On the limited experience so far, I have stretched as far as a 3-star rating. It might deserve more after I have had more use of the app: we’ll see. In the meantime, I hope that more features will, in fact, be released when I return to the app after finishing writing this! ### 4/5 — Off to Venice *2019-09-17* Just got this to learn a few phrases for a trip to Venice.

I don't recommend the app!! **Developer response:** The advertisements allow us to keep the app free. It is impossible to offer good quality apps for free. ### 1/5 — Ad pop up every 20 seconds! *2016-11-22* Ridiculous **Developer response:** Thanks. Why exactly? ### 2/5 — No sound? *2020-01-29, version 8.2* The phrases seem good, but the sound aspect doesn’t work. Tried reinstalling it, but still nothing? Help please? ### 2/5 — Paid for pro - still get noisy ads 😠 *2017-06-28* To hear the phrases you need the volume up, then after a few of them a noisy video ad starts playing. I have even paid for the pro version so this shouldn't be happening!! ### 2/5 — Italian phrasebook review *2016-10-22* Having come back from Italy I found I didn't use this app at all, it's probably fine although there was no phrases for basic stuff like ordering food hence only 2 stars, instead I used google translate which even has a speaker, in fact I'll be using that website whenever I go abroad, dead easy. **Developer response:** This is a phrasebook, not an automated translator. ### 2/5 — New to this *2016-06-17, version 8.2* Just learning this. ### 2/5 — Forced to write a review *2015-10-22, version 7.6* This app forces you to write a review so that you can learn the days of the week, the months of the year and numbers, so I'm writing a review. Since I've only begun I really can't say much about the app yet. I don't like this aspect so I'm giving a poor review. They should give you more time. Maybe I'll give a better review later after I've had a chance to use it more. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2019-07-05, version 8.2* Fun app ### 5/5 — Learning Italian *2019-04-27* Good place to start.
