Leider kann ich angespielte Videos nicht mehr schließen, so dass ich die App komplett herunterfahren und wieder erneut alles eingeben muss. Vielleicht könnte das überarbeitet werden ### 5/5 — Ein gutes Gefühl *2011-01-04* Ich denke, dass man mit dieser App ein gutes und sicheres Gefühl mit in fremdsprachige Länder nehmen kann. Die Vorstellung im "Ausland" zu einem Arztbesuch oder gar Krankenhausaufenthalt gezwungen zu werden ist für mich schon beunruhigend genug.Diese App gibt mir das gute Gefühl, mich im Falle eines Falles wenigstens Verständigen zu können. ### 4/5 — Good solid app *2010-03-31* I downloaded this app after I took a job that might send me over seas on business travel. I have been trying it out at home and feel safer knowing that I will be able to communicate with doctors during my travel. Hopefully I won't have to use it, but if something arises, I feel better knowing I have it. ### 5/5 — Great idea! *2010-03-08* This is a fantastic help for doctors that do not always have access to interpreters and for frequent travellers alike. I found the app easy to use and the quality of voice output is surprisingly good even on an ipod. Hope the portuguese language gets added soon :) ### 5/5 — Indespensible to travelers and medical providers.... *2010-03-04* My job takes me to many countries around the world where I don't know the local language. As a diabetic, I have always worried about needing medical services and how would I communicate my issues. Xprompt gives me some piece of mind knowing that if I am in Japan or China and I am having a sugar low, I can quickly communicate my issues to anyone passing by or with a medical provider. Very nice application that's easy to use and provides me with a great sense of relief. ### 5/5 — Super! *2010-03-03* Ich ziehe die schlechte Bewertung zurück. Meine Version von iPhone war alt. Kein Wunder!! Also ich empehle: KAUFEN!!! ### 5/5 — Endlich auch für Gehörlose *2010-02-27* Dieses Programm ist wirklich ein Super-App, das sehr für Gehörlose zu empfehlen ist. Und teuer ist es auch nicht, zumal 800 Sätze schon für einen Notfall ausreichen. Natürlich wird es nie einen echten Dolmis ersetzen können. Trotzdem eine sehr brauchbare Anwendung, die man in der Hosentasche trägt und immer parat hat. ### 5/5 — Super für Gehörlose! *2010-02-26* Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie kommen als Gehörloser ins Krankenhaus, und ein Gebärdensprachdolmetscher ist so schnell nicht zu bekommen. Die Krankenschwester will Ihnen erklären: "Ich werde Ihnen einen Harnblasenkatheter legen" - und Sie verstehen nur "Bahnhof". Kein Problem! Sie holen Ihr iPhone aus der Hosentasche, starten XPROMPT, und schon kann die Krankenschwester mit einem Klick die Gebärdensprach-Übersetzung starten. Immerhin 800 Sätze stehen zur Verfügung, in 22 Sprachen, und darunter eben auch 2 Gebärdensprachen, BSL (British Sign Language) und DGS (Deutsche Gebärdensprache). 5,49€ kostet die App, jede weitere Sprache 2,39€. Insgesamt also 7,88€ für einen "DGS-Dolmi in der Hosentasche" - der natürlich keinen echten Dolmi ersetzen kann und will! - spottbillig! Diesen kleinen Rettungsanker sollten gehörlose iPhone-Besitzer immer dabei haben.

Good app for that unexpected doctor's appointment in a foreign country. ### 5/5 — mobiles Kommunikationsgeraet *2010-02-20* Das App ist genial gemacht und macht so viel Sinn im Alltag. Das iPhone wird zum portablen Kommunikations-Geraet und ermoeglicht im medizinischen Bereich die Kommunikation mit dem Patienten. Das kann oft entscheidend sein. Ich sehe das viele Probleme aus der Praxis der Vergangenheit angehoeren. ## Frequently asked questions about xprompt ### What languages does xprompt support? xprompt comes with English, German, and Spanish pre-installed.
