Latest reviews of Speak in the city - French. Audio Phrasebook + Dictionary app for iPhone and iPad
Starts out great, allows use of basic functions (the top 3 in screen shot - ABC...123, Basics and Finding your way) for free, but then wont allow use of any of the rest of the functions without upgrading, for $3.99. False advertising, should include all for free, or charge for all, not mixture. Not happy. Need more reviews, people, so others know about this...
This app is worth paying extra for the full version. Lots of very handy French phrases and verbs help, plus there is an audio pronunciation on a lot of the sentences without having to have Internet access.
I have been studying French for a few years and love this app. it has helped me become the only associate that can communicate with French-speaking customers at the Guess store I work in here in Southern CA. must have :)
I like this app but there a slight problem we some of the context. Every time I look at a section it takes me out the whole entire app and makes me start all over. If you can fix that, that would be great
This is a great app for reviewing, after about 5 minutes of use, the app closes. Every single time. This really needs to be addresses.
