Even after completing the $4.99 purchase, I cannot translate words or sentences which are not part of a category in the phrasebook. The “Search” tab should incorporate this ability. There should also be multiple options (if possible) for the translation, with small descriptors distinguishing them. ### 2/5 — Très limité *2024-07-08* Franchement très limité, pas de dictionnaire digne de ce nom ou même quelques points de grammaire de base. Pour le prix je m’attendais à beaucoup plus. ### 3/5 — Lacks common phrases on iPhone 7 *2023-10-30, version 4.5.2* Purchased this app to be used for iPhone and iPad. iPad version works pretty well. However on iPhone 7 I don’t seem to get the full program because iPhone 7 does not support the os needed to get all the features. I can accept that but what is annoying is that under greetings, common phrases like good morning, good evening and good night are not there (or at least I could not find them). Also could not find asking for the bill in a restaurant. Which I understand you have to do in Italy. I hope I’m wrong about some of these missed phrases and it’s just that I haven’t found the yet. All in all I think it’s a pretty good program. ### 4/5 — Wish list for this game *2021-05-13, version 4.0* Pretty good for Italians but they don’t offer most of the stuff for free ### 5/5 — Made very easy , a great help especially pronouncing *2021-01-24* Really easy app to use superb for those everyday tasks ### 4/5 — Mr *2020-09-12* This is a lovely application:-) Regards John Ballantyyne 😚 DOB March year 1983 Age currently thirty seven #just /Whoop&yay lol 😆 ### 5/5 — Dr homi kava *2020-03-19, version 4.0* Thanks Fantastic ### 5/5 — Italians *2019-12-26, version 4.0* Perfect application for the essentials to learning the language ### 4/5 — Italian light *2019-05-08* Great but I’d like the full version, my wife got it for free so I’m not paying the 3.99. feel cheated ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-03-24* It is really good for people who want to Italy and if you want to get this app you should get the full pack it is cheap and it has way more things to learn ### 5/5 — Easy to learn Italian *2019-02-26, version 4.0* Well organized and east to learn from. The iliterations are great to help pronunciation ### 4/5 — Italian LT *2019-02-24, version 4.0* I love this app. Great for pronunciation! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Save your money *2026-03-03, version 5.1* The app has very few words and phrases available. The flash card feature is good but doesn’t cover many important situations, like telling time. Might as well use Google Translate which is free. ### 1/5 — Ripoff for “full version” *2024-05-19, version 4.5.2* Don’t buy the full version, it’s Very Far from full. I thought for example the section “ordering in restaurants” had sections on appetizer, meats, etc so I bought the full version, but no, those were just the word for appetizer. Feel duped. Waste of 4.99 for certain. ### 1/5 — Hardly anything free *2023-03-11, version 4.5.2* Free version is relatively worthless. Why even have it? I wish there was an option where you get more free content if you watched ads ### 1/5 — No articles supplied with nouns *2021-10-03, version 4.0* With the phrase book in the free version no articles are supplied with nouns or any indication given as to gender. Nor is there given any indication whether the noun is singular or plural. ### 1/5 — Free vs Full Version *2021-02-15, version 4.0* There isn’t much at all to the Free or Trial Version. Not worth downloading. Just advertise it as the Full Version with the cost or offer more to get acquainted with in the Free App. Once I realized I couldn’t do anything unless I paid for the Full Verdion, I deleted it. ### 1/5 — Pretty pointless *2019-10-17* Learn to say hello and goodbye in the full version, basically this is just an advert for that. ### 1/5 — Won’t upgrade *2019-08-07* Paid to upgrade to full version twice but app did not upgrade ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2018-08-11* There is no point getting this app. It’s free cos it gives nothing away: Unless you wanna give them money for the ‘pro’ app. There is nothing ‘pro about this app in any way, shape or form. Seriously. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Rubbish don't bother *2016-08-11* Not worth bothering with you have to pay to get anything useful. ### 1/5 — Fake *2016-06-24, version 3.5.1* Don't let it fool you, give you a few words to translate, all other need paid app to use, they lie to you!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Looove it *2025-09-12, version 5.0* It’s great I just wish it was completely free $$$ ### 5/5 — Abadani *2025-08-10* This app is great you learn the main words that you use daily which is very important ### 5/5 — Nice bit no vocabulary *2025-07-02* ADD VOCABULARY PLZ ### 5/5 — samantha *2025-06-15, version 4.5.2* ***** ### 5/5 — Great way to Italian or to refresh your Italian. *2025-02-25* I am using the app now to refresh my Italian. I learned about it 15 years ago when I went to Italy. I want to be able to speak again. This app is very helpful. ### 5/5 — Great App for Beginner *2024-03-22, version 4.5.2* It not only has great clear correct pronunciation… but uses a flash card learning method which is fantastic. You can control the rate at which you go through it… how many time you review. I am using this in addition to my lessons with tutor. ### 5/5 — Yeah *2023-10-20, version 4.5.2* I like this app because you don’t have to do any work it says all the stuff for you ### 5/5 — Lettera *2023-06-20, version 4.5.2* Io amo la lingua Italiana ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2023-02-16, version 4.5.2* 🐻🧸❤️🛼💅🏼 ### 5/5 — Great flash cards *2021-04-09, version 4.0* Fun to review with the flashcards --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
