Based on my experience with Pleco, features of a good app include:
I am especially interested in French-German, French-English and English-German, but would in general be interested what dictionary apps you are using and can recommend. Or, the other way round, are there any you would advise against?

Based on my experience with Pleco, features of a good app include:
- various (offline) dictionaries available, ability to use both mono- and bilingual dictionaries. I really like the idea of a dictionary app as a platform, in which I then use my dictionaries
- offline recordings / pronunciation
- good support and active development
- cross platform licence - ability to transfer between Android and iOS when changing devices
- easy to use, for example when having to look up a lot of words when reading a book
- good optical presentation of dictionary entries
- example sentences
- build in reader or connection to other readers.
- possibly not too expensive, currently some dictionaries charge like 50 $ and offer way less than Pleco's big dictionaries
- in general all features Pleco offers
