Customer Reviews
21st Century phrasebook
Remember those pocket phrasebooks you used to carry to foreign countries? Lingolook has updated and automated the concept, with excellent results. Phrases are divided into eight main categories, each of which has about 10 subcategories. Each subcategory has four related phrases -- more than 300 all told. There is also an extensive reference section, with tables listing names of meats, sizes of clothing, etc., etc.
On top of that, a master index allows to you instantly find any particular phrase in English. (The one drawback with this app is there is no cross-index in French.) There is also a "Favorites" tab that remembers your most-visited phrases.
Whenever you display a phrase, you see the French version along with a pronunciation ("par-lay-vu ong-glay?"). And if you have trouble with the vowels (so nobody can understand you), you can hold up your iPhone, tap the phrase, and it is spoken in perfect French. Voila!
Very good app.
I think it is the best app i have ever had on my iPhone.
It enables you to discover new opportunies in travel planning.
Indeed, the app is very friendly and well designed.
Love it !
Most used on my trip to Paris
Loved this app. I put a number of different translation apps on my phone before my trip to Paris. This one is quick, has a good selection of phrases, a helpful resource center, and works offline. It even pronounces the phrases. It is a solid app that deserves top marks.
