Amazing App!
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surprised when not long after I recieved a very friendly email explaining that this wasnt true and that the review was outdated.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. =)
