Well I was a little apprehensive at £5.99 with no previous reviews but I downloaded it. Very glad I did it really is excellent.
As a frequent traveller to various countries the fact it is self-contained is invaluable as having to use data charges or Internet connectivity on a free app will cost you more in roaming charges! So get this instead. Plus it works for 22 languages.

The ability to identify basic foods from a menu is going to help a lot. Now I can at least order Steak or Chicken in Japan. Instead of getting raw garlic or raw mince like last time randomly pointing on a Japanese menu!

My only criticism is you cannot copy and paste the phrases to other apps which is annoying if you want to write an email or text to someone.

Also the search function is not ideal eg search for 'chicken' in German and you will find it buried below a load of phrases you might use at the Post Office. It doesn't put the closest or exact match at the top!

So improve the search and provide copy and paste functionality and you have a great and very cheap app, well if not cheap then good value. No more phrasebooks. 

One of my most useful app purchases!

Over-standardised, but otherwise well-made

This is a robust and nicely-turned out app compared to many that try to do a similar thing. It works offline, and the recordings are clear and beautifully recorded by native speakers.

It suffers from being over-standardised. This is common in apps of this kind, whether offering many languages in one app or a range of apps all with the same translated words. It means you know how to say Happy Easter in Japanese, or Merry Christmas in Arabic, but common words and phrases that are used in day-to-day conversation, like a Muslim greeting in Arabic, or a simple "thanks" in Japanese are entirely omitted. There are amusing omissions: for instance, in Brazilian Portuguese, you can search the whole section called Saying Hello without finding the word for hello (Ola), which is commonly used; even though the (provided) 'hi' is acceptable in non-formal situations.

An upgrade would ideally see each language section and it's choice of words and phrases re-designed by local speakers.

Very useful app

Off to Cuba next week, having the language in my pocket will be very helpful. French has a great accent too, great app for a traveller going away more than once per year.
