### 4/5 — Ist gut aber

*2018-04-02, version 3.2*

Der App ist super 
Was mir nicht gefällt 
Man kann nicht die Hauptsprache festliegen 
Ich freue mich auf Update damit mehr Möglichkeiten daran kommt

### 5/5 — Better than the rest

*2012-01-11, version 1.6*

I took three different interpretation apps with me on my iPhone to Japan and ended-up only using this one. We used it for all the basics, but there is enough content that you can ad lib; my baby has a rash; where can we hire push bikes. A great app, would highly recommend having this in your back pocket.

### 3/5 — Teach myself Turkish.... Do I !!!

*2011-11-15*

This product has good pictures. The subject categories seem satisfactory. The number of language options is extensive. In response to the capacity utilization due to multiple languages, the developer could equip a top 5 preference and only store limited data on the phone. With the iCloud, downloading a new language or updating the language preference should be quick and easy. In any event, this is a useful travel buddy for backpacking across Europe.

### 3/5 — 소리가 안들려요

아이폰에서는
 이어폰으로 들을수 있어요
(결제와는 무관함)

### 3/5 — Over-standardised, but otherwise well-made

*2011-08-23, version 1.5*

This is a robust and nicely-turned out app compared to many that try to do a similar thing. It works offline, and the recordings are clear and beautifully recorded by native speakers. 

It suffers from being over-standardised. This is common in apps of this kind, whether offering many languages in one app or a range of apps all with the same translated words. It means you know how to say Happy Easter in Japanese, or Merry Christmas in Arabic, but common words and phrases that are used in day-to-day conversation, like a Muslim greeting in Arabic, or a simple "thanks" in Japanese are entirely omitted. There are amusing omissions: for instance, in Brazilian Portuguese, you can search the whole section called Saying Hello without finding the word for hello (Ola), which is commonly used; even though the (provided) 'hi' is acceptable in non-formal situations. 

An upgrade would ideally see each language section and it's choice of words and phrases re-designed by local speakers.

### 5/5 — the best language apps ever used

*2011-05-03*

Looking forward to updates for more functionalities.

### 5/5 — Extremely good.

*2010-09-12, version 0*

This app has pretty much everything you need to say while you are traveling. It is also very useful if you enjoy learning new languages too. The only negative aspect I would point is that some audios are too fast. It is hard to understand and repeat them. The app could have a control to change the speed of the audio.

### 5/5 — Five stars for shure

*2010-08-13*

Great update! Now it's perfect !!!
So easy to use. I love this app!

### 5/5 — Great

*2010-08-05*

This is a very good app for anyone trying to learn a language. It would be useful, however, if you could select a default language or languages from the beginning and not have all the other languages taking up space on your device.

### 5/5 — The best phrasebook

*2010-07-28, version 0*

Highly reccomend this app!

### 5/5 — Very very very GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*2010-07-28, version 0*

### 1/5 — JouristPhrase

*2021-07-26, version 3.6*

Плохо, когда за одно приложение два раза снимают деньги.

### 1/5 — Безобразие. Купил 2 раза.

*2018-06-09, version 3.2*

Купил Туристо много лет назад. Приложение хорошее. Последний раз, если не ошибаюсь, программа обновлялась до 2016, а сейчас разработчик или магазин выдаёт ее за новую и предлагает купить заново. Безобразие. Пришлось купить ещё раз, т.к. альтернатив мало, но деньги тоже жалко. Очень подлый шаг.

### 1/5 — Ни о чем

*2018-04-13, version 3.2*

Так себе приложение!

### 1/5 — Not happy.

*2013-03-06, version 2.0.3*

Latest update too large for my iPhone. How do I get my money back?

### 1/5 — Bad!

*2010-07-29, version 0*

Software crashes :( For sure the seller wrote the 5star reviews himself!!! :(

### 1/5 — Complete waste!!!

*2010-07-28, version 0*

This app is a total waste. It doesn't even include many simple things! I am completely upset!!!

### 1/5 — Not a good one!!!

*2010-07-28, version 0*

Not useful!!! Don't buy

### 2/5 — Escolha do idioma

*2018-04-21, version 3.2*

Eu gostaria de escolher o idioma português -italiano. Mas como no meu iPhone a linguagem esta em italiano não me da a opção! Poderia dar a opção das linguagens! Poderiam melhorar isso.

### 2/5 — Poderia ser melhor.

*2018-04-20, version 3.2*

Como estudante de inglês, deixo meu iPhone totalmente inglês e aí que o aplicativo peca !
Por ele está em inglês não aprece no app o inglês para ser estudado, lamentável ...

### 3/5 — Useful app but...

*2015-05-31*

I love it. It is an useful app for the regular traveler but I have problems with some languages, Italian and German don't have any sound in the highest levels. But it is great!

### 5/5 — The Best

*2020-02-27*

I don’t understand why this app has only few users and a very few reviews. It deserves to be top 10 with thousands of reviews. It is that good. Thank you for creating it. 🙏

### 5/5 — タイ語のタイトル修正依頼

*2019-05-27*

“タイ語”のタイトルが“タイの”になっていますが、
いい加減で修正したらどうせしょうか。
内容が良いのにタイトルが変では勿体ないですよ。

### 5/5 — Optimal

*2019-01-22, version 3.5*

Wer einen guten und brauchbaren Übersetzer sucht, der ist vier genau richtig. Übersetzt wird in verschiedenen Sprachen. Schnell und unkompliziert. Für die Grundsätze reicht es in jedem Fall. Absolute Weiterempfehlung

### 5/5 — Super

*2018-04-07, version 3.2*

Super 🤘🤘🤘приложение

### 5/5 — хорошо

*2018-04-06, version 3.2*

Удобная программа. Все сделано как надо. Ничего не глючит и не виснет.

### 5/5 — Works great now

*2018-03-15*

Hello.  It didn’t work at first. But after restarting the phone it’s works great. Thank you

### 5/5 — Verrrry good!! 😃

*2015-08-07, version 2.5*

The best phrases app I found. (I tried ten or so)
- many languages
- each language has plenty categories with many very useful phrases
- good audio quality - native speakers 
- nice and helpful illustration  
- good functionality 
- very cheap- less than 10€ for all(!) languages in a bargain pack 

-> very good deal - I am happy - thanks a lot! :-)

### 5/5 — S

*2014-07-19, version 2.5*

Awesome

### 5/5 — Excellent app for travelers

*2012-10-07*

I just went on a trip that included Milan, Italy, Budapest Hungary and Frankfurt Germany – this app worked GREAT.  I was able to find the basic items in each language and hear the native speaker.  I had downloaded other apps for Japanese and Chinese – now that all of this works under one app – I deleted the others!  The audio clips are high quality and loud enough to play for people without straining to hear.  Would love to see future features like full-screen views of the foreign word (to show to the cab driver/waiter) or a button to slow down the audio – but for this price, this app is a HUGE BARGAIN!

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2012-04-03*

I use this app a LOT & the translations are dead on. I have had Thai, Hungarian & Russian people tell me that they thought I must have lived in their countries for some time because my pronunciation was so good. Some of the languages are missing English spellings (like Bulgarian), but even without it the audio is very helpful. English spellings would be greatly appreciated as Bulgarian is a difficult language for most English-speakers. I would love to see more languages added. I realize this would mean using up more space on your device, maybe giving users the ability to choose which languages they want to store on their device could be an option? Languages I run across a lot & would love to see - Romanian, Indonesian, Tagalog, Serbian, Croatian & Indian.
