I've been travelling for many years now
I've been travelling for many years now, often in areas where I speak the language not too well or not at all (Asia, South America, Near East) and the point it always helped me out. Mostly only when I was looking for a place to stay and the like, but in two cases I needed to see a doctor and point it was vital there. Trying to explain a foreign doctor in the middle of nowhere what's wrong is really tricky without speaking the language.
I had the book for over ten years now and also bought the app recently. The app allows me to zoom in on particular objects, which makes it clearer for the people I ask, they don't get distracted. And even though I have my point it down cold, the app gives me an index of most objects and categories, so finding them is quick and easy. The index is in six languages so someone who is trying to explain something to me and who is not as familiar with the app like me can look up the objects himself. However, you might want to be careful giving your phone to someone on the street...
Finally, what I find also really useful are the maps. If I'm in a remote area, I don't have UMTS and can't access Google Maps, so having maps on the phone itself is handy.
All in all, a great app that every traveller needs to have!busypack
NOT lost in translation...
This is a world traveler MUST. So a picture is worth a thousand words OR saves you an embarrassing search through a phrase book only to mispronounce what you desperately want. Thank you Point It!! Wish I would have discovered this app/book years ago. A must for anyone traveling to another country where the language spoken is not their own. In a panic, or in a pinch, or for fun this is a life saver. I already own the book (old and new version) and now having the app is just perfect. This covers it ALL.
Don't leave the country without this gem!!Wunderhund
