iPhone App Review – French Apps

Submitted by Lee on August 13, 2008 – 1:49 amNo Comment

Now here is something that all of us should never be without and that’s a French translator.
As with all these things no two (or three) programs are created equally so here is a review on the three apps that are currently available as of 13th August 2008.

Name: Talking French Phrasebook
Cost: Free

Link: Here
Review: This was the first and only French app I have stayed with. For the grand price of FREE this application will allow you do have basic conversations and will show you the spelling in English & French but the best thing here is you then just push the speaker icon and it’ll say it for you… EXCELLENT

Pros: FREE ( did we mention that )
Cons: Limited amount of words and phrases but it’s FREE

Name: Lonely Planet French Phrasebook
Cost: £5.99

Review: With 600 phrases this is a very strong addition to anyone French speakers armoury. Some users have found the quality of the sound to be poor but we didn’t have that issue. Worthy upgrade to the Talking French Phrase book application after you’ve exhausted the free app.

Pros: Good solid application with a wide range of phrases.
Cons: Phrases are very “run of the mill” don’t expect too many renovation phrases.

Review: We haven’t purchased this application as we were put off by the poor reviews in the app store with “Don’t buy this” always being a sign of a weak app. In fact you’ll find people referring you to Talking French Phrasebook (1st app on this page) .
