Great Update

A truest useful addition to any travellers bag, I have the book as well but the app is usually the one I go to as it’s always in my pocket!

Not bad

It's not as comprehensive as the book, I don't think, and it's very annoying having "point it" kind of watermarked across every page.

Great idea, let down by poor programming

A picture dictionary is such a brilliant idea, to help travellers communicate their needs when they aren't good with the local language. I've had several paper copies of Point It, it always seems to go missing when I need it.

Having it as an app should be brilliant, however some of the pages contain multiple images, and those smaller images contain arrays of items and you'd naturally expect to be able to zoom into any of them. Unfortunately the zoom doesn't work like that which makes this app much less useful than it would have been if a bit of care had been taken over it. Disappointing.
