What Users Love About the App

“I had downloaded a bunch of apps to work on my French. I love this app as it has the one thing all the others are missing, phonetics. I do like many of the other helpful features this app offers.”

“This is by far the most useful app I’ve found for assisting me in my travels. I take international trips quite often, and this app makes it easy.”

“There are many basic features and If I go on a trip to one other country, it has many functions that I can use them conveniently. For example, you can check the currency, measurement, weather, etc. of the country at a glance.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“like other reviewers I also could not get the audio to work. Worse, I paid the $20 for the full version, and it did not grant me access to the full version. Tried the obvious like rebooting and reinstalling. Nothing.”

“There is no way to know the function of this app unless user subscribe. In addition, even if user want to try to use it for a month, the cost policy is set quite high, and it is questionable how many users will try this app. I think changing the price policy as well as adding a free three-day trial offer might be a way to attract more customers.”

“I used Trip Lingo for years on international trips and really enjoyed it. After upgrading my iphone, it kept freezing up and wasn’t functional, so I deleted it and reinstalled it. Now there’s no way to log back in and I have no way to reset the password.”

“I just downloaded this app and I am unable to use it on my iPhone Xs max. When I try to go into phrases I am unable to get it to respond. I push buttons and nothing happens. My phone is updated to the latest version of the phones operating system. I am hoping that the developers will address this and fix it because this app seems like exactly what we need for our trip to Portugal this summer.”

“The app claims the Portuguese word for “no” is “de nun uma maneira” which is clearly wrong. If such a basic word is wrong, I can’t trust any of it.”
