### 1/5 — Limited

*2015-04-13*

This phrasebook contains a limited number of phrases. It is not worth the money.

*2011-08-22*

Very disappointed to find the app very limited, and plays NO sound.

### 2/5 — Audio quality is poor

*2011-08-07*

This has the potential to be really good, but the audio is very distorted!!! Hearing the proper pronouncements and tones is impossible right now with the current audio quality. As is,... This won't be useful on our trip to China!  :(

### 1/5 — Voice used is not clear!

*2011-07-02*

The voice on the app is very muffled and not clear, not worth even the 59p paid. Very basic app.

### 5/5 — Wonderful App

*2010-03-22*
