Top 5 iOS Apps in 2011 for learning German

I've spent a lot of time searching for the best applications that would help me learn German and I wanted to report back to you on what i've found. Go ahead and use the comments to point me towards your own picks if you think i've overlooked something.

5. Globibo 
This app is not pretty or wonderfully designed but there is a lot of content here for no cost. If you want to expand your German vocabulary on your iPod or iPhone this is a good place to start. Price: FREE

4. Babbel
Babbel has a cool website and the also have a nice iOS app. I hope they keep developing it because it could use a bit more polish - but again, for the cost of nothing you can't really complain. Overall it's a cool and not bad looking application with a lot of useful content. It also has additional content if you decide to purchase an upgrade. Price: FREE

3. Living Language - German
Living Language is a bit better designed than Babbel but their website was not as impressive to me. But as far as their iOS application goes they scored better. Mostly it is the nicer design that makes it more appealing to open up and practice on the train or u-bahn. Price: FREE

2. iStart German!
This is a combination of polished graphics and design and a really deep amount of content. I'm still working my way thru the courses but I really enjoy the pacing of 10 new words at a time. This application has it's own teaching style and I highly recommend checking it out. Price: $1.99

1. Mind Snacks - German
This application takes the top spot because it's a combination of all the best features an iOS app can provide for learning a new language. It has great original graphics and excellent original design. Also it does a great job of teaching you many new German words but you feel like you are playing video games the whole time. You can read my full review here. I really hope they continue to develop this game with new content, mini-games and other updates. I wish there were more well produced games for learning German and that is why this App wins the #1 spot. Price: 4.99

  1. I am a newbie in this matter and I guess to fully understand how it is important in my learning process and experiences it is better to consider online reviews and testimonials.

    1. You created this App with a team from Oxford University? That's cool, I downloaded it and checked it out. I enjoy German learning games but this one appears to be targeted for children, especially in the style of the graphics. For that reason I don't think it's something I would review. If your team makes another game that is for an older demographic I would definitely consider reviewing it, so keep me posted. But thank you for the link and for your comment - always appreciated.

    With 3 different game types and with more than 1000 words, this app will be your new best German friend.
