## What is Phrase Translator?

Just search the phrase you want to say.
Phramo is a multilingual phrase translator built for learning phrases.

Wondering how to say something in Spanish, Japanese or Korean? Type it the way you'd say it, and Phramo gives you the natural phrase people actually use in that situation, with a short explanation. 15 languages, including Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, French, German and Italian.

■ Why Phramo
• Straight from your words: Phramo works out what you mean (the situation, who's speaking, the tone) instead of translating word for word.
• Explained: a short note on why it's said that way and when to use it, plus how casual or formal it is.
• No ads: nothing interrupts your learning.

■ Review right before you forget
• Saved phrases come back as quizzes after 1, 3, 10 and 24 days. Get one right 4 times in a row and it's learned.
• "Today's 5" keeps it to five phrases a day, so it's easy to keep going.
• A reminder at the time you choose (no promotional notifications).
• You check your own answers, so strict auto-grading never gets in your way.
• A weekly report of what you learned.

■ Features
• Phrase search: just type what you want to say (add the situation and tone if you like)
• Other ways to say it, and related phrases
• Example conversations with audio
• Pronunciation practice with iPhone speech recognition
• AI correction of diary entries written in the language you're learning
• New phrases every day (everyday talk, work, travel, slang and more)

### 1/5 — ？？？？

*2026-11-03*

使い方が全く分からない

### 4/5 — 文字の大きさが👓

*2026-09-16*

文字が小さすぎます
しかも、どうして薄いグレーの文字を使うのでしょう？？？見えづらいのです
文字のサイズ設定もできないし、画面がズームできないので、老眼鏡かルーペ必須です
若い方向けなのでしょうね
その他は素晴らしいです

**Developer response:** 大変貴重なコメントをありがとうございます！
2026年10月6日のアップデートにて文字サイズを選べるようにし、またテキストカラーも改善いたしました。今後も皆様のコメントを取り入れて改善していきますので、これからもPhramoをどうぞよろしくお願いいたします！

### 4/5 — 日記が、、

*2026-08-02*

基本的な性能はとても良いです。日記を添削してくれるのもとても嬉しい。ただ、それだけに、日記の添削する際に回線エラーで回答が返ってこなくなるのがとても残念です。改善お願いします

**Developer response:** 貴重なフィードバックをありがとうございます。日記でのエラーに関しては現在早速修正中で、しっかり改善できるよう尽力いたしますので、次のアップデートで今しばらくお待ちください。また実際に日記添削を使っていただけていることを知ることができ嬉しく思います。Phramoご利用いただきありがとうございます！

### 5/5 — あると嬉しいアプリ

*2026-06-06*

海外在住者です。これはよくあるボキャブラリーメインのインプット重視言語学習アプリとは違って、アウトプットを助けてくれる。実際に海外で生活してて、ふと気になるフレーズや知りたい表現などちょっとしたことを簡単に調べられるので便利。それに、直訳感のない自然さが本当に使える。あると嬉しいアプリです。

**Developer response:** Phramoは開発者の海外経験から生まれたアプリなので、実際に海外在住者の方に使っていただきこのような評価をいただけて、時間をかけてアプリを作成した甲斐がありました！！ご感想いただきありがとうございます。今後もPhramoをどうぞよろしくお願いいたいします！

### 5/5 — お、これは結構いいかも。

*2026-06-04*

短かいフレーズを一個検索かけるだけで別の言い回し提案をしてくれますし、シチュエーション設定や会話例文も出てきますから変換したいフレーズまたは文章に対して詳しく掘る事ができそうです。
タップすれば音声で聞けるのもいいですね。
言語も豊富で日記やクイズ等での勉強も出来るので楽しく使えそうです。

