Der Die Das for Android

This app has helped me learn the gender of some nouns I’m unfamiliar with, but in its current form it’s a little too bare-bones to be helpful. I know the app is not meant mainly to help with vocabulary, but it would be helpful to see the English translation to jog my memory or help with words that I don’t know. Also, the words seem to lean too heavily on words that follow consistent rules in their genders, like words that end with -in or -ung and are always feminine. I can see how this app could help with learning this pattern, but once you know it, it becomes repetitive to have so many nouns with the same endings, especially in the “advanced” and “expert” difficulties, which I hoped would include words that have genders that are more difficult to predict and have to be memorized.

Why aren’t there English translations or translations of the words provided? We’re obviously not going to know all of them, and mastering articles quickly does mean we need to know what the word is in our native language, German isn’t the kind of language where you intuitively just learn the articles of every word like Spanish. Other than that, fun app!

Translator should be available in other languages too.

This is exactly the tool I need to master the rules as a new learner.

I wish it would give you the definition of the word as you practice. I imagine this app is used mostly by people learning German, so it would be helpful for when an unfamiliar word comes up. If it at least showed the definition after you guessed der/die/das, that would be really helpful. I do appreciate that this app exists at all, though! Very good for some practice.
