LINGOPAL 44 app for iPhone and iPad

Has been good to me so far!! I love it.. Easy to a assess and understand how it works

Nice work! Its very handy to search phrases and easy to check out the pronunciations. Each pronunciations are accurate as far as I know, but some phrases are of doubtful accuracy in masculine or in feminine or in intonations. UI is considered well, full sized view for the phrases are useful in noisy places. More expressions and sortable list are desired.

A wonderful app for learning languages. I shouldnt have updated it; it wont open now!

I downloaded the free Italian app and it has x-rated insults so why does this app not have the x-rated insults? Please add in an update. 5 stars until all insults are added!

On my last trip to Europe, I took the Lonely Planet Western Europe and Eastern Europe phrasebooks with me. Together, they covered about 12 languages, but they also added a couple of pounds to my backpack and cost twenty bucks. After you spend weeks trekking around Europe, you start to resent every extra pound in your pack. So this app is a welcome arrival. 44 languages from all over the world, and only 10 bucks. Compared to printed phrasebooks, its a steal. Im about to embark on a months-long global trip, and this little gem will enable me to leave the paper books at home. My only complaint is that it doesnt have phonetic spellings in addition to the actual text. The audio pronunciations are great - try doing THAT with your printed phrasebook! - but there are situations in life when using the audio is not practical or polite. Having phonetic spellings would be very advantageous in those situations. Yes, there are some things this app doesnt do. It doesnt translate ad-hoc phrases you type in...but neither does a printed phrasebook. It doesnt systematically teach you a new language...but neither does a printed phrasebook. It is what it is - a resource to help you survive common everyday situations in a variety of countries worldwide. Judged by that standard, this app is a valuable and well-implemented tool. It does exactly what it claims to do, and it does it with style. Well done!

Both this app and the company behind it are excellent! I was reading through older reviews, one which stated this app didnt include all the categories of the individual, $.99 apps, and I emailed Lingopal at about midnight Eastern time. I was surprised when not long after I recieved a very friendly email explaining that this wasnt true and that the review was outdated. There were several replies and answers to my questions, along with well-wishes in my travels. Definitely the best customer support I ever received! As for the app itself, I find it to be high-quality for the languages I understand. The speakers are clear and the app is easy to navigate and read. For all the languages it supports, it was well worth the $9.99! I have some suggestions that would be amazing to see in this app, but seeing as this app is more for travelers and I have a tendency to want to really learn the language as well, some might not suit this apps intent: -A button to view the text phonetically would be great, perhaps next to the play button in the list. This would be useful for languages such as Japanese or Korean where one cannot read those languages. -An option to hear the phrases said at a slower pace would be helpful as well, to aid with pronunciation. This could also be a button next to the play button. -More basic vocabulary would be nice. For example, a list of words for clothing, parts of the body, weather, colors, etc. -Id love to see the phrase "I love you" added. For all the "flirty" words this app provides, few seem all that serious and this would be a nice phrase to add. Of course, additional phrases of any sort are always welcome! I was told updates will be coming within the next few months, so Im pretty excited to see how this app is improved! You wont be dissappointed buying this app. =)

This app worked fine for 4 weeks and then the voice function stopped working completely. Other reviews say the same thing. Buying this was a waste of my money. Dont let this happen to you.

The sound stopped working shortly after I started using this app. Not just one this one but all the lingopal apps I have. Otherwise this was a pretty great app. Probably going to delete because this isnt very useful without sound.

This is a nice application and has a lot of potential if a couple of things would be fixed or enhanced: 1. If you choose male or female the application seems only to use a female voice. 2. Trying the application choosing male gender some phrases were said as a female would say it. 3. Speaks to fast. 4. Does not seem to support cut and paste which would be great for emails and text messages

Great app in general but whats the deal with the pop up saying "still using the lite version? Pay .99 to get the full version"? It happens every time you change languages. Fix that and Ill give it a better rating.

Not happy with this new filtered version with many phrases deleted. Making it child friendly or less adult takes the fun out of it and makes it a boring app which is not what I paid for. I want a refund. Or change back to the previous full phrase version.

This app was one I wanted to like I dont it doesnt work. At all.
