Great concept and text, but disappointing the voice feature is a total bust. Want 1/2 my money back. **Developer response:** Dear user, The voices issues have been solved in the updated version of the app. We would be delighted if you could review your comment. Best regards, The developers. ### 4/5 — Volume control would be nice *2013-03-23, version 1.5* I turned the volume on my iPad all the way down, but the app voice was still very loud. I'd be unlikely to use the app in public because of this. I had no other problems with the voice function. It worked every time. If this little app crashes your iPhone then synch it with a desktop computer, update the OS and delete some of the junk apps on it. ### 4/5 — Please add Russian *2013-02-10, version 1.5* I'd love to see support for menu items in Russian. It's true that most tourist hotspots in Russia/ Ukraine have English menus available, but usually they aren't current or contain many mistakes. Nice app, thanks ### 4/5 — me likey *2013-02-07, version 1.5* nuf said. ### 4/5 — Wonderful *2013-02-07, version 1.5* Fantastic app! I would like to see Mexican food added to the list please. ### 4/5 — Quick reference help during a meal *2013-02-07, version 1.5* It is a cute and helpful app to help you understand what's on a menu and how to ask for something from a waiter. ### 4/5 — Great concept *2013-02-07, version 1.5* Love it, works great on iPhone 5 ### 4/5 — Version much improved *2013-02-07, version 1.5* The previous negative reviews must have been for an older version. I found this on AppGratis, and have been playing with it all morning, and noticed none of the impaired functions described in the review. If you're looking for an app that explains French cooking techniques, this isn't it. However, if like me, you are a bit of an adventurous eater, this will help you get a handle on what that dish you just ordered is supposed to be, instead of assuming the kitchen gets it right. If I had something like this years ago, I probably wouldn't have waited so long to try veal caponata again. ### 4/5 — Good one but *2013-02-07, version 1.5* I think it would be a great idea to add there the recipe of the dishes, than this application will be ON TOP! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unhelpful *2013-08-08, version 1.5* I've been in Germany for two weeks now and I always try to use it at the restaurants but it barely has anything helpful It has entire descriptions for complicated sounding dishes buried you're just trying to figure out a word here or a word there it's such a waste of money I regret buying it **Developer response:** Dear user, This app, as written in the name and description, is to translate French menu and not German menu. Thus if you can find most of the French dishes in the database, you will not find many German dishes. Having a one-star review for missing functionality that the app never claimed to have is a bit painful for us. Best regards, The developers. ### 1/5 — Pronunciation doesn't work *2013-02-11, version 1.5* Unfortunately it only plays the pronunciation on the first word... After that it doesn't work. ### 1/5 — How does it have four stars? *2013-02-07, version 1.5* It wrecked my iPhone its glitches now I can't delete it I hate this!!!😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — does not work *2012-10-21, version 1.1* this app does not work….search results are unreadable as they overlay whatever was already onscreen…piece of crap ### 1/5 — doesn *2012-09-26, version 1.1* App will not launch. running 5.0.1 on iphone 4s. Bad very bad. I want a refund. too bad it looked pretty good but if it doesn't work. ### 2/5 — I like this app BUT.. *2013-02-09, version 1.5* When i play the pronunciation sounds it only works once... It will rarely play it... Whats the point? ### 2/5 — Inaccurate translations *2013-02-07, version 1.5* A quick spot check revealed inaccurate translations. Frites (Dutch for French fries) became rice... I will not be able to trust this app to help me correctly. ### 2/5 — Works, Somewhat *2013-02-07, version 1.5* Having living in 3 of the 4 countries that the app. translates for, I see it would have came in handy back then. It does not have Italian translation. Also, I got the spoken voice to work only once and never again. Hmmmmm The app was free today. **Developer response:** Dear user, The app now has Italian translation. Still, it is not made to translate Italian dishes, but French dishes. The sound issue has been solved in the latest versions. Best regards, The developers. ### 2/5 — 中国人做的不翻译中文 *2013-02-06, version 1.5* 这搞毛呢？再说网上搜了个菜单一试就不灵了。 ### 3/5 — good Idea - needs more content *2015-06-25, version 1.9* This is a very necessary app. There are many phrases - words - idioms - one finds on French menus that are not clear, at least to the occasional Francophile. And this app is a good start. But there are still a lot of words that are not in this dictionary, and it would be of more value if the authors continue to work on the content and expand it. It would also provide them a reason to go to France and pay for the trip and the meals. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Saving my b-u-t-t in France *2018-06-26, version 2.0* I’m on a 14 day trip and no one in our group knows French! My mom asks a million questions about how food is cooked, what it is, etc. I wanted to be able to help and make the process less frustrating for our servers! It’s worked great so far! ### 5/5 — Wow wow wow!!!!! *2015-10-09, version 1.5* To hear correct pronunciations as well as meanings of French cooking and food/beverage words is so extremely helpful!!!!!