**Developer response:** 実際に使っていただきありがとうございます！機能に関してこのようなご感想をいただけて大変嬉しく思います... ぜひ今後も語学学習に役立てていただけますと幸いです！

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.5 — 2026-11-11

• Pronunciation practice has been rebuilt on iPhone speech recognition. Numbers (ten / 10), contractions (I'm / I am) and Korean word spacing no longer count as mistakes.
• Search results now always come in the language you're learning. If an answer comes back in another language, Phramo redoes it, and "Other ways to say it", example conversations and related phrases are checked the same way.
• On the free plan, the searches you have left today now show under the search box.
• Multiple-choice quizzes no longer show two choices that mean the same thing.
• "Contact us" at the bottom of "Account & settings" lets you write to us by email.
• Today's 5 is easier to start from Home. Open your history from the ⏱ on Home.
• New welcome screens for first-time users.
• Minor bug fixes.

### 1.2.4 — 2026-10-29

• Fixed a bug where reminders never arrived and "Notifications" in "Account & settings" wouldn't open. If you turned reminders on but never got any, please turn them on again under "Notifications."
• Fixed a bug where a reminder left over from an earlier version could send the same phrase every day.
• Notifications now come in just three kinds (a phrase question, the Monday weekly report and your streak), with simpler settings.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-10-26

• New: "Today's 5 phrases." Every day, practice 5 phrases on cards: ones that are due for review plus a few new ones. Start from Home or the Quiz tab.
• After you finish "Today's 5 phrases," Home shows the meanings of your saved phrases so you can practice recalling how to say them.
• Redesigned review reminders: you get one question a day from your saved phrases, and none on days you've already practiced. Change the time, days, quiet hours and more under "Review reminder" in Settings.
• See how last week went in the new weekly report.
• Reviews are better timed: each correct answer pushes the next review further out (2 days, then 1 week, then 2 weeks), and a phrase you get right 4 times in a row on different days becomes "Mastered." Phrases you've already answered correctly 10 times in a row stay Mastered.
• When you search, the phrase now appears while it's still being written.
• After each search, Phramo double-checks the phrase. If it fixes something, it shows what changed and why.
• Improved phrase accuracy: sentences you type in the language you're learning are now checked more accurately.
• Better journal corrections: fixes are more accurate, and corrections that only touch capitalization or punctuation now show up in the list too.
• Settings are now organized as "Account & settings," where you can see your streak, saved phrases and mastered phrases at a glance.
• Swiping left and right on the Phrases screen works better: the buttons at the top stay put and only the card changes.
• Tap a news item to open or close it.
• Music from other apps no longer gets quieter while Phramo is open.
• The Review tab is now called Quiz.
• Minor bug fixes.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-10-23

• You can now read announcements from Phramo — tap the envelope icon at the top right.
• Account improvements: sign in anytime from Settings, and keep your saved phrases when you switch phones.
• You can now buy and restore Pro without signing in. If you create an account after buying, you can keep Pro when you switch phones.
• Improved phrase accuracy: the phrases you get now better fit the situation and the wording you enter.
• Fixed an issue where your streak sometimes wasn't counted correctly.
• English text with curly apostrophes or quotes (like ’), which iPhone adds automatically, is now recognized as English input.
• Fixed an issue where you could be asked "Which meaning?" even when the options all meant the same thing.
• Text in the search box is now easier to read.
• Minor bug fixes.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-20

• New phrases now arrive in the Phrases tab every day.
• Scroll back through every past phrase in the Phrases tab — by category too.
• Swipe left or right to move between phrases opened from the Phrases tab.
• Suggestions now match how strongly you said it — no extra "really" or "too" unless you used one.
• However many phrases you save, the app stays fast — saving was rebuilt for large collections.
• Switching your learning language now updates the Phrases tab right away.
• Learning Spanish (Spain) or Portuguese (Portugal)? The Phrases tab now has new phrases for you too.
• For new users, the 3 days of Pro now start automatically at the end of onboarding.
• Already using Phramo? After this update, you can try every Pro feature free for 3 days too.
• Read-aloud now uses the new, more natural voice everywhere.
