Review of version 2.2
My fiancée lives in Verona, Italy and this is the best learning aid I found yet! I’m a slow learn so I’m quite satisfied with this wonderful App that helps be focus on phrases at my own pace. In fact, I would love to see more verbal phrases and words added that include numbers, days, months, holidays, etc.
Anyway, you really can’t go wrong if you’re a beginner to the Italian language.

I used this app practicing my phrases before I visited Rome, and also many times during my trip. It was very convenient and good to have in your pocket when you need it. Biggest plus and why its worth the money: the translations are spoken to you and can be repeated over and over quickly with a tap until you can repeat it yourself perfectly. Its simple, easy to navigate, and covers all the basics.
This is a great app but it needed updates and it seemed like you guys addressed the fake Italian accent and added other great things but just like the other users.
All I see is a blank screen. Please fix it…I am keeping my 5 star rating just fix it.
Great new features, crystal clear voice over!

Some bad moments
lots of categories as advertised, BUT, 4 words per situation is a bit light. No full sentences. This is a pass even as a freebee
The description looked OK and then I dowloaded it. Very limited app with very little information. This might be OK for a 99 cent app, but not worth a penny more. The one star rating I gave is too high for this app!
Would give this app 5 stars if u add a search and translate feature in the next upgrade.
High price tag, crappy design, not a lot of information. I went with speakeasy Italian instead, which was far more useful.
